Pilates kicked my butt!!

I am so sore in so many places! But it is a good sore. I didn’t think that I would be this bad but I guess I am. Pilates kicked my butt!! :) My toes, my calves, my hamstrings, my butt, my tummy, my shoulders and my arms are all yelling at me today but its okay because I know that when I’m done this class I’m going to be soooo much better off! Can’t wait :) Since it was a little tough on me I’m going to try to do a few things this week and weekend before my next class. I’m going to:



Practice my abdominal breathing
Practice my bridge
Practice my side bridge and leg lifts
I’m going to drink way more water
And I’m going to do lots of stretching to try and loosen up my muscles (especially my hamstrings)


Hopefully by this time next week I won’t be near as sore!!

So many wonderful things going on!

Some good things have happened since my last post!!

Josh got a call last week saying that he passed his interview and that he will be going on to the next step!! We are seriously so excited :) He is booked for his psychological evaluation today and then some time after that is the lie detector test, a home visit, a meeting with the psychologist and a full physical!! It is so real and so close right now that we are just overjoyed!! Can't wait for the final results and hopefully in a couple of months he will be starting the training!

I've been spending a lot of time cleaning and doing laundry lately, it just never seems to end!! But I know that the house needs to be clean so that when they call and say they want to do a home visit then I don't have to scramble to get things clean and ready. It seems that the house is always the worst after holidays. But I guess I will keep on going, then I can reward myself with some more scrapbooking time! I have spent some time, just have no photos to share because the project is a secret! hehe


My cell phone plan is up now and I desperately needed a new phone!! I had to charge my phone every night after work because it doesn't hold a charge anymore!! So I decided to go out on a limb and get the coolest phone I can get instead of my usual boring phones that only make calls and send texts. I got an iPhone 4!! So excited for when it comes in, can't wait to play with all the features!!


This past Saturday I spent a couple hours getting ready and then me and mom met Kinsey Holt down in the riverbottom to take some bridal photos!! She wanted to get one bridal shoot done and I've always wanted to do a 'trash the dress'/'high fashion' photo shoot of me in my dress!!! And since I can actually fit into my dress now, not like a year ago I said I would love to do it!! My oh my was it ever cold thought!! -20 outside, and with a little bit of a wind chill!! I could barely feel my fingers and elbows after the photo shoot but it was totally worth it :) Here is one picture that she had finished with, just to give us a sneak peek, and here is one of the pictures that my mom took while Kinsey was shooting too.  I know that there are going to be so many more photos that are amazing! I just can't thank her enough for doing this for me! And on the plus side it crosses one more thing off of my 101 in 1001 list - have professional photos taken.




We did also take photos the past two weekends! Here are #2 and #3 of my 52 photo challenge.
Even though this doesn't look like a self portrait....it is, we had Sarah hold the camera but this new camera has a 2 person self portrait timer feature where it doesn't take the picture until it is looking at 2 people!
I need to be more creative, but the last photo was an after thought as we were getting into bed! Oh well, next week I guess!

That's all for now :)

Days until the end of my 101 things in 1001 days!
