Good morning friends

As I have mentioned before that I am doing the team in training.  I have my website so here it is:

 Please help me support this wonderful organization.  Thank you all in advance.

Sorry I don't have anything else to say and I have no idea how to change my font back...lol. Have a wonderful day everyone.

Hello, are you there?

I couldn't come up with a post yesterday.  I just didn't have anything to put down on the screen.  Last night I got to talk to one of my best friends from college and it was great.  I hadn't talk to her in forever and she found me on facebook.  I love reconnecting.  Life takes a lot of twists and turns and it's nice to go back every once in a while.

Emily is doing great.  She is growing up so fast.  Her hair is getting so long and just hangs in her face.  She doesn't leave it pulled back a lot of the time so it's always in her eyes.  She has got the greatest little laugh.  It's hard not to laugh with her.  She knows who she is. You ask her where is Emily and she points to herself.  She still hasn't walked on her own more than 2 steps but she will when she is ready.  I love her hugs and kisses.  I love my munchkin.

I have been running again.  Yay!  I hate being injured and not being able to do it.  I'm not running the distances that I was but I also need new shoes.  Running in old shoes can cause injury and since that may have been part of the tendonitis that I had I am taking it easy until I get new ones.  Hopefully when I get paid next weekend.  Have a great day friends and family!

I'm really doing this

So on Saturday I did it.  I signed up for Team in Training without even really thinking twice.  It's such a great cause and opportunity.  Do I think the fund raising is a daunting task?  Yes.  I will be asking for you all to help once I have everything I need in place.    So what is Team in Training.  It is a program centered around the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  We fund raise and 75% of what we raise goes to LLS to do research in finding a cure for blood born cancers.  Can you imagine finding a cure for cancer?  You can help in that.  The other 25% goes towards my travel and race costs.  You maybe saying travel?  Travel where?  I will be doing the San Diego Rock N Roll Half Marathon on June 6th.  The amount I need to raise is $2900.  That is a lot I know but hopefully with everyone's help I will get there.  I am excited and nervous.  So please help me reach my goal.  All I really need is 100 people to donate $30.  I will have a website up in a few days where you can donate online.  Thanks so much in advance!

Hello friend!

Oh how I have missed you.  I have looked forward to your return all week.  Monday was rough because you were so far away. I am so happy you are here.  I know I work until 8:30 but I know once I hit those doors I get  to spend the next couple of days with my wonderful husband and beautiful daughter doing the things we want to do.  Oh Friday you are a great friend indeed.

I need to be a better blogger.

The truth of the matter is I don't know what to say. The 100's of things I find interesting in a day most likely won't interest you. Hmmmm. Do you care that I have a running problem? If so my problem is I have had an injury and can't run. This weekend I get to run. So fingers crossed there will be no pain.

The sunrise this morning was absolutely gorgeous. I got to share that with Emily as I drove her to the babysitters house. I don't think she was interested but I think she said "pretty". I love that munchkin. She has started saying "no" to everything you ask her. She only says it though when you say something in the form of a question so I think she understands a little. I know I shouldn't laugh when she says it but it's just so funny and cute. That is one thing you really have to watch as a parent. You don't want them to think certain behavior is OK but when they do it it is so funny and you laugh. So they do it again. Oh well. We will figure it all out.

Saturday I am going to an informational meeting for the LLS Team in Training program. They help prepare you for marathons, half marathons and such while you fund raise for them. They provide you with he tools for fundraising, a coach and what you raise helps pay travel, race fees and event fees. A win win situation. I am hoping to do it. The race is between the Louisville Derby Half or the San Diego Rock 'n' Roll Half. You can imagine which I would like to do but it depends on the money amount that I would have to raise. I guess we will see how it pans out.

All right I guess I am finished with my ramble. I hope you all have a wonderful day. Or maybe I am just talking to myself and no one really reads this anyway. Well if that's the case Noel have a great day.

December

Well we are coming up on our 2nd Christmas with Emily. I can't believe it's already here. She is doing well now after a string of being sick. She is getting in some new teeth and once they are all through that will make 7! At her last weigh in she was 23 lbs 8 oz and 30 1/2 inches long. She is growing up so fast. She babbles a lot. She walks around the furniture but hasn't let go yet. A couple of times she has stood still not holding on to anything but I don't think she even noticed. I have been truly bless with a wonderful husband a daughter. I am so thankful. Thank You God!

Emily is 1

I'm a week behind in this post but that is the way it goes. Emily's 1st birthday party was a success. She was a cute Tinkerbell and seemed to enjoy the presents. When it came time for the cake she was a little timid about it at first and then went to town. So much so she got chocked on the cake and that was the end of that. She has loved playing with her new toys. At her check up she weighed 24 pounds and measured in at 30 inches long. She is on whole milk now and eating solids. She loves everything so far. I think her top teeth maybe coming through soon. She has the rosy cheeks and has had a low fever. She also pulls on her hair and ears. I hope this passes soon and it is just teething. I don't want my little girl sick!
