how great is my husband?

Many of you may know that over the past 2 years my husband has developed a strong affinity running. Even though I also enjoy running, I blame his BFF Andy Sikora. Petey’s running story has been quite interesting. You might remember his days as a Nike Human Race Ambassador…

(Petey’s the one in the long sleeved black shirt in the middle).

Since the beginning of his running journey he’s lost around 70 lbs. He also completed an ultra-marathon last February and next weekend he will be running in his first marathon in Austin. I’m super proud of him!

So, here begins the extra-great part of him. Because of running and all the weight that he has lost, his wedding band that I bought him almost 6 years ago has become extremely too large for his finger. So after months of talking about taking it to a jeweler to be resized, we finally did it this past Thursday. They said that it would probably take a few days for it to be ready (totally expected).

Yesterday, I walked into his office at work (I get to do that often since we work together!), and noticed this horrible looking residue all around his finger!

Ashley: Petey, what is that on your finger?
Petey: Yesterday, I drew a wedding ring on my finger with a sharpie.

How great is my husband?! I love him.
