What a WONDERFUL Surprise

I signed up for Shape magazine around the Holidays for myself. After a few months they began to come in, however I kept recieving another magazing as well- Woman's Day. Like most of you know, if you sign up for one magazine you get offers for others and I thought I might of accidentally signed up for this. I even told Cody I should be getting a bill for the Woman's Day sometime.
I am even embarrssed to say I haven't had much time in the last 3 months to even read eaither of them. I just keep staking them next to my bed and one of these days I will find time to read them.

I was talking to my grandma "at the farm" and we was chatting away a few weeks ago and all sudden she said "Oh I keep forgetting to ask you if you get your magazine in the mail?" I was a little puzzled. She had signed me up for Woman's Day around Christmas. I looked over in my room of a large stack of magazines and said "Yeah but haven't had time to read them yet"
What a WONDERFUL surprise!!!
My goal- Is to read my MAGAZINES soon.

There is no place like home

Where is home? That is not a easy answer. The home my husband and I share is in Noblesville. However, my home town in my heart is the Columbus, Indiana and Brown County area. To make this even more confusing, I graduated from an high school in Greensburg, Indiana.

The reason for this topic to be brought up is the latest trip that we made to Brown country last weekend. It remind me of the peace of life, the non hussal bustle of the city/suburb life. The clam it brought to me. The laid back eniverment I found when I was a kid. It was wonderful!

However, is this because I currently have stress in my life and this brought a quick fix to my issues? It brought more peace to my life at the time I need it the most? Is it because my grandparents are near and its always a joy to be in their presents? Sometimes, bring you back to your roots makes you realized whats more important in life.

Don't get me wrong I always said I would move to the city for bigger and better things. I enjoy getting into my car and going to the store/mall just minutes away.

I just saying - I felt a bit home sick when I got home.

Love Cereal

I could eat cereal for all three meals than some. We actually go through a lot of boxes at our home. So, the last time I was at Kroger I went to grab my favorite cereal like always and it was $5.15 a box!!! Who would pay $5.15 for a box of cereal? Has the economy bounce back and I didn't know it?
Say the least, I found another cereal during that trip.

Image the things you can find....

As I am about to leave to Walmart, I notice I cant find my blue-tooth. Actually, I don't remember when I used it...sometime this past week. So, we go on the hunt - dumped my purse - very scary but I found a pair of earnings I been looking for. Than we went upstairs...still nothing.
The big hunt- the cars.
Cody took the Pilot and I took the car -Oh the things we found!. Cody has been missing one of his phone chargers, and actually bought a replacement last night - Found it. Than I showed him two other car chargers in the car - He said "gosh, I been looking for them too" - Found it. Than last weekend we was looking for our IPod adapter cord to plug into the pilot - Found it in the car. Than I was leading over into the backseat from the front seat and found a lip gloss I been looking for months!!!

So after finding everything in the cars, still no blue-tooth. Cody thought he would look one more place- The oversize chair (that I sit in everyday) - He found it broken! So all of that work to find out I need a new one.

Did I get hint by a Bus or run 12 miles

This last Wednesday I ran 12 miles for the first time. I started off my day by being so busy at work I never thought about running that night. Until I got the gym and showed up 30 minutes before the run. Than I relized that I had a long night ahead of me and it was going to be a rewarding run if I could complete it.
Like always we started going in the same direction and started the run, I never even thought of the sun and how hot it was that day. When I got onto my 5th mile I could feel the sun beating down on me and I was slowly loosing one of my friends that I started the run with. When I looked back I could not find her anywhere. I continue to run but I found myself getting dehydrated. However, when you are in a middle of a run and the only thing you want to do is get back to your car....the only way you are going to get their quick is....RUN RUN RUN!
After running a little over another 2 miles I saw the friend I had lost...she was getting sick along the road. I stopped to ask if she was fine than kept on running.
As I continue to run, I came up to two girls that decided to stop running and walk. As I caught up to them I continue to run towards the next water spot. I felt so dehydrated when I finally arrived to the water spot, I could not open the water bottle - I had to ask some random person to help me. After finishing running my last 3 miles and got back to the YMCA I couldn't even move or walk straight.
I made it through the whole 12 mile run. I felt for the amount and the heat really made it hard. I know 1/4th of my group had got sick and half them had to walk during the walk. However, everyone made it and this makes us all ready for the big run on May 8th!!

Bella's New Do

Like, I told everyone she wasn't fat. She just had a lot of hair. Bo wanted to fit into the picture as well but Bella wanted to have the spot light.
