I forgot to mention a couple things last night!
6. I tried that new gym last Saturday. Loved it. A little bit of a hike from my house (about 8 miles but with traffic takes a good 20ish minutes.....if I go from work it's a shorter drive), but totally worth it for all the machines (probably 30 universal machines, 15 treadmills, 5 or 6 stairmasters and then probably another 10 ellipticals) PLUS all the classes are included (pilates, yoga [I did this class on Monday for an hour and had before forgotten how difficult yoga is for such a slow moving activity - I quickly remembered!], iron yoga, SPINNING!, zumba, hip hop), PLUS a sauna..........all for $20/ month. Yup. $20.
7. The weather this week in Columbus has been ridiculously nice. This time last year we were in the middle of a 3-event week (2/2-2/4, 2/4-2/7, 2/7-2/9), taking us up through event 17, and to date we've only had TEN. Amazing, and I LOVE IT. It has been so nice, in fact, that Wednesday evening, I got home from work, changed into SHORTS & a TSHIRT and ran outside. On February 1. Amazing.
8. Thursday, I was finally able to put back on my "regular sized" pants and not feel like I was being suffocated. For a couple of months now I've been in that uncomfortable weight range of being too big for my "normal" (still too big for my liking) pants and having to move up to the NEXT size, which, although a little big, were my only option since my normal pants weren't fitting. No more. Now moving back in the right direction. I think having the plague last week helped (ha), but for the most part, the change is coming back from my eating habits. Not eating out breakfast & lunch, or eating a good breakfast but skipping lunch which caused me to eat the entire house upon coming home.........it's all about balance people.
9. Got the "save the date" for Chris and mine's TENTH HS REUNION on Tuesday. It's July 28. Chris insists we're not going; we'll see. If we don't go, does that make time start going SLOWER!?!?!?!?

This Time A Year Ago...
We were in the Miami airport, waiting to board our final plane to Jamaica. Well, I guess it would've been yesterday (Monday), but technically the 1st. Whatever. We have now been married for a year and 2 days. No longer newlyweds. Just another "old married couple." But what a year (and 2 days) it has been.
We've been married over a year already?!? Crazy. Crazy how much has changed in the last year, but yet so much has stayed the same. I live in a different city (STATE), have a different job, have different living arrangements (I live with a BOY....which has its perks, some days more than others!), and am now further from my family than I ever have been. BUT - Chris and I are still together....amazingly enough, it must seem to some....I still have the same super supportive family, my Cowboys have yet another promising season ahead, and the seasons keep changing. Like clockwork, my friends have gone back to school (to teach AND learn), and the leaves are on the cusp of turning again.
Chris and I went to Newark, OH this weekend - a small town about 30 minutes away, and had absolutely no plans. We had a really nice suite - we just relaxed, and swam in the hotel pool (alternating with the amaaaaazing hot tub), and had a cheap dinner at Pizza Hut. We just enjoyed each others' company....watched some movies on TNT, watched a little preseason football. Did absolutely NOTHING....which felt great. No laundry waiting to be done, no kitchen to be cleaned. Just talking....talking about this last year and what we've been through. We've made a lot of great memories this year....not always good, but at the end of the day, things we've learned from. Do I miss my family? Every single day. But I still think it's been the best thing that we've lived so far away. We have no one to depend on but each other. "Never go to bed mad"???? Um, no. We learned a long time ago that that rule doesn't apply to us, and probably saved one or both of us from being killed this year (half joking there).
So much more to say....but Chris just barbecued some chicken on the grill, and who knows how many more times I'll get that before it gets too cold??!?? It's chow time!
