I've been running (3x week) and going to Zumba (1-2x week) for about 8 weeks now and tracking what I eat on myfitnesspal.com. I'm not losing weight super fast (12 lbs so far), but I'm doing things that I *know* are healthier for my body and that makes me feel awesome! My first 5k is on October 8th and I'm really excited!
This guy starts "school" back tomorrow (he attends a Parents' Morning Out playschool). I can't explain to you in written form exactly how excited I am.
Aah, the t-shirt quilt- project 4 years in the making. Way back before I even had a sewing machine, I had all of these great intentions of making one- how hard could it be? Cut squares, sew them back together. Now that I'm a bit more versed in quilt making, I understand what an undertaking this is- an expensive one! I plan to take on a few of these for some sorority sisters and I have already bought 2 bolts of FusiKnit which put a nice dent in my wallet. So far I'm loving it and I had so many fun memories come back to me while cutting these- college was so fun! Since I took this picture I've started sewing 2" sashing strips to the rows- slowly but surely it's coming along!
I'm a 27 year old wife, mother, sister and friend who by some freak chance met her best friend and perfect counterpoint in 10th grade and married him 7 years later. We were blessed with an hilarious and super busy son, Noah in 2009 and are currently in the process of adopting our second child. I am a teacher- turned stay-at-home mom- turned part time Director of Children's Music at a large Presbyterian church. I love my Lord, who always provides and is ALWAYS faithful, music (and teach it!), sewing, other random crafts, my family, decorating (and re-decorating) my house, kraft macaroni and cheese and Martha Stewart. God has big plans for this new life we've started. I am the luckiest.
