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.
