Wow it's been a few weeks since I have posted. We've been so busy. Cart and I were mentioning to each other tonight how much out of our "normal" routines we are. So I thought I would update and post pics (at the end of this post) of what we have been up to for the last few weeks.
On February 15th Cart ran in the 26.2 with Donna. The only National Breast Cancer Marathon. He finished in 5hrs and 3min (not the actual chip time but pretty close). I am so proud of him. He trained for months but always managed to work his training around my work schedule so that it wouldn't take away from our time together. I truly am spoiled in this aspect. :)
The almost exactly 2 weeks later Cart ran in the first ever MS Mud Run. This is a 6 mile "run" military boot camp style. There were several obstacles stationed throughout the course to be completed. Cart ran this with his bestfriend D. They finished in just under 2 hours. It wasn't about the finish time but about having fun for a cause close to our family.
For me I've been so busy with work. We have been short staffed so I've actually been working "full-time" for the last several weeks. Since August I have really only been working about 25 hrs a week. But still making full time pay. So with working 40hrs I've been able to make some extra money which is great. I am now bartending which I am so happy to get back to that. That is one thing I loved doing when working in the former restaurant that I worked in.
At the beginning of January I switched gyms and started with a personal trainer. I did this for several reasons. 1) it's time to get my weight under control after all the injuries. 2) I thought it would help with the whole TTC (trying to conceive) issue. 3) we are going on a cruise in 3 days and I didn't want to look "fat" in the pictures 4) my 10yr HS reunion is in June. So far to date I have lost 14 lbs. I wanted to loose 20 by the cruise but being 6 lbs off I'm not complaining. I am hoping to get down to 140 by June.
As I just mentioned we are headed on a cruise in a few days. We are excited about vacation and feel we truly need this. When we get back we will be celebrating our 3rd anniversary. It truly is amazing, it really feels like we've been together forever. Look for a blog on our anniversary with "flashbacks" to that day.

He finished and was all sweaty.
