Hot Run!

I just had a great workout... if I could only do it everyday! It is so hot outside but I felt motivated today to play with my new birthday toy. I loved it. I set my goal of 500 calories and the ipod tells you every 50 calories that you just burned. It makes you want to keep going and it is super easy. It will track miles, time calories and pace. I did 5.5 miles today. I am in love with it. I can get online and track my progress as well as compete with people. This was a great toy. As long as I keep motivated, I might just get that hot body I've always wanted!

My birthday

So it was my 28th yesterday. Wow! It seems so crazy that I feel younger than ever. Ten years ago I thought people who were this age were so old. Now I wonder if people who are ten years younger than me look at me as being old? I truly feel so young, now that I am begining my new life with my husband.


My parents sent me flowers at work, which were so sweet that I cried when I got them. My husband bought me flowers too. I love flowers! My in laws came over for some burgers, dogs and cake (chocolate ice cream cake.....yuck... poor Ty he tried). They each gave me a gift that went with eachother's gift. Janet and Bob (parents in-law) gave me an ipod, so cool I love it. Drew (brother in law) gave me this ipod counter that goes into a running shoe. Basically you have to have a pair of Nike shoes that inserts into the bottom of the shoe and it will count your calories, miles, and time while you walk/ run. It is really neat. It will connect to the ipod and a voice will come on to let you know your progress. I can't wait to go running. So of course I needed the shoes, so Ty got me the pair of shoes to go with it.


Overall I had a good birthday. I missed my family terribly, but I still had people I love around me. I just hope that when 30 comes around I will be able to feel as young as I do today....we'll see.

Our 1st summer weekend

Finally it feels like summer. We spent the weekend hanging out with friends and cleaning our pool. Friday night we had couple of friends over to grill hot dogs, and play corn hole. I don't know them very well, but Tyler seems to be getting along with his new found friend Josh. He lives down the street from us and bought the house across the street. They are constantly doing weird things together, like scraping metal... who does that for fun? They also have strange hobbies like collecting cans so they can go recycle them. I seriously think they are doing it for the pennies! So if I can't ever find Tyler, I know exactly were he is at. Anyways ... Josh and Kelly, his girlfriend, are very sweet and seem like good people. I am sure I'll get to know them better over the summer.

Saturday I attempted to go running in the middle of the hot day and I think I nearly passed out. I don't know if it was the best idea, but I felt good afterwards. Later we went to his friend's (Ciara) bridal shower. I am a loser and went to bed early, while Ty hung out with his buddies.

We played it low key today and sat out by our pool. It still needs cleaning, but it was still nice to just relax together and be lazy with one another! The poor boys, Chance and Harley, wanted to get in the pool but were too chicken to jump. We like to tease them to get in, but I have no clue how we would get them out it they actually would jump in.

It is bed time and I have to try to get ready for another work week. I am 28 years old this week, and it is a bit scary to hear the number, but I totally don't I feel it. I am loving my life so much that I don't have time to worry about how old I am getting. Okay, have to check laundry and hit the sack, night!
