Learning to Run

Most of you know this about me, that I am NOT a runner.

I have decided that I want to actually RUN the Albertville 5K Run on June 13th. So, this weekend I started running. I have a 2 mile loop that I have been running. Ran it 3 times this weekend and actually enjoyed myself. Who would have thought I would enjoy running!?

So my goal is to at least finish 3.1 miles in 30 minutes, I figure that is decent since I am NOT a runner :)

So if you ever feel like a run.......let me know, as I am learning to run!

A Break Much Needed

I am SO freakin' excited that I have 3 days off of work. I did let the idea of coming in this weekend cross my mind to work on stuff, but WTH?! I am not doing that! I need a break!
Plus I HAVE to get my house ready for the party next weekend.

For those of you that don't know Luke and I are hosting a couple's shower for Ana and Adam and their baby to be. We are doing it BBQ style.......I am SUPER excited. If anyone knows where I can get some red and white checkered table clothes, let me know! :)

Pretty sure it is 6:30pm and I haven't even left yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELP!

So Much for 9-5

You know the song, "workin' 9 to 5...." Yeah....that is definitely NOT my life these days. Work is very busy....hence the no blogging.....................WA WAAAAAA :)

Worked outside ALL day yesterday. Woke up today w/ a sunburned nose.....But doesn't it look beautiful! Ok, well it will look better when it is all blooming.

Not Ending

Ok - so I am not ending my blog.......but I am taking a break.

Final Blog Coming

I have decided that I am going to be ending my blog..............The final blog will come soon...........stay tuned.

Monday

I had a great weekend. Got a ton of yard work done and went to a co-workers graduation party. Very fun!

Monday is not so fun..........work is busy and our power already went out and then the copier/printer/fax broke...........

what's been going on

So.....in the past 3 weeks I have lost 8 pounds. I haven't even been trying to lose weight, but I have been stressed with work and life in general and I think that has been a key factor in this happening. I stepped on the scale (which I didn't own one of these until about 2 months ago) and had to take a double take when I looked down. It is weird to lose weight when you aren't trying.....kinda made me nervous at first, but then I thought, oh well. I just want to make sure I don't keep losing weight, because I definitely don't need to.

I haven't been very good about blogging lately, because I have been so busy. I have been putting in almost 50 hour work weeks every week for the past 3 weeks. You may not think the Real Estate market is that busy, but it is picking up. March 2008 to March 2009, the amount of home sales increased by 30%. That is actually a pretty significant number in 1 year due to where the housing market has been. Also, interest rates for loans right now are at an all time low and with the new Obama program everyone who can is refinancing, keeping me VERY busy.

I am thankful however for my job. I am happy that I have something to pour myself into right now. If I didn't I think I would be having a lot more difficult time with life.

Life has been stressful because I have been feeling very isolated lately. In my neighborhood Luke and I are the only ones without kids. Out of all our friends (who live in this country) we are the only ones without kids or pregnant. I do not resent my friends for this, however it puts me in a very different place in life. I love kids and will play with kids and what not, but as you mom's know, I can't full understand what it is like for you because I don't have a child of my own on this earth. Now by saying this I am not asking for a pitty party, I am just trying to help you understand my mind and what I am working through right now.

I have also come to a conclusion that I am done "trying" to get pregnant. It is entirely too stressful for me and to emotionally difficult. So I am just going to live my life and let life happen. I mean, let's be honest, I am 27 years old....I am still very young, what is the point of rushing?

So with all this said, these are the things that have been going on in my world as of late, busy at work, busy at home and just plain feeling busy. I have found a great relaxer in all of this.......A bubble bath, a beer and a book.............aaaaaah! You should try it, it's heavenly! :)
