Blake's working 5-10 tonight, so I'm going to meet up with my friend Addie and jog/WALK a few miles after work. The hubs has been so good about going to the gym (4 days a week at 5:30am!!!), and it's really starting to show! It's time for me to get my butt in gear. I have no plans to get up at 5:30 in the morning, but since my schedule is a lot more set than his I'll be attempting to get my excercise in the evenings. I'm starting slow- I joined SparkPeople, and my goal is 10 min of cardio per day - longer than that 2 days a week and drinking 64 oz of water each day. We'll see how it goes.

I like winter when it's just like it is now. The roads are clear, bt there's still snow on the ground making everything look clean and bright as opposed to drab and bleary. And, the sun is shining, with no bitter wind.

Still ready for summer though!!!!

Today I love: Strawberry jam on toast
Today I miss: Kristina- because I bet she'd walk with me if I asked her. Ok, now I'm going to go cry. Stupid Florida.

SNOW!

Well, the weatherman predicted snow, and he was right. We got about 8 inches! I woke up about 6:40 this morning to my wonderful husband shoveling snow and took pity on him and made coffee and breakfast- eggs and ham and toast instead of the normal cereal and no coffee. I called the other girl in my dept and we decided to work from home for the morning. I'm glad I waited- I came in at 12:15 and while the main roads are ok, the road to get there from my house is NOT. I went about 10 miles and hour though and made it to work safe. Blake gets off work at the same time as I do which means we all get to play in the snow tonight! Snow and hot cocoa and my husband and puppies, ah this is the life. AND I think I'm going to try to make a pineapple upside down cake tonight.

Today I love: That I have a husband that gets up early to shovel the snow so my car can get out of the drive.

Weekend

Back to work after a great weekend! Friday night we treated ourselves to a couple of steaks, then slept in on Saturday. Then we drove to Jefferson City- Carrie's birthday was the 28th and my Mom's is today, so we had some great family time. Madera was sick, but still a little cuddlebug, and we watched Dumbo together and played Barbies:) I can't wait till this summer when we get to have her for the weekend- we're going to take her to the zoo!

Sunday night Blake and I sat down and worked on budget stuff- with me having a new job and him starting school in the fall we needed to rework everything, and I think we both feel better about having done that and knowing exactly where we stand with everything. Now we just have to figure out which school and then figure out school loans.

After that we got sushi and watched Lord of the Rings. I love being married to Blake!!!
