HOLA! Mexico!

Mexico was unbelievably fantastic. We ate, we drank, we spent time with family, we drank, we swam, we took photos, we drank.

There aren't even words for how amazing it was. So I will show you

I'm using today as a day to start over.

A year ago today, I realized just how dangerous my husband's job is. I learned exactly what can happen in one day, and how brutal our lives have the ability to be. He learned what its like to lose a friend, and to be in fear for one of your own.

Six months before that, his brother almost died, from something his dad almost died from too.

Ten months later, my baby brother did die.

I will never, ever again say something like "this year has to be better than the last, right?" Never. But, I can hope for better, hope for more, hope for happiness, hope for peace.

Maybe ?

I'm trying to set up my Blog so I can post mobile updates.
Not sure if it works or not!!

lazy sunday

Today was our first day of less than 80° weather YAY!

I never ever EVER thought that I would be happy about a day where it was 65° and raining but it was GREAT! We needed the rain so badly, and we went out to breakfast and then came home and were lazy all day. We didn't do laundry, we didn't vacuum, we didn't organize. I made cupcakes, thats about as proactive as we got.

It was great !

training!

I'm going to run a 5k!

I'm not sure when yet, but we'll get to that. I'm doing the couch to 5k program, because I figure that will get me started without too much too fast so I want to quit. I feel good after today (day one!).

Its 3 days a week, 30ish minutes per day. The guide is on my ipod so I can do it wherever, whenever.

Well, not whenever. I was going to do it before work this morning and it was too dark :( so I had do do it after work at the gym on the treadmill. But that actually is good because it means I can regulate my speed and not tire myself out by trying to go too fast too soon.

We'll see how it goes!

So bad

It has been way too long since my last post!

We've been crazy busy, running back to Toledo, cleaning for an open house, trying to keep the house clean after the Open House (that one is actually going well!)

I did some crafts the other night:

I don't know if I will ever be brave enough to wear this outside, but maybe!


My fall wreath... you can't really tell unless the sun is shining on it, but EVERYTHING sparkles. LOL are you shocked?
