What’s happening

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

Hannah’s on the right, I’m on the left.

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.

Pictures of what’s happening:

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. 🙂

Hello! I found more time to blog. Score.

I got a cute text from Jimmy on Tuesday morning and it made me smile so big. Don’t you love text messages like that?!

Jimmy’s birthday was on Saturday and I bought us tickets to the Pirates game. We had a blast! We started the evening just walking around Pittsburgh aimlessly, then we had dinner at Hyde Park (a steak house on the North Shore), and finished the night watching the Pirates and fireworks. It was such a lovely evening with a lovely boy. 🙂

Sunday was a blast as well. It was 90* in Pittsburgh, so after church my family + Jimmy and his brother hopped in our pool. We played “silent polo” which is Marco Polo without talking! We also played with Nick & Jimmy’s hair while a thunderstorm rolled in.After sufficient hair-playing we headed out to eat and then back to church. Perfect day!

I was drinking from my water bottle the other day and thinking that the slogan on it was so right…Amen? Amen!
