February Wrap Up

Thinking of doing this wrap up on the month of February I was reminded that I'm another year older. When is it going to feel like I am an adult, not just a 17 year old stuffed into a family with a husband to care for and a child to look after? It seems weird to think I'm 30 something. When did this happen? The years have flown by, and all I can say is so far this year has been AWESOME! I've really been pushing myself to be a better me. Drum roll please...

I did my 20 miles this month although it nearly killed me (just kidding). But I was very unmotivated, one week I only ran 3 miles. Anyway... Next month 25 miles.

Mother: I must keep my voice raising in check. This one has been really hard, but I feel like I'm slipping. Gotta keep this one in mind. Wildman, Suge and I went to a spaygetti dinner after church last Sunday, that was a first!

Wife: Suge and I went to Vegas and while he spent lots of time learning, I spent lots of time having fun, but also lifting him up! This is going to be a great year for him and his business.

Financial: Still haven't made the appointment and here it is March, but we did find out that we don't have to PAY taxes this year. Thank goodness. That's a step in the right direction.

Spiritual: On track with my Bible reading. Suge did call regarding a life group that meets on Sunday nights. I hope we go this week.

Fitness: I lifted weights once this month and couldn't move my arms for days! I better step it up, it's almost spring! Met my running goal. I'm running a 5K on the 20th and ran one on Feb. 13th too.

Health: Still an A+. Also have Wildman flossing every day too!

Random: Cleaned out the cabinet under my bathroom sink. Working on friendships too!

I think maybe I should get a B++ for February. Especially since I ran that 5K and since I convinced Suge to run it too (see pic).

I hope your year is going just as well.

xoxo.

Freaky Friday

Lots of bloggers have wordless Wednesdays,

but I think I'll start Freaky Friday.

This one's for you Mims-

Post Holiday Stress

It's Tuesday night after a 3 day holiday weekend, and a week of holiday for me personally, so you can understand when I say: It's 8:42 p.m. and I'm going to take a bath and go to bed.

No questions asked.

Planning for Spring

So...6 more weeks of winter huh? That's what the groundhog says! I don't mind it really, but when I think of all the wonderful things we do in the spring, I am sort of ready. Ready to let Wildman be wild, OUTSIDE! The girls are already planning for a spring ride and I can say without a doubt that I'll be ready for that. There's also a trip to Miami for Sweetheart's bachelorette party, and then the wedding (which is like 3 months and 20 days away--not to give you heart failure Sweetheart, but just a quick FYI).

So what are your plans for spring? Do they include getting out into nature?

Report on the month of January

So, I came up with my mileage goal for February since today is the 1st. I thought I'd try to do 20 miles this month. It's actually more than I did in January, but not too lofty. Actually if I ran 3.1 twice a week I'd meet this quite easily, but since I get bored at mile 2, I thought I'd push myself just a little this month. So 20 miles it is.

As for my other goals:

Mother: Still working on the raising of my voice, but getting a LOT better. Sawyer and I went to the Rodeo (although that's not entirely new, it's not something we get to do but once a year-so it counts).

Wife: Must work harder on these.

Financial: Took at step toward finding that advisor. Probably about to blow the whole spend less goal out of the water when we go to Vegas...

Spiritual: On track with my Bible reading. Haven't made a step toward finding a life group.

Fitness: Set my goal (see above). Have not lifted weights, that may be beginning in March. But, I am running a 5K in two weeks and have one penciled in for March.

Health: A+ Have taken my vitamin and flossed EVERY day!

Random: Have cleaned out Wildman's closet and my green cabinet in the kitchen. Working on friendships too!

I'd say I get a B for January. Confessing it to you like this will help!

How's it going for you?
