Happy Spring

You see these pictures of these beautiful moms with their strollers and perfect hair and makeup. This is reality right?!?

OMG!!! Are you kidding me?!?

I told myself that even once I became a mom I would make time to workout for myself, because I need the "me" time. Boy was I wrong! Becoming a mom might be the most rewarding thing I have ever experienced but also the hardest thing I am still trying to figure out.

I love the fact that I'm teaching at the local Y two days a week and still finding time to exercise in that capacity.

A few updates:
1. We finally moved into our house. No more living with the in-laws. After almost 10 months, it was definitely time to have our own space. Miss K has her own room finally!
2. I changed jobs within my department and finally have a "normal adult" schedule.
3. My husband also received a promotion to a more permanent schedule which will be a huge help on the home front.

As Easter approaches this weekend and we are reminded of who died on the cross for our sins to be forgiven, I have taken extra time to thank Him for all of the great things he has provided for me and my family this year.
- A beautiful daughter
- A brand new home
- A job change for me, and a more permanent position for my better half.

I can honestly say that I have the world now, and have everything I will ever need. Would I love to make more money and have less taxes take out - of course! But who wouldn't. Would I love to win the lottery and eliminate some debt, have knowledge that I could go on vacation EVERY year without hesitation, ABSOLUTELY!

But I'm realistic. Money doesn't make you happy. But being around the people you love, and knowing what you have to be thankful for is the best gift in the world.

Happy Easter everyone.

P.S. I would like to start blogging about my classes and workouts, but we will see how that goes. Stay tuned.

I've Got This

I've been silent for quite some time from this blog. At times I don't always know what to say and don't always want to have negative things going on to write about. However, at the same time I am so tired of having to be fake and being "OK" all the time. I'm not perfect, and I'm doing better. Some days are better than others and some days are even great. I'm so happy at where I am at these days and I am feeling so accomplished for so many things. At the same time, there are days where I feel like I'm thrown back and have to face everything head on all over again. I'm learning that my former extended family doesn't belong to me any more, especially now that there is another girl in A's life. I need to allow for her and A and his family to start their own memories and start developing whatever relationship is going to happen. I absolutely adore them and will always care about them. Seeing pictures of the lake, and the pontoon makes me m...

Catching up

It's been awhile since my last post but life has seen to be keeping me busy. The holidays were fine as usual and I was able to celebrate with a few friends. I still can't remember to write 2016 on my checks. I'm getting into the groove of teaching 3 classes a week at Vital Fit Club, which Racquetball Plus. My life has literally come in full circle. Because of how everything ended in my last communications position I've decided to look at new career options.  My self-esteem is so low on being able to complete anything correctly I just need to find my new niche. Every year in January I always ask myself why I live here in Minnesota, where winter is half the year!?! Oh well. Someday I will live in a warm state. If I try some spiralizing I will post pictures. Hope everyone has a great week and take a few minutes each day to reflect, center your body, and take a few relaxing breaths. 🎎

I wonder if.....

I wonder what my life would be like if I'd never met him. I wonder if my thoughts about myself and the world would have changed if.i had only been stronger. I wonder why life turned out this way. Why was I the one with the cheating backstabbing husband. I want to move on and find a way to see the good. But putting on the face every morning is becoming exhausting. Stop living in the past I was told. If you do then you won't be happy. However until the pain and betrayals gone I fear this is my life. Looking at him makes me ill.  Hearing his voice curdels my stomach and knowing I created a second human with him only makes it worse. He met someone - someone who he thinks it's going to be serious with. Good for him. Maybe I'm upset that we hadn't resolved all our issues and now it's about him and becoming a better person for himself and K, and the new girl. He said, we obviously weren't meant to be together then why did you ask me to marry you. People say, t...
