The Road to Mudderella Pre-Picture

To help document my journey to Mudderella, fitness, and weight loss - I am posting a post picture of myself, and plan to post some more pictures throughout my journey.

(Ignore the beds - that would be my daughters idea of made beds, and it was the only room I could get a good picture in.)

Mud, Princesses, and More

So, I did something today that I have wanted to do for a couple of years. I signed up to participate in Mudderella Colorado 2015 - Mudderella is an opportunity for women to unite and share their strength, laughter and tears over a 5-7 mile mud obstacle course.



So Why, would I do something like that?
To help me lose the last 20-25 pounds I would like to lose.
To do something that help motivate me to get into shape.
To do something new.
To do something with some fun ladies, that I know, and meet some new ladies.
I have wanted to do a Color Run, Fun Run, or something like that for a coupe of years.
To raise money for Futures Without Violence - Futures Without Violence (FUTURES) is a leading national nonprofit and social change organization working to end and prevent dating and domestic violence, child abuse, and sexual assault by providing resources and support for victims and survivors, and raising awareness through educational programs all throughout the country. 



I am going to keep track of my training progress, and I will let you know how the race goes on Aug. 22.

God's Got Reasons.....

We do not always understand why God does what he does or puts us in the places He does but He has reasons...

In Genesis 13 and 14 we find the story of Abram (Abraham) and Lot. This is were Lot and Abram divide up the land they are living in. Lot picks the more fertile land, but the thing is that Lot ends up in the middle of a war and taken captive by Sodom and Gomorrah, and his wife turns to salt.

At first it would appear that Abram got the short end of the stick in the land divide, but God was protecting him, not only that but God provided for him and even blessed him in the land he was in.

Matt is 33.

The handsome guy in this pictures turned 33 this week. I have so thankful for him in so many ways. I am thankful for our differences and for how much both us has grown in the last decade and I look forward to how much more we are going to grow in the future. Happy Birthday Hottie!

Christmas 2014

Just when I think things are going to slow down around here, they don't.... So, the last time a posted was fall... now it's almost February.... So, what about our Christmas...

It snowed, I can't remember the last time we had a snowy Christmas, it was awesome and the kids loved it. I am thankful that Christmas day is also pretty mellow around here. We went to Papa and Gamma's for presents and to spend the day. Had shrimp and crab, yummy. Took naps, played games and just enjoyed family.
