Am I crazy....I might very well be!

So for those that know me you know I hate to run unless something is chasing me. I'm not one for exercise....I never really have been. I hated track....why would I run for no reason? I never got that "high" that people get when they run! Well my friends....I'm going to train and try to do a half marathon! I'm crazy I know, but I'm actually stoked to try. I have been looking for motivation to start exercising and get rid of the last of my baby weight. My sister in law Ryan has helped provide some of this motivation. She invited me to participate in the Walt Disney World Princess 1/2 marathon in February.....so here's the deal starting tomorrow I'm going to start training. Starting slowly....very slowly....I think it is a program I can stick to and I'm excited to set a goal and try to accomplish it! I'm following an 8 week pre training program followed by a 6 week 5K training program, followed by a 12 week training program for the actual half marathon. Ben and I agreed that if I stick to the first 8 weeks I can register for the Marathon. I figure investing the money will help keep motivated! So here's to making a decision to change. I'm thinking Florida in February sounds pretty dang nice...even if I'm running 13.1 miles! I'll keep everyone posted on my progress.

5 Year Anniversary

July 9th was my 5 year anniversary! I can't believe 5 years have passed! Life sure is crazy but wonderful. I'm so thankful to be married to my best friend. To celebrate, Ben and I left Jace with my mom =( and headed to Pocatello to the Black Swan Inn. I'm not sad we left him with my mom...I was just nervous to leave him overnight with someone other than Ben. It turned out wonderful though and if I would have planned ahead, I would have probably spent 2 nights. We went out to dinner at Red Lobster (my favorite). As a gift Ben got us couples dance lessons that start in August! I'm really excited...we are going to learn ballroom and swing! I got him a new wedding ring since he lost his when he lost all of his weight! It slipped off somewhere! Here are some pictures of our room....If you haven't been to the Black Swan I suggest you go! It is a lovely escape and just what we needed to get back on track! We stayed in the Enchanted Forest Room.

Jump Jump Jumparoo!

I love craigslist! We got Jace a slightly used Jumparoo for $30! Way better than the $90 that a new one goes for in the store! After getting it all cleaned up last night, we put him in it this morning for the first time. I think we may have found his new favorite toy! It was fun to see him in it!

Focused on the toys

I think he likes it!
