Today we delivered Xmas cards to some people at a nursing home including my grandma who just got moved there. They were all so genuinely happy! Haley didn't have school today so she helped and I wanted to show her how good it felt to make others happy. She them asked if we can buy a gift card to tarhet for her dentist! How sweet is that?! She said because nobody likes to see him she thought he would appreciate that! Love! We bought a gift card to target for him and also another to randomly give to a stranger. I found a little girl shopping with what looked to be her grandmother. I went up to her and said merry Xmas buy yourself something special! She smiled so big and said thank you! Feels amazing. Tonight we are going to take the girls to a movie while we do some extra Xmas shopping. Love my family!!!!

Made reindeer and melted snowman crafts with the daycare. It was a fun filled day at work. Haley for a perfect on her habitat project dad and I helped her with! I got my hair trimmed today feels a lot better. I feel lately with my eating I keep saying oh I will start tomorrow same with running/toning. Today I said no more. I will take a pic everyday to mark my progress. I am focusing my goal on toning for muscle definition. Not tyr number on the scale as I did with training for my half marathon. I will still do my cardio Saturdays Sundays and Thursday nights. I'm setting this muscle goal to reduce my body fat percentage as my weight now is not concerning to me. I will focus more on abs and glutes. No slack tho! Training for marathon starts in exactly two months ahhhhh!

I figured I would/should probably start putting into words how crazy and busy my life has been! When I get older I seem to become even more busy and I would like to look back at some wonderful times/days spent and be able to share this with my children as they grow! Brief update over the last year... And I mean very brief! Attended my sisters wedding for New Years down in Atlanta.got engaged march 10th of this year. Stars were glow in the dark and Steve and I were laying in bed as usual and he gave me a back massage and for some reason I didnt turn on my back to even notice so he asks me to look up! It was adorable. We wanted something fun and unique. We played around with so many ideas on how to and where to get married. Caribbean,ski hill,church,locally,Etc. We both agreed that our passion for running would be perfect if we did it locally at the Mankato mArathon. This was our second half mRathon and it was local so it was so perfect. My dad ran the last half mile with me to honor the "walk the daughter down the isle". Cute, I know! The pics taken were incredible. I could go on and on just about this topic. How famous we became on the news,newspapers,lol. We made a scrapbook and have a ton of pictures so ill wrap that topic up with one word: perfect. Moving on, daycare business is going great I love my career but the house is getting ruined by kids I wish I could have a separate house just for daycare. Steve and I have decided to run our first (and probably not lAst!) marathon out in Seattle in June of 2014. The training is brutal but we both want to be able to say we did this great achievement. Thanksgiving is coming up again(crazy we have been living in our house a little over a year already!!!) we will host it( we love cooking!) and it should be great to be with family (my favorite people!). I will try , notice I say try, to update daily as I stated earlier I really want to look back and see how beautiful my life hAs been. That's all for today :)
