Spring 2011 Update

So...the fitness and nutrition blog is finished for 2011. I'm a little sad because I really enjoy doing it, but at the same time I've got more time in my schedule to study each day.

Updates for this spring:
  • Currently, we're in the thick of a semester. I'm taking Anatomy and Physiology II, Microorganisms and Disease, and Neuroanatomy and the associated labs. I have amazing instructors. Jay is finishing up his basics. Finals are the second week of May. Three more weeks of class and then here we go.
  • We took a spring break trip to White Sands, Aguirre Springs for hiking, and Ruidoso. Had a blast.
  • Jay's mom visited during spring break. It was so nice having her. The kids got new shoes and new clothes, Kimber got her first pedicure, we all went to see Rango, we ate out a couple of times...I'd forgotten what it's like to eat out!
  • We sold Jay's truck, Darlene...yeah!! We bought a used Honda Civic that we named Sally Forth. Love her....I give her a little kiss every time we're at the pump these days.

  • Jet and Kimber all wrapped up on Valentine's Day

    ...and the drawing he created at school the next day.

My classes aren't offered until the fall, so I'm taking a summer to just be mommy. That used to be a daydream for me....to be able to spend a summer with our children. So excited, I need it and so do the kids. This fall will be demanding, so I'm going to get in some major mommy time while I can.

I haven't figured out which projects will make the final cut for this summer, but the ones in the bucket right now include:
  • 8K in August to celebrate my birthday
  • Operation: No More Caffeine Addiction. I need to give it up, but I love it so...muscle cramps when exercising are telling me that I'm ingesting too much. Breaking caffeine addiction is no joke, and would probably take about 3 weeks total.
  • Big Bend, Carlsbad Caverns, or Bisbee...we'll see about our financial aid and if its in the cards
