Happy Thanksgiving 2010

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

There are many things in my life that I am very thankful for this year, and more so than other years. I am so happy to be happily married to a wonderful husband. I love Matt so much and am so thankful that we are entering a new stage of our marriage together with children.

I am so thankful for the military protecting our safety overseas and for the sacrifice that they make and am so thankful for the family members that support their loved ones. I am so thankful for the many troops that make it home safe and sound.

I am thankful for the wonderful opportunity to be able to work in a job that I love and work out of my home. I am so thankful for each of my students and the hard work and dedication they have towards taking piano and horn lessons.

I am so thankful for the opportunity to serve the sisters in my branch and help to uplift them in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

I am so thankful for many other things in my life, such as my family, but will end it here as I could go on, and on, and on.

May we each have a wonderful and Happy Thanksgiving this day and remember what we are each truly thankful for in our lives.

Seriously...It's True!

I AM PREGNANT!!!

8 years, 3 different fertility clinics, and 54 shots in my belly, and I am finally pregnant. I told my parents and my parents told EVERYONE and the news kind of just exploded from there, so now everyone knows and I am posting this.

Stats:

I am 4 weeks along.

I am due July 24, 2011

I am feeling fine just a little heartburn, but I am fine.

Matt is excited too!

I truly feel blessed for the wonderful opportunity to be able to be a mother soon! Thank you everyone for all of your kind words and thoughts. I am so thankful for everything that you have done for me.

5k- 16 days away

I am currently training for my first 5k. Well, I guess it is not really "training" because it is just running 3 miles but still I have to work and earn it. I am going to run in the Fredericksburg Turkey Trot 5k on Thanksgiving morning. So only 16 more days to go until my first race. My personal goals are:

To run the race in under 40 minutes

To run the entire race, without walking or pausing or passing out.

To not get distracted by the other runners!

Anyways, well this week my goal is to run a 5k everyday to force my body to get used to what I am doing to it. I am 2 days in to this and I am doing it. Yesterday I had a rough time running the whole time, I am running on the hill setting on the treadmill to help me with hills, but today, I did it and I ran my 5k in 38 minutes. Anyhew I just wanted to keep you updated and will continue to do so and I can't wait to show you pictures of the actual event.
