Week 6

This week was very low key. On a whim, we tried a new place for lunch on Saturday (the Winery - located on the east side of Westroads, near Salon Tino), and were pleasantly surprised. I will say, the environment was interesting. I'm not sure how we always find places that make us feel like we've time traveled back in time to 1992, but we do. This place has pink and aqua walls, and tables and booths that boast ridiculous patterns. It made us laugh. We did, however, enjoy an incredibly cheap and filling meal - a true deli-style lunch. I think we'll probably try it again sometime.

Also, this week I ran the longest run I have ever done to date: 10 miles. It goes without saying that my feel hurt after that. Only two more weeks until the big half marathon - can't wait!!!

Week 3 - New Activity


Fashion show time!

As of Saturday (January 30), the Bolins had never been to a fashion show. Not so now. Saturday evening we attended a local event called Fashion in Salvation - a production displaying local designers, all to benefit the homeless in Omaha. My brosef Shawn and our dear friend Sarah participated in the fashion palooza as well.

It was...fascinating. I wasn't sure what to expect, and maybe secretly hoped it would be like Project Runway. That may have been a stretch. It was, however, a high-energy, show-'em'-what-you're-made-of-Omaha-designers, palooza, which made for an enjoyable experience.

It was packed (standing room only), and there was an incredible buzz as people waited for the show to begin (side note - the show started an hour and a half late. Good thing we didn't get there on time!) Once the show finally started, the models show-cased some of Omaha's rising stars AND some of Omaha's most bizarre people. Check out the video clip for an entertaining glimpse into the world of wacky designers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IHcXO89shM&feature=youtu.be

Overall it was a fun night! Apparently there's an Omaha fashion week (who knew?!?), so maybe we'll check that out. As for fashion show fun, it was a good "adventure"!
