It's been Thanksgiving/Christmas for too long...hence my need to update the blog!
Update #1 Lots of work and trips
My hard working husband has a long month ahead of him. Due to some out of town trips he currently only has 2 days in March off... yikes. I hope he decides to take a day off this week, he needs some time just to himself to relax and do some projects with the Porsche that have been on his mind. February was a busy month for him as well, but he had the chance on one of his trips to spend a weekend with his parents in California, he really enjoyed a much needed relaxing couple of days with them!
Update #2 Some travel for me too
I'm not quite traveling for work like Matt has been, unless you count our monthly field trips at school! I am excited for a visit out to the LA area at the end of the month! My wonderful friend Julie is getting married and I am so excited to spend some time with her and other friends previous to the wedding and enjoying her special day as well! I will also be able to get a couple of days to spend with Matt's parents. Yippee!
Update #3 Don't be jealous
We were able to host some wonderful guests this past week. Our friends Nate and Lynn were near our area for a family event and they came out to stay a night with us. It was so fun to see them! We enjoyed reliving memories from the days we were in Schweinfurt, Germany. It was also awesome to hear about their upcoming ventures into the mission field. What an amazing couple to go out and share God's word and love to those who may never have the opportunity to hear it.
Update #4 Deployments
My dad was recently able to go home to Virginia for his 2 week R and R, he enjoyed spending time with Mom (of course), my sister + family, and other family in the Boston area. I was sad not to get the chance to see him, but am looking forward to seeing him on his return this summer.
My sister's fiance (Ray) deployed this past week, so they are beginning their year long separation.
Update #5 Off to the races!
Matt and I are excited about a half marathon we are racing in at the end of April. We will be heading down to Nashville, TN for the race, and can't wait! Training recently began and boy are my legs tired. I kind of attribute it to stuff other than running...
I recently received my group exercise certifications in step class and indoor cycling. I have added 3 step classes in my week. 2 of which I am leading and 1 that I am participating in. It's been a blast and I am loving it, but with those classes, the half marathon training, plus a new phase of weight training that started this month. I am definitely tired at the end of the week. Hopefully my body will get used to this extra work!
Update #6 Spring Break!
I am looking forward to Spring Break! It begins at the end of this upcoming week. My mom is coming out to visit for the time and I am so excited to have her here. Hopefully we will get some good golf days in!
