Let the training begin

I recently decided that I want to run a 5K this summer. I have found a program that I downloaded into my i-phone that will assist me. It is a 40 minute session 3 times a week for 8 weeks. The more weeks that go by the more running less walking. I started the first week today. It felt pretty good to be running. I am sure to most standards it may not be running because it surly is not fast but for me it is running and it feels fast LOL. I will keep you all updated :)

Big day for me!!

Today I am proud to announce that I have been smoke free for 100 days!!! I am so proud of myself!! It has not been easy but it does get easier every day. I have had great support from family and friends and I want to Thank them for that!

To celebrate Shaun and I are going to the Bears game tonight. It is one of his Christmas gifts. It is going to be COLD but it will be fun so I am excited to go.

Thanksgiving in Michigan

One week ago today Shaun and I came home from a long weekend in Traverse City. We had a great time seeing family and friends and eating some great food!!! We had T-giving dinner first with Shaun's family and then several hours later at my Dad's. After dinner #2 we went to my G&G Raneys to visit with that side of the family. I can not believe how much we fit in that day. We also had Christmas with Skyy because she will be in Colorado with her Mom over the Holidays. She really enjoyed everything we got her and played with her new baby ALL weekend! Black Friday Di, Kayla and I got up way to early and hit the stores and found some great deals. It was a lot of fun hanging out with them that morning. One last fun thing I did was a Gingerbread house with Skyy and Alyssa. This was my first time and it was messy but a lot of fun. I think Skyy really enjoyed it as well. Skyy was with us almost the whole weekend and it was wonderful. She is so smart and so good when I watch her. She did say one thing that completely took me by surprise. We were in the car on the way to My Grandparents and out of nowhere she says "Aunt Jen, I get sad and depressed sometimes but never when I am with you because you make me so happy" How cute is that! This coming from a 4 year old!! I really wish I could see her more than I do. Here are a few pictures from the weekend.

Crop of a Lifetime!

2 weeks ago I met with 70 of my closest friends at the Double Tree hotel in Novi Michigan for a fun filled girls only weekend. Nothing better than catching up with old friends and meeting new all while you are scrapbooking. I was able to get about 12 pages done and that is pretty good for me :) Here is a group picture of all of us. I can't wait until next year!!!

My "W Bus" girls! You all ROCK! Love ya!!!It's all about Jen :) There were 6 of us there!

Obama Rally

Tuesday night after I got out of work Shaun and I headed downtown for the Obama Rally. It was absolutely AMAZING!!! When he was announced the winner the roar from the crowd was deafening and just, WOW!! There were over 200,000 people in Grant Park and the surrounding area and it was peaceful in the meaning that there was no fighting or crowd problems. Very different from what I experienced on July 3rd when we were down there for the fireworks. Obama's speech was everything that it needed to be and so much more. I am so happy that I was there for this event that was history in the making! Here are a couple shots that turned out OK.

Remembering Susan

One week ago I got the sad phone call from Christina that our beloved Susan had passed away. Sunday night, November 2nd she had a heart attack and died with her husband at her side. Susan was one of the most amazing women I have ever met. When I moved to Chicago she helped me in so many ways and I will forever be thankful. She was only 34 years old when she died but she lived those few to many years to the fullest. She married a wonderful man named Chris and they have the most amazing little boy named Evan who is just as spunky and fun as his Mom. I will be sad for a very long time with the loss of my dear friend but Susan would want me to move on and remember the fun times I had with her so I will do my best to do that! I love you Susan and I miss you terribly!!!
