I suppose that’s enough pictures for now!

Today, I have nothing to do. That makes me so happy. It’s snowing super hard in Pittsburgh right now and my little sister is really sick. I plan on hanging out with her and my brother all day and then heading into church tonight. Sounds like a perfect day to me!

What are you up to today?

Well … it turns out I’m short. Or Hannah is just growing really fast.

Anyways… I just wanted to post about what’s going on in my life lately. I feel like I haven’t done that in forever!

  • Still teaching Spinning, still loving it. I’m currently teaching 3 classes a week at two different branches of local YMCA’s.
  • I’m training for a 5k open water swim (in August), a run-swim-run race (also in August), and a half marathon (in September). It feels good to have some “goals” to train towards.
  • My toe is doing great but I’ve actually been having some other health problems related to digestion. I’ll go into more detail when I know more, but my doctor currently has me on a gluten and lactose free diet. Sad times for this cereal lover.
  • I can’t believe classes start up again next month. I actually forgot what I scheduled..
  • I’ve been cooking and baking (when I feel like it, hehe) a bit and I have a great rosemary chicken recipe to share.

I’ve also been cleaning up after Lola. She got into the garbage on Sunday…

I like to creep on my brother and his fiance when they take pictures.

Teaching Spinning

So yeah, other than the above mentioned things, I’m just enjoying life and feeling really blessed. 🙂
