Still here

We are still here!  I had a little problem posting to my blog last week but, I finally figured out how to fix it.  

Where do I begin?  Since I last posted my boys have started Karate lessons.  They are taking it very seriously which makes it even sweeter to watch them take their lessons.

They really don't know any "moves" yet but they think they are ninjas.  I feel blessed that we found a studio who is run by a christian family who doesn't involve any other beliefs in how they teach.   Basically they are learning self defense and they LOVE it!

School is back in session in our house and our days are full to the brim.  I have to be honest and say that summer can't get here fast enough.

In other news...

After Christmas (like every year) I started to try to loose the excess weight.  However, this year thanks to a dear friend, I have discovered the C25K (couch to 5 K) app on my phone.

Running has never been my choice of exercise, but the app on my phone is breaking it down into small steps that are completely manageable.  My brother has always been a runner so hopefully I can learn.   My mom is doing it with me and doing fabulous. 

I don't know if I will ever actually be able to run a 5K but every day I get a little closer to my goal.

Next week we are taking a mini vacation for my birthday to Gatlinburg TN.   I can't express how much I am looking forward to our little get away.  The kids have been counting down the days since last week when we made the reservations.

I know this post has been all over the place but that is how our life is lately.
