What an Awesome Week!

What a week!  It seems as though as I have been playing catch up since we got home from vacation!!!  It's been a bit crazy, but a lot of fun! 

I started the week off strong with a decent run around the neighborhood Monday night.  It was a bit crazy since it was a new route I was experimenting with.  Note to self... It's not fun to run around giant deer carcasses.  And... Do not run all the way to Rte 50... I never realized that I would have to run down the center of the road just to be seen!  On a good note, I only went off roading through giant weeds once and I came home in one piece!

Tuesday night I hit Tae Kwon Do again for the first time in about 7 months.  Holy sore muscles Batman!  It was fun, but I will admit... I am not 20 anymore.  After "warm-ups" where they proceeded to kick my booty, we moved on to drills where you had to soar (yes, I said soar) over obstacles...  It wasn't long before I decided it was time to drop down a few lines (I joined the short people line) to ensure I would live to fight another day!

Then, I had the opportunity to work on some of the latest Workshops on the Go from Close to my Heart!  I cannot wait to share them with everyone during my catalog kick off party next Friday night!  I know many of you are on vacation during the actual shin dig, but do not fear!!!  I will make time to share them with you another day. Call me to schedule a time!

My fellow Girls on the Run RAGNAR Relay Teammate, Deb Cobb, joined me Saturday evening for an amazing race.  We ran the WO&D 10K!  It wasn't my best run, but it sure was fun!  We made some new friends (yes I talk to everyone!) and possibly managed to drum up some free samples for our relay team!



We ended the week on a great note!  We finally broke down and tried a new church.  I think this is going to be the beginning of a wonderful journey with my family.  It was a beautiful mass.  We were able to witness a new member of the community receive her baptism and had Muffin Sunday!  My girls were hoping for Do-nut Sunday, or Breakfast Taco Sunday... but I had to remind them this isn't San Antonio.  Maybe we could volunteer in the kitchen and show them how its done!  I'll have to think about that one...

It was a fun filled week all around!  Next week, I should be posting some artwork.  Follow my blog to see the latest!

Until then...

Home Sweet Home!

Well, I just returned home from Texas and I am glad to be back!  I had a blast at the CTMH Convention in Dallas followed by a very relaxing vacation at our timeshare in Bandera, TX with the Hassall family!  The entire clan hit the water park just about everyday!  We played basketball, tennis, went horseback riding, fishing, rode wagons and hit up Sea World in San Antonio!  It was busy, but relaxing all just the same :).  As much as I am glad to be home, we already miss our friends and family from TX!

Now that we have caught up on laundry and are nearly prepared for the week, I get to open the shipment from CTMH!!!  My convention items are in!  I cannot wait till I can sit down and work on my new projects in preparation for my Open House on August 3rd!  I love the latest in home decor and scrapbooking products!  Can't wait!!!
