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!!
