Wow!!! Time for an update!

Well… Time sure does fly when… well life happens!

Ok… first off… to the one that everyone REALLY cares about… Lil’man! (hehe)

Ethen is GREAT! This school year is almost over, I can hardly believe it! It’s time to start planning what to do this summer. Good thing we have a membership to the Springs Preserve and can go ANY TIME WE WANT! They have hiking trails there too! Fun stuff… anyways… back to Ethen!

As you all know he’s been in Karate for almost a year now and is progressing FANTASTICALLY! On March 26th he tested for his yellow belt! He did a phenomenal job and in the end was awarded his yellow belt! So Very proud of him!

Here’s a picture of Ethen doing his forms during testing! He’s one of the loudest in class when they do the kiap (AYAH!!!)

DSCF2702Ethen was soooo excited to get his yellow belt (can’t you see the excitement just being emulated on this sweet little face?)

JONATHON!!!

He is working so unbelievably hard. Working still for Sahara Air with business picking up because of warmer weather (thankfully) and also teaching at College of Southern Nevada. Not to mention TAKING classes at CSN! He’s quite the busy body! Thankfully he will only be teaching the fall and spring semesters so when the REALLY busy season (uh… that would be summer. For those that don’t know and have lived under a rock their whole life, Vegas gets up to about 120 degrees in the summer).

ME!!!

Would you believe it if I told you that I am going to run a 5k race? Well I AM!!! I’m so excited about this! For the past few months I have started changing my life. I’m exercising more and trying to eat cleaner! Hard work has paid off and I’ve lost 13 pounds so far! A few weeks ago I decided it was time to start running again. So I have signed up for the Susan G. Komen race for the cure! The race is May 7th so that gives me about a month to get ready for it! I’ve been using the Couch to 5k running program to help me get back into running again. I seriously haven’t ran since BEFORE I left the Marines; probably 2 1/2 years! So excited!
