Changes...

even though I am still unsure if they are worth posting. My one and only fan (my sister) has been requesting some blog updates and I am not really sure what to tell her besides that I don't have much to write about these days. I am busy trying to squeeze in a new job schedule, family, visitors, pilates, training for the Pat Tillman run, spring training and friends. It's been reeeaalllly hard on me, hahaha! This time of year is kind of like Christmas because it reminds me how thankful I am for having such an amazing life. I've spent the last few weekends enjoying family being in town, working and laying out since the weather has been nothing short of perfect. So while tomorrow brings a big day at work with a webinar presentation and two client sessions, I plan on enjoying the night at the Coyotes vs. Wild game. I am counting down the hours until the weekend and I can't wait to be able to go to another spring training game and celebrate Loomer's birthday at Toby Keith's, Yeeehaw!

I am off to go practice for my presentation, run with Lucy and cook dinner (never thought I would type those three things in a sentence together). Happy Wednesday!

Babies Babies Babies

Will (Karli's husband) got to bring Baby Bodie home a few days ago!!!! Super exciting and of course a little nerve racking.... here is a great article on some updates on this adorable little family!! Love and miss ya Karli!

Also congrats to Nicholas and Sarah and welcome little Brynlee Faith Amsberry!! Can't wait to meet her, look how cute!

Birthday festivities

I would spend my entire birthday week fighting off a cold that just won't go away. I was more than determined to enjoy family dinner with everyone I love regardless of how I was feeling. The good news is I was feeling good just had a little bit of a lost voice. It was great to go to a new restaurant, enjoy some company and laugh away the night. (it must be a good sign when your aunt and mom are arm wrestling at the end of the night) Good thing I was there to keep them in line... thanks for all the great presents fam damily and of course for coming out. Since I didn't take any pics I will have to wait for Aunt Cindy to post some! Until then here is where we had dinner.

Currently I am relaxing with goose while drinking hot tea (for the throat) and watching HGTV. Man o man 26 came up fast! I am planning on breakfast with Kris and then Tommy planned a surprise for tonight so we will have to wait and see.....

Eventful Monday

Today was nothing short of a roller coaster. I started things off strong with an overflowing toilet.....again!!! After cleaning that up and waiting for the plumber, I finally sat down to work from home on my computer. The plumber started working and no more than 3 minutes in I hear Lucy making a gagging noise. I head out to the living room to a puppy getting sick everywhere. After getting on my hands and knees and tackling that mess, the other mess(my toilet) is fixed. :-) I get everything together and finally head in to work (at 10:30am).

Normal work day, thank goodness! I don't know if I could take to many more surprises!!

Meet my mom and aunt for a delicious lunch at True Food!! Sooo yummy, I am three days going strong with no diary and I can already tell it is a world of a difference on my little tummy. Now it's off to more studying, eating and then sleep.

Pilates bright and early tomorrow!!! 6am!!!

*I am just in love with this song, definitely on repeat!!

Sunday Browsing

it's official I might be procrastinating from studying.... so I definitely did some window shopping today. Here are a few things I found and loved....there is a definitely trend if you can't already guess what my new years resolution is.... (me and the rest of the world right?) :-)

toesox from pilates (need more than one pair)

An amazingly cute swimsuit

LuluLemon tanktops- it would be nice if they didn't cost an arm and a leg

and there were more than enough cute ASU clothes at Victoria Secret....but I can't put up the entire inventory on my blog so maybe just the underwear, yoga pants and sweatshirts.

Saturday

This Saturday was a little bit different than most....

6:35am: woke up to my alarm- looked over to see my fluff ball giving a big yawn. *You know it's early when your puppy still wants to sleep.

6:40am: tired to pull my sore body out of bed to brush my teeth and put a sweatshirt on. (had to take Lucy to Petsmart extra early today to get her teeth cleaned) (also trying to keep her distracted while I study)

6:55am: hopped in the car and we were off to Petsmart. Got there early only so the cleaning guy and his loud machine could scare the crap out of Lucy (literally he scared the CRAP out of her).

7:20am: left Petsmart after cleaning up some business and passed Lucy off to the doctor (super sad pup).

8:00am: back in bed, out cold!

9:00am: second alarm, it's pilates time (once again pulled myself out of bed exhausted and sore).

9:20am: driving to pilates and I saw this sign.....

*this is the saying that Karli had tattooed on her back* (the friend that passed away on Dec. 19th) I definitely stopped to take a picture, a deep breath and to have a few tears. Thanks for reminding me Karli that life is never to hard and I shouldn't complain about getting up early! We are always thinking of you!!

Plans for the rest of the day.......11:15am: quit procrastinating!!!! Start studying......

Loving 2012

Having a little time off from work can really do wonders. I have enjoyed spending some time studying for the BCBA exam, reading my kindle, cooking, sleeping, shopping, working out, dancing, and going to movies. I have spent the last few days laying in bed studying (feels good to actually make time) along with taking breaks to read my new favorite book series (The Hunger Games) You need to read!!!

Also Sam and I have spent far to many hours playing Just Dance 3 on the Wii, laughing so hard at each other while dripping in sweat. We are going to wrap up our weekend off with a movie today and a little more studying!!! Can't wait, back to the grind tomorrow!!!
