A new YEAR...prepping FoR the BEST ever!!!

Once again way over due for an update...but I need to sneak one in REALLY quick as my blog will be under construction very soon!!  I have lots of exciting things in the works for the new year...got to keep myself SUPER busy.

I have been really getting into crocheting and knitting...but for some reason I really dig crocheting.  I happened upon an Instagram hashtag, #crochetmoodblanket2014, and thought to myself...hmmmm...what does that mean??  So I checked it out; the quick gist is that you crochet a granny square a day or week depending on what works for you and at the end of the year you will have a blanket that reflects on 2014!!!  I thought this would be a VERY cool project and decided to do the one square a week challenge...as I have other projects on my mind to complete in 2014 as well!!  If you are on Instagram you should totally check out #crochetmoodblanket2014 the talent of a simple granny square is over the top.  Or check out the blog authored by the gal who started it all FroFunky.

Another thing that I am super proud of right now is that I can, with 100% confidence, say that I am out of retirement and back to running!!!  It truly is a feel good medication for my mind, body and soul!!!  I have to give lots of credit to a few of my biggest fans, running partners and supporters...Ang, Mom, Anna, Brandon, Jacey and Victoria!!! (and Pitbull radio on Pandora helps too!!)  I am also hooked up on Facebook with a great group called, Fellow Flowers, they are so motivational and totally get the highs and lows of being a runner.  They are having a Declare It Day, Saturday February 1, where you can put your goals out there and have a great group cheering you on the whole way!!!  I have my goals all ready to go as I have also begun training for the Salt Lake City Half Marathon in April...hoping for my best race yet!!

As always the girls keep my busy and loving my job as a stay at home mom, which by the way my tween informs me is not a job because I don't get paid, yes she looked it up in the dictionary on her iTouch!?!?!?  Competitive season for gymnastics and dance starts very soon...which means my weekends will be filled with lots of fun events!!!  These are my favorite moments...watching my girls shine at what they love...fills my heart with pure joy and unconditional LOVE!!!

As I stated above my blog will be UNDER CONSTRUCTION very soon by the very talented Jana Tolman and I have lots of other fun, EXCITING news/surprises to come this year!!!
