Great Friday

Got a great start to my weekend today! Chris is FINALLY back in town after being gone for 2 weeks. Whew! Not sure how I made it through the last 2 weeks without him. I was about to leave and go pick him up from the airport when I got a surprise delivery. He sent me Mother's Day roses, spa package, and chocolate. Considering the week I had had, this was just what I needed. The fact that he has been so busy at a new store opening, I thought he was for sure going to forget that Mother's Day was Sunday. Not only did he not forget, but he got a head start on in. The card was so sweet too. It read like this: Crystal, I continue to be amazed by all you do and how you take care of me and our children. Cameron, Calleigh, and I are so lucky to have you.
Love you,
Chris, Cameron, Calleigh, and Fatty (hey I take care of the cat too, got to list him)
What a wonderful husband and best friend. I am truly blessed for this life I have.

Running with babies

So tonight I had to run with the kids. This is always an interesting activity. First, let's do the math. Jogging stroller= 30lbs, Cam= 33lbs, Cal= 24lbs, so I am pushing an additional 80lbs during my run. Needless to say, I did great to run for 30 minutes. At the end, Cam always wants to run with me. I let him run home and he just loves it. I just bought him "running shoes" per his request. Am I raising a future running buddy...I think so...

Back in the Saddle....

Ok everyone! I am officially back to blogging. I woke up this morning and just had some thoughts in my head that lead me back. As I sit here at 5:30 in the morning, coffee in hand, I want to briefly explain my reasoning. I started my blog so family and friends could see and keep up with our lives since we keep moving further away from them. I often think it is just for others and if I don't keep up with it, oh well. I have started working full time now and its just so much to keep up with. This morning as I thought about my life, I thought, wow things are just going so fast right now. Hours turn into days into weeks. I feel like I am running a marathon and just trying to enjoy it while it lasts. That being said, I want to keep up with my blog now for ME! I want to look back at our lives and remember. When I think of our wedding day, and what a great day it was, I just can't remember the things I sometimes want to remember. When it gets hard, I pull out my wedding album and it always jogs my memory. So now I want my blog to do the same. I want it to jog MY memory about what has happened in our lives. Things get so busy and I just don't want to forget that THIS IS THE TIME OF OUR LIVES. So I am going to be documenting things alot better about what we are up to. Well, better get to lunches and getting kids ready. The pics are just a few to let you see how big the little angles have gotten. MAKE IT A GREAT DAY FRIENDS! (yes the coffee is starting to kick in)
