Bliss

I think I'm possessed.  I'm not normally one of those life is grand type of gals; however, lately, I've been feeling fabulous!! 

FAMILY: My family rocks. I've been married 12 years and MOST of the time I still like my husband and children.  My husband is definitely on my nice list this week.  He gave me a whole day alone in my house and yesterday he took his mother shopping.  I'm really looking forward to spending the summer with my kids.  I love watching Payton help her Dad with ranch work.  She's quite handy and is getting that cow sense that Grandpa talks about all the time.  Grady, well, let's just say he keeps us all on our toes.  DISCLAIMER: I reserve the right to revoke all happy thoughts about my family at all times:)  Tomorrow they might drive me bat shit crazy again. 

HEALTH:  I'm 34 and in the best shape of my life.  I ran 13.1 fricken miles and finished feeling like a rock star.  I was really singing and laughing.  Even when I thought I was in great shape I couldn't run 2 miles without feeling like dieing.  I've learned to push my body past the limitations of my mind and I'm proud of me for that!  My family does NOT have good heart genes, and I'm determined to do my part to conquer that.  I CHOOSE to be healthy. 


PROSPERITY:  Shane and I are both blessed with jobs we love.  Although I was more than happy for the end of another school year, I'm already planning for the next one.  I ordered a new textbook series that I'm giddy with excitement about.  I'm a nerd like that.  I've also been blessed with the opportunity to be a Visalus distributor.  I'm using this summer to establish a business that will help my family with the "extras".  Because I feel so AMAZING on  Body by Vi , it is easy to share the products with others.  It also excites me to see my husband losing weight and getting excited about being healthy.  My team and I are going to ROCK it.  Ladies, I see a girls trip in our very near future!  The possibilities are really endless!!
Enough of my happy thoughts for today.  We will be spending the next week camping out (really, in a tent, not my LQ trailer) and helping with branding.  Quite possibly, I won't be so happy by Thursday.

This and that

Lot's going on in my world:
  • I finished another grad class. Half way there!!
  • Passed a class to get my conceal and carry permit without shooting any innocent bystanders, myself, or the instructor.
  • Today is my daughter's last day of 3rd grade.  Damn I'm getting old.
  • Next week is our last week of classes.  BRING on summer vaca!!
  • I recently signed on to be a Body by Vi promoter and I'm SUPER excited about it.  It takes a lot to convince me to take on such an endeavor so that should tell you how much I love their products.  I started the program myself about a month ago and am amazed at the noticeable difference in my energy levels.  I love being able to share my passion of living a healthy lifestyle with others!
  • Sunday I'm running a half marathon.  That's right...me who was just recently worried about getting through a 5k without collapsing is running (wogging) 13.1 miles.  Who'd a thought?  I'm pry not as ready as I should be but so be it.  I've read the rules of race etiquette so I don't get mean looks from the fast ppl, given up (cut back) my beloved Ultra, charged my iPod and Garmin, drank so much water my phone calls are being forwarded to the bathroom, and  packed outfits for every weather scenario.  So, I'm as ready as I'm going to be!  
 Have an amazing weekend everyone!!
