First Day of Training

So I was planning to do a triathalon this summer but it didn't work out because I moved in the middle of everything! So I'm gonna go ahead and start training for next year. Today was day one. I walked up the road a bit and found a mile track that I can use to train on. I ran, maybe, 1/4 of a mile and not all at once...but I did walk the full 3 miles. I think it was a good start considering I've eaten more than my share of fast food the last month since we don't have our own place yet. Yuck! I feel so GROSS! But I've decided to start my training and log it for all to see. It won't happen every day because I don't want to die but I will probably walk again tomorrow. I'm hoping to run the 1/4 mile straight with no stops. I know...I know...I'm so ambitious. Once day at a time, right? Well, so that does it for day one. Hopefully, the pictures will get better and I'll look better and less dead. Ta TA!

Update

I guess I should get around to updating this...I'm now a Utard. We moved to Salt Lake about 2 weeks ago and are working out living arrangements. I go for an interview in 15 minutes with Hollister Co. to earn some income while I build my No Go Errand Services biz. We are also looking at a house to buy which may come as a surprise but a lot of prayers have gone into this and we wouldn't do anything we didn't feel was right. I will post some pictures of it and our new car once I get around to it. Well, wish me good luck with my interview.

Writing

So I've started a writing blog. Check it out http://mydreamstories-janet.blogspot.com/ . My first story is not that good but just read it and let me know what you think.

Thanks!

The Good Life!

I decided the other day to stop wasting so much time on the computer, watching TV or doing puzzles. There is so much more I could do. So...I went and did some things I haven't done in a long time. I played in the mud puddles when it rained. I pulled weeds with Mom and tried to help Dad build a frame for the new front steps. I also took some pictures with my little digital of the beautiful day we had.

A flower in the backyard.

Bricks with a blue filter.

Over exposed bowl of rocks.

Daisies by a wicker tricycle.

Still life of the daisies I picked.

Beautiful Poppies...

Beautiful bees to make us honey!

A black Iris.

I'm so grateful for the creations the Lord gave us to show us He loves us!

Evidence

I took some pictures of Evidence...


Evidence that Levi does like to wear hats....all the time....

That Nathan does have some funky shoes....

That everyone makes faces when they're concentrating....

That you can make some interesting pictures in the house....

Or in the car....

Evidence that we got comfortable at Stuphen's house...

That everyone (even Nathan) has a tale...

That Susan doesn't really like the limelight...

Evidence that Stephen needs a haircut....truly...

That even Jackie can make faces....

Evidence of a cat....

That games were played....and someone was shot (Bang!)

Evidence of scrumtrulescent pie eaten...

Nathan really is 60% gay....

And Evidence that Stuphen welcomes us to the world as this sign was inside the front door...not outside.

I took some pictures of evidence....

Okay, Okay Fine!

Okay Fine! I'll at least leave a new post! So many people have told me to update my blog and I just haven't made any time to do it. I mostly haven't because I wanted to add some new pics but don't really have any yet. Anyway...Levi and I moved to Fallon back on Valentine's Day. What a delightful Valentine's. But we are here now until we figure out what is next. Levi is going to try substitute teaching and maybe even be able to teach math. We are currently working for my cousin James doing some electrical work. We are both officially electricians as we have both been shocked and our hands are falling apart (not to mention the rest of our bodies). It's physically demanding and all I do now is sleep and work. We are doing a big project and when that is over we will be done being electricians. Thank goodness! Other than that, life is dandy and we are healthy, happy, and well. I do have some easter pics and will add those later. I'm just short on time now! Thanks for caring!

Cruise, Cruise, Cruise

So, we went a-cruising in celebration of five years of marriage and a honeymoon we never had. And it was the best vacation I've ever had. I didn't have to do anything that I didn't want to do and it was expected for me to eat until I bulged (which I did)! I highly recommend a cruise to anyone. It was a 5 day cruise to San Diego, Catalina, and Ensenada, Mexico. We met some really nice people from all over, Texas, San Francisco, Minnesota, Auburn, CA, Scotland and of course all the employees are from other countries. We did some rock climbing, karioke, dancing, biking, eating, picture taking, shopping and some getting lost. You name it, we might have done it or thought about it. We didn't get sea-sick except I still feel like I'm rocking back and forth. We did lose each other the last night and couldn't find each other for about an hour. I was so sad and worried. But the silly thing is that we were both on the boat with nowhere to go; we just kept passing each other.
Our dinner table pals were the best ever! Regina and Enrique. We had some good laughs and I will never forget "Jim!" (little inside joke).
We also really enjoyed the time we spent with Levi's Uncle Ernie and Gary in Newport Beach. They were so kind to let us stay with them and show us around and drop us off and pick us up. Great guys!
The whole trip was a blast and well worth my time!
