first time on a stair stepper!!

one of my best friends is having....

Baller Babes at Barre3

loki's girlfriend...

a new puppy (it is NOT ours)...

Straight from china...or Japan...

Wherever it is from it is amazing. I didn't believe it would help take away the ache of my back and it totally did.

i heart sandwich's....

My first sandwich in months. And to think - I used to eat two halves, chips, and pop!!!

the shocking is working!

two awesomely awesome things!!!

18 school days left...

and 25 pounds of weight loss!!!

nightly stretch...

It was 9:30 and I was stretching...I am so old - or at least my body is :-/

fitting back in...

I haven't worn these pants since I taught in ID in 2007/2008!!!

relief...

from the spicy habenero fritters!

goodness, greatness, great...

balls of cheesy hobenaro "great balls of fire" fritters at Salvador Molly's...

reuse...

Using our "responce cards" from the wedding for the kiddos to write notes on. GO green ;-)

shocking!!!

Just got signed up for some nightly shock therapy ;-) but I'm secretly super excited for some of the nightly pain and soreness to be helped! And super glad to have an amazing physical therapist.

Happy wednesday...

Kim was too distracted by drinking to take a picture ;-)

Minus 10%!!!

short little walk!

We knew we wanted to go on a walk today but I know I had personal training tomorrow and didn't want to over do it...this was the perfect length!!

"best" dinner ever ;-)

A quick stop for Jason to see Haystack Rock for the first time.

My favorite restaurant (Chevy's) closed in Vancouver...

...but I happened to wake up on the way home just before the exit that happened to have a Chevy's. Awesome coincidence.

The Oregon Coast!!!

Tillamook Cheese Factory

Rockaway Beach Kite Festival

me and my walking buddies

I've been walking during recess a few times a week with two of my kiddos. One jabbers my ear off non-stop and one serenads me with a combo of chior music and Katy Perry ;-)

before/middle...

I can't wait to see the "after" picture :)

minus 10% lost!!!!

Hello 10% weight loss!!!!!

Don't mind the sweat. Just got my butt kicked by my personal trainer!!!

walking the walk...

Cool kids get orthotics at 29...didn't you know?!?!

Our PE teacher made a walking/running program for the kiddos at recess. The teachers can earn the feet outside of school. Each foot equals 4 miles of walking! Go me!!!

Our new route...

this is what we did yesterday...

we lead exciting lives!!

though the best part of it for me was it was the hubby's idea!!!

Cirque!!!!

Deep clean!!!

joyus...i assure you...

it means the world to me...

to have someone who knows exactly what it is i am going through!!!

so true
