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.

Quick and Easy Appetizers

 Last Sunday was a bitter cold one with lots of football on TV. I'm a sucker for a day filled with snacking! Give me a table full of appetizers and I'll set. This was how I was brought up. At holiday gatherings we always had a table FULL of little snacks. Most of the time we were all filled up on apps before dinner was served. It was one of those days on Sunday with the final championship games on TV. I wanted to make it a special day but did not want to be bent over the stove all day cooking. Hmmmm....I looked in the fridge and saw asparagus that needed to be used. I remembered I had a package of bacon in the freezer too. Perfect! Bacon wrapped asparagus. It turned out amazing. 1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees 2. Cut the ends off the asparagus 3. Lightly coat the asparagus with olive oil (I put mine in a bag and then drizzled the olive oil and mixed it up. 4. Sprinkle asparagus spears with freshly ground pepper. 5. Divide the amount of asparagus spears in 4. Wrap a bun...

USHL and NAHL Faceoff

This is my first story- and one of three about sports. Enjoy...... USHL & NAHL Face-off Ice, snow, and blustering winds don’t keep these fans away from a hockey game. SUVs, trucks, and mini-vans of all sorts fill the parking lot. A line of 50 people stretches from the ticket window out to the sidewalk. It’s game time at the Coliseum, for the Fargo-Moorhead Jets. But the Force is coming into town, and plans to heat things up. Hockey isn’t something new to the Fargo-Moorhead area. From little mites to hockey elites, this town is filled with hockey. Currently, Fargo is the host to the North American Hockey League team known as the Fargo-Moorhead Jets. With the new Urban Plains facility planning to open its doors for the 2008 season, many people worry the Jets are going to be grounded. The Urban Plains Facility will be the home to the Force, a United States Hockey team elite tier 1 team, will likely blockade the hopes of the Jets continuing next season. T...
