2012
I can’t believe I let myself forget about this blog. It’s been 5 months since the last time I wrote! It was fun for me to go back and read my previous posts. I have been maintaining my weight of 120 for the past couple of months. I actually got down to 116 but found that it was hard to stay there. My body seems happy at 120 and I feel pretty comfortable with it. I did eventually get into running and in November I ran my first ever 10K. 6.1 miles. I did it in just over an hour which is not an amazing time but I was proud of myself for doing it! Sam actually ran it too and he finished really quick… I think his time was 52 minutes. The holidays came and went and now we are 3 months into the new year. As of late, time has been going by so fast- too fast.
Today is the first day of Sam’s spring break. We are so excited that he has spring break this year! BYU never gave spring break and we were always jealous of the students that got it. He is still working this week, and thats where he is now. He is working at his dads company doing accounting. It has turned out to be the greatest job. It is decent pay and the hours and location are perfect. Today we are trying to think of some fun things we can do with Connor this week. Since we are not going on a vacation we are just going to try and do some fun things around town. We definitely want to go for lots of bike-rides and walks. We are also thinking of going to the PHX Zoo, the aquarium, or the childrens museum. I’m sure we will also go to Freestone parks to feed the ducks. Connor loves doing that!
Speaking of Connor…. he is getting smarter every single day. I will write details about it on the blog I keep for him but oh my goodness the child knows so much. He is truly my best little friend and I have SO much fun spending our days with just the two of us. Some people don’t believe me when I say this, but I honestly love every single thing about being a stay at home mom. I cannot imagine my life any other way. Lately I have been wanting to get pregnant so bad! I have what you call “baby fever”. Sam really wants to have another baby too, but feels like we should wait so that we will have good health insurance (it starts when he starts his job with Deloitte in September). And Mr. Money man is right. It would sure save us a lot of money that we dont have if we wait a few more months. So for now we are pushing it off for a little while. But watch out. Once I get that insurance we are going to be making babies like its no ones business :) TMI. Sorry!
I know this is getting a little (or a lot) long, but I feel like there is so much to catch up on. Oh well. Back to day to day stuff. This week I plan on being extra extra fit! I want to exercise at least twice per day. I was going to get up this morning and go to a step class at the gym at 5:15, but when my alarm went off at 4:30 I just couldn’t do it. Sam and i stayed up late last night watching TV and then when we finally went to bed we talked and talked for about another hour. I wonder if other couples do that? We always talk late night in bed. Its where we have some of our best conversations and talk about important things. I love Sam so much. We have the most wonderful relationship. So anyway, after our late night chat I didn’t think I would do so well at a step class if I was running on 4 hours sleep. So I hit snooze and snuggled in our blankets until Connor woke up at 6:30.
Well my little buddy (who is sitting at the table next to me eating cheerios) is getting a little impatient with my writing. I think we will go read some books together. I’ll write more later.
XO,
