Busy Bees!

we have been busy little bees. 

in other news, some peeps are dropping by tomorrow to replace this hot mess which is the window situation in our house. old nasty windows to be replaces with brand spankin' new energy efficient ones. yay! also important because we are installing an alarm system, because the combo of my job +our car being broken into has made me slightly paranoid. (seriously)

someone ran away to enjoy some guy time on a houseboat at Lake Powell. yes he is exactly as sunburned as he looks.  but he had a great time and it was well deserved. i get to run away tomorrow while windows are installed.....fair trade.

 

this was going to be more but as a result of a lovely power outage i enjoyed an evening of takeout thai and movies with the husband  instead. also, fair trade. more later. xoxo

jumping for joy

we are jumping for joy (literally) because we have some out of townies staying for the week

we have been amusing ourselves with pictures at all of the most randomly fabulous places

love it! 

5k

So several months ago I started a bit of a life change. Walking/running more. Eating better and sometimes less.  Surprisingly sometimes more of better things. I am eating breakfast and drinking water.  I am being more thoughtful and focused on what fuel i'm putting into my body and trying to be real about what's worth a splurge and what will leave me feeling gross after.

so far i'm 20 lbs down and walk/running 5 k almost every other day.

Some days are easier than others and you had better believe that I am HAPPY to see my nike+ipod hit that 5k. for reals.

I'm planning on running my first 5K in Sedona in February. I think this may cross off something on my life list as well because to be honest...when I wrote my list I didn't think I could run a 5K. 

two

"they were two,

they had adored each other,

there was nothing but that."

have i mentioned how much i love this guy? 

it will be 7 years this november (my lucky number) and we are more in love every day. 

(sappy but true)

p.s. i also love sushi dates and my fuji instax camera

there is something so magical about an instant picture, no retakes, just that moment captured forever
