I have said it many times but I am infinitely blessed...the obvious healthy children and a cured husband, a great job and wonderful friends. But the other little things...my husband supports my career, he loves our children, my children are inquisitive and funny, my older sister and Missy call me all the time, even when I forget to make time for them. Saturdays I sit in with the boys, snuggle and enjoy them. Life is nice...happy and nice!!!!
Tomorrow is the 5K run for the Race for Hope - Brain Cancer Run!!!!
I am lcuky to have friends to raise money and take their Sunday morning to goto DC with us!!!

New found love

I decided at the beginning of this year that I would start running. First I want to run a 5K....just a fun accomplishment but second a cheap way to lose weight! I started out ok and not super happy with my performance but the change came and quickly. Now 6 weeks, a mp3 player and fancy running shoes later I am loving it. I can run for a mile without stopping. I can run 3 miles without feeling like I hit a brick wall. I can think while I run and not focus on whether I can breathe. I may not have perfect form, lift my knees enough or run enough but when I do I love it! I have lost 7 lbs which is nice but what really is great is I can run around with my kids like crazy! That is important. I also don't feel like I am naturally a lazy person!!! The kids get to see me healthy and my husband realizes I am not a couch potato!
LOVE IT...off to buy some underarmour shirts !!! woohoo

Weddings and the end of 2008

So I ended 2008 with the last of the four weddings I was involved with this year. This year was fantastic....busy and too fast but fantastic. Just how I thought all my years with my family would be. 3 years ago I thought things would never get back to normal but now (and only now) after I look back over the year I see that it was just normal. Every wedding was important and individually would have made for a great year but we had; Jeff's cousin Casey, whom I adore, Jeff's brother James and my new sister-in-law Lauren, whose love is peaceful and constant, my best friend Lisa and Jeff's best friend Tom, who have been a godsend to us over the years and lastly my baby sister Crystal ad her marine husband Tim, who are wonderful people with a bright future. So I wish them all the love in the world, I pray that there worst day is something they can be with each other to support and that there best days are still ahead. I think this everyday....I hated three years ago but I am so fortunate to know each and every day how important my husband, children, family and friends are to me. I am very very blessed and very helpful and happy for what I have. This is going to be a good year!!!

finally

So I wanted to start this blog before, many times, and I have procrastinated. First because of my lack of time, than because I thought I had nothing to say and lastly because I decided I was a terrible writer. But I have decided that I really need a place to get my thoughts down. Not a place to update anyone on my life or give the world any fantastic insight, just a moment in time for me to record my thoughts somewhere. I am sure I will reread some items and say was that me? what was I thinking? or why would I write that? In all honesty we do that with our friends and spouses so what is the difference. The written word is forever but the spoken word can always be remembered however we want to interpret it. So that is it...woohoo I finally started. Nothing big but I started my new year and I started my blog...I feel like a success!!!!
Happy New year to all!!!
