GYM...Today Is The Day!

Today is the day. For the first time since I pulled my groin muscle about three years ago and had to get a shot in my butt because I'd gone into a full muscle spasm...I'm going to the gym. I always find some excuse not to go. Whether it's, I'll just try and get into shape while walking my dog an extra mile. I'll do some floor exercises while watching t.v. Or, my personal favorite...moving my elliptical machine from the garage up into my room. I then used it for about 2 weeks and now it just serves as a really good obstacle course to get out of my room.

So today is the day. I've been talking myself into it since yesterday. I want to feel good again. I want to stop having so many aches and pains. I want to find amazing places to go hiking with my hubby and be able to finish the hike without limping the whole way back down!

Wish me luck...

The Countdown-One More Day!

It's almost here...I'm so excited, I only have one more work day this year. We leave on Wednesday for our 10 year anniversary getaway! It's very rare that we ever get away. We have so many kids that we always have something going on. My friend Debbie is staying with us right now since she moved here from Chicago. It makes it a lot easier to get away...we won't have to find somewhere for the kids and our dog to stay.

Here is a picture of some of the places we are going to visit & stay:









How gorgeous is that...I CAN'T WAIT TILL WEDNESDAY! I'm taking three memory cards for my camera...hope it's enough!
