So I need to get my butt off of this chair and get to the gym to run again. WOW is my knee sore. I’ve been approved by my Doctor to start all activites again slowly, but I just feel that I can’t. I still limp. I noticed when I worked out every single day my knee didn’t bother me as much. Yeah, that means I need to work out every day. I just thought my knee wouldn’t be bothering me anymore by this point.
Now the news… My sister-in-law Jasmine wants to do the 5k thing with me in the Spring as well. That makes Jess, Jasmine and I running a 5k before the end of May. Anyone else want to join us? You can even run your own if you live far away. I have to admit that I really do not want to run the 5k, but I want to be in shape. This will give me a good goal to get in shape. Anyways, just let me know if you want in. You know you want to be part of the IN crowd. HEHE…

Why hello there readers! Remember me? Bridge?
Well I really can’t make any excuses for why I haven’t blogged for awhile. I’ve just had too much to do, and nothing I could write about. Everything I wanted to write about wasn’t mine to talk about. I can’t promise I will keep writing, but I will try.
The reason for this post is that I have started the Couch to 5k program today. I ran 6 minutes out of 30 and it wasn’t too bad. My knee killed, but I knew it would. Knowing as long as I am wearing my brace I am not hurting my knee helps me run through the pain. Even better news? Jess just mentioned she would do a 5k in the spring with me! YEAH!!! She is going to kill me when she reads this, but now that it is posted she will have to.

Battlestar Galactica…
Need I say more? NERD!!! Why haven’t I been patiently waiting for each episode for years? This show rocks. The filming is so well done. The space scenes are to die for, and I love the sound effects of the battles in space. Oh, and if you didn’t realize I was a total nerd before now…
I love DVD’s. I can watch an entire years worth of episodes in one week. I probably will too. Productivity has just went to hell thanks to Battlestar Galactica.
Frack…
Fracking…
LOL… I’ve used both before. I’ve also used Freak and Freaking. I do live in Utah. We tend to censor ourselves here.

Last Friday I ran on a treadmill. Exactly two weeks ago from today.
It was such an important moment for me. It has been more than 6 months since I have been able to do any aerobic activity. Over four months since my surgery.
It felt WONDERFUL.
I was only allowed to run for two minutes, but now I can very slowly try to run a little bit more. In the next two months I should be able to get up to 5 minutes. (Yes I know that is VERY slow, but I really don’t want to have surgery again.)
Yeah for me!

This year my kids are busy after school. My son wanted to take Karate. My daughter wanted to take Gymnastics. I wanted them to take Piano. They are both also in scouts. Surprisingly they both still have a lot of free time. I am trying to pack everything in on just two/three nights a week to give them days off. So far they both have Mondays, Fridays, and the weekend completely clear. They are also both in activity heaven.
The karate class my son takes wants you to come at least twice a week. With your tuition you can actually go up to 4 times a week. Last week my son went three times, and only because he wanted to. How cute is it that he asked to go the extra day? Pretty dang cute.
The gymnastics class my daughter takes looks like a blast. She loves it. She wishes she could go more often, but it isn’t available unless I want to do private lessons. No thank you for now.
Piano is taught by one of my customers named Tiffany. She is located in Logan and has great rates. She also works great with my kids. If anyone wants their kids in Piano just contact me for her info. She is still taking a few more students.
I’ll get some photos up here soon! I will also get rates/info about the programs to anyone who needs the info. Just let me know.

Today I am photographing two weddings. Yeah, I am nuts. I promise myself every time I shoot two weddings in one day that I will NEVER do it again. Well never happens to be today.
Will I ever learn?
Photographing a wedding is a lot of work. Both mentally and physically. By the end of today I will be EXHAUSTED. I love doing it though. Most photographers shun weddings. I thrive on them.
Congratulations to both of my happy couples! I wish you a wonderful life together.

Happy Birthday Jasmine!
(ISN’T SHE A HOTTIE!)
Jasmine is my sister-in-law, and she is sooooooooo freaking talented. She can draw, paint, sing, play piano, and make jewelry, ext. It is all so beautiful and she makes it look effortless. I asked for a picture of a mermaid and she had one drawn within minutes.
Jasmine is a makeup artist, photographer, jewelry maker, and a wonderful mother to my nephew and niece. If you see a really good photo of me there is an almost 100% chance that she is the one that took it.
If you want to see her work you can go to her blog at: www.glooart.com. Trust me… you won’t be disappointed. She also sells jewelry on her site. Just look for the etsy link on the right side. You should also go wish her a Happy Birthday and tell her that I sent you. She has needed some cheering up!
Oh, and Jazz… I love putting up blackmail photos. Even if they are of myself. Apparently…
