Spring Break!

I just love spring break. No schedules, no running around, just me and the kids sleeping in playing and doing fun projects. We ventured up to Washington to visit friends and had a wonderful time as usual. We took the kids to a Dinosaur exhibit at the UW and saw the T-Rex, Triceratops, a Ground Sloth and long tooth lion. Tanner thought it was way cool. Renee had fun running around dancing and singing. I think that taking her to a dance exhibit will be the next stop. We always enjoy visiting Washington as that is where Jeramie and I started our marriage and lived for 3 yrs. It brought back many good memories.

The rest of spring break was very enjoyable as I got to spend time with my sister who I never get much time with. I loved that. I sure have grown to be very attached to her. But... still like my space.

So I have been focusing on the 1/2 marathon and am getting really excited. Something about running with a lot of ppl that gets me excited. I do have to say yesterday Stacy and I walked 5 miles of the 13 miles we have to walk/run in 4 hrs. We did great!!!! I know that on performance day we will be great. I haven't been this excited about something for a while.

This morning I was in pain from the walk yesterday and even at morning class felt like jell-o half the time. I made the comment "No pain no gain" My friend reminded me what gain we were wanting. I love the weight loss never do I ever want to go back to weight gain. I know that it is an everyday process. I am only 20 lb away from my goal weight and I am so happy. I have started working an putting together a book. I would love to write more about this experience. Not a long one but something quick that anyone could pick up and read with in a day or two.

Sorry for the babbeling.

Uhg Face Book!!!

I normally write my most intimate thoughts in my journal. I am feeling very claustrophobic. I think that the rain and cold weather is really getting to me. I have joined face book only cause one family member thought to go outside of the box. Thanks Ken. I have mixed emotions about this. I shared my frustration about it at boot camp this am. Sorry to those who got the brunt of it all. I have to say over the last week I have found two high school buddies and well wasn't all that thrilled. I am wondering if when you reconnect that you find your self remembering things you really wish you didn't. I have to say when looking up these friends I looked at them as friends. But... as time went on I remembered not so good times. So today I found a college friend. I admired him as a friend and today we found each other. It was neat to learn about him and his family. I have to say that it was a sweet moment. I think it is funny that as I have been married for 10 yrs I have really forgotten about the past. So here I ramble in not a great order. About face booking when you try to find someone and when you do they ask how are you what have you been up to. I say I am great blah blah blah. What I forget is that I am of value. Now don't get me wrong most of my answers have been that I'm married 10 yrs, two children, I live in Oregon, and that is about it. But hey why don't I say I make and create jewelry. I taught my self how to do it and never took a class. I teach dance and love it. like everyone has some major calling in life. I know I am rambling. I am just on a soap box about face book and today I liked it. It was nice to finally find a friend from the past that will always have a place in my heart. So sorry that you read this post. It was more for me.

3 months to get Ready

I am so excited to announce that on June 12,2009 Jeramie and I will be running/walking the Helvatia Marathon. It is a 13 mile marathon that starts at 8:00am. I don't care if it takes me all day to finish. I will cross the finish line. I am determined to start training this week. I can't wait to start this new journey. I will keep you posted on how it goes.
