50 pounds. Just gotta take it in and celebrate it. I feel like this past year I’ve done quite a bit of “success celebrations”! Life isn’t always rosy, but I feel very grateful to be in my skin, in my shoes, and loving my life. We are settling in to our new home quite nicely…

It has been a crazy couple of weeks getting settled and unpacked!! Went for an icy bike ride with the kiddos today and am gearing up for working out in the morning bootcamp style with my mom and sister! Over the past week or so I’ve noticed some astonishing differences being back in my hometown…

Now that we have our internet up and the house is starting to look like a home as the cardboard sea subsides…..I had to take a moment to share our See You Laters and our Welcome Backs! Jayde was my neighbor in Hawaii – STRONG CHICKS!! So much fun to workout one last time where…

Well the packers have come and packed up most all of the downstairs and will finish the entire house tomorrow!!! It is so amazing to me how fast they get it all done! Jake doesn’t really understand why all the stuff is being put on the truck except that “it’s going to Grandma and Grandpa’s…

So I have a, shall we say, love/rage relationship with the commissary. Here on the island it is by far the most economical place to shop. It does have its drawbacks though: EVERYONE and their mother is there on the same day since department of defense employees all get paid ON THE SAME DAY. The…

On this morning’s run I did my usual 3.5 mile loop and coming back under the highway, we ran into this: I’m pushing my 70+ lbs of kids and stroller and the sprinklers were on!!!! It was so fun, and I was reminded of why I love doing this. I run to feel good. Forget…
