Spring Break!!

Even though I do not have a spring break my husband does so that means I get to have a whole week of family time without school work interfering with that. That probably sounds selfish, I really do like having my hubby around without his head buried in books :) This also gives me a time to relax too. We had a great weekend! Jody's dad came and picked up Conner around 9:30 Saturday morning so we had the day to ourselves. We gathered our gear and headed to hattiesburg to the Long leaf trace. We biked around 14 miles and it felt great! My legs felt a little like jello but that was okay. After our nice bike ride we went to the olive garden for a nice peaceful lunch. We had the best day together and got to have some much needed quality time just the 2 of us. Sunday Jody let me sleep late and we missed the early service. We made it to the 2nd service and glad we went. It is such a blessing to be able to worship with my church family and my husband. Sunday was also a beautiful day so after our afternoon nap we took conner for a ride in his little bike stroller. I thought since I had been working out and all and since I was the main one last year who pulled him that it would be no problem to pull this year. Boy was I wrong!! I think the extra weight wore me out at the first hill. We made it to the park and then I had to take a break. On the way back I made Jody pull him and then I did not feel as bad after seeing him sweat from pulling him. :) Today has been a crazy Monday as usual. I felt like today was going to be the day I decided to quit, but I say that every Monday. I wish I had a better atitude toward work. I have been and will be doing some serious praying about this b/c it is bringing me down.
On a happy note, I started week 3 of running/jogging :) I could not feel better. I have had so much more energy and feel healthier already! I really would like for this to become regular in my life. I have set goals for myself and after todays run, I really feel like I will meet those.  Last week, I ran 6 min straight, today I ran 12 min straight. I am so excited! THe only thing that stopped me was I had a serious pain in my neck/shoulder. Not sure what it was but it defiantly slowed me down. I can not wait for tomorrows run. Each day is a brand new day with new goals. I am so thankful for my awesome God who has given me the ability to do this and thankful for my family and friends. God has truly blessed me with some amazing people.
On a sad note, my sister moved this weekend to a far far away place. A place that is almost 9 hours away. I really miss her and hate not able to jump in my car and see her. Even though she got on my nerves sometimes :) I love her so much and I'm missing a part of me. My little KArson is gone too. GOSH!! I need to hush before I start to cry.

Anyway, I do hope everyone has a great week!!

Time change

What a weekend of sickness!! Friday night me and Conner stayed at my parents house and had a slumber party with my mom, sister and Karson. NO MEN!!! Just two little boys that I love to death and 2 of my bestest friends :) We haven't done that in a long time and it would have been a great night if we didn't have sharks. That was our inside joke all weekend. Conner had a major case of the runs this weekend b/c of 15 straight days on an antibiotic. Poor thing was miserable. He would say he had sharks. meaning he sharted!! I guess thats how you say that. I know this is not the most pleasant post but oh well.... Saturday morning he was feeling a little better so we went shopping. RiiRii stocked Conner and Karson up on clothes and goodies as usual and of course we got an outfit too!! I also got me a new pair of running shoes which I am soooo excited about!! We headed home to see my sweet hubby and when we got home he was running a 101.0 fever so needless to say we turned around and came straight back to Taylorsville. We had a great lunch on Sunday prepared my mom and grandma. I hope one day I can cook as good as them. We headed to Laurel after lunch and got to do a little bike riding while Memaw and Pepaw watched Conner. I miss my bike so much but my booty sure did not miss it. We got to play outside for a bit and the weather was so nice. We visited with Jody's dad for a while before heading home. WE had to dodge Jody cause he was still a very sick person. We slept very good in Conner's bed. It is so nice to be home. Today Jody is feeling much better so he watched Conner while I did some running, then cooked supper and cookies and some cleaning. It has been a pretty good day especially since I have my hubby back feeling well. I hope everyone has a great week!! Pictures to come :)

Just a couple of things I am looking forward to...

I can not wait to see this pretty body of water!! We are going to Fort Walton Beach in May. This will be our first little family vacation! We always go with my parents but thought it would be cool to have a vacation of our own.

I really do miss freshly cut GREEN grass. I miss the smell and especially the color.

pretty flowers growing on the side of the street.

I can not wait to go camping this year. We only went one time last summer but i have a feeling we will go lots now that Conner is older. This makes me happy :)

I love warm summer nights where we light the chiminea and grill.

I have had this idea in my head since I bought my sewing machine. How peaceful would it be to sew outside under the sun and the wind gently blowing.

Happy Wednesday to all!!
