Recap of the weekend

Hope everyone's Memorial weekend was fantastic! Mine sure was I got out of Illinois and went to Nashville with my hubby and parents!! It went by too fast. Everyday at work I see soo many people struggling to stay healthy, to feel better, families suffering or patients in pain, looking back on my weekend with my family I just thank my Savior for the time I got to share with them having fun and making memories. My everyday life makes me immensely grateful for my "real" life! Love my family and here are a few pics from the weekend!

wonderful weekend

Hi y'all! It is a wonderful weekend the weather is amazing!!! I will take hot anyday over cold!! My Beffy and I went for a run thru the park this morning and it rejuvenated me. It had been a long week.. Tonight we are going to our Sunday school cookout, should be fun there's going to be sooo much food! Can't wait to test it all. My goal for the month of May is to finish the flower beds and also paint my front door from candy apple red to seafoam! Can't wait because it will look awesome one day when we have the shake shingle on the front of our home. The color combos will pop!

Hello Thursday

It's Thursday and my hubby has left for work out of town all weekend. Bummer! I however will have enough to do until he returns, appointments, homework, cleaning and a cook out despite the weather being cool. Today however it is sunny so enjoy it! I am really gung-ho about getting major serious about jumping back on fitness craze, dont get me wrong I have not stopped ever working out but i have been more than lax on my workouts. I am revved up and ready to push myself back into the shape i was 2 years ago when I felt amazing about my body so bring it on treadmill, dumbells, and maybe some p90x! What do you do to stay fit???
