So excited!

Amy and her family will be here in 6 days!! I'm so stinkin' excited I can hardly stand it. I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas. I'm so ready for a break from work and everything else and just spend time hanging with my friend and her family. We will celebrate her birthday while she's here, I have a cool surprise planned for that! We will also go to the zoo and the drive in. She's going to make Jonathan a skateboard cake while she's here. I think most of you became a fan of her FB page, and know what awesome cakes she makes. When we were in Alabama last summer she made a cake for Savannah, and now it's Jonathan turn. He is so excited!

Here lately I have been in a great mood! I'm working out, the sun has been out, and I have in general been feeling great. I finished week 5 of my Couch to 5k program and ran 18 minutes yesterday!! What a step up from when I could barley run 90 seconds!! I was supposed to run 20 minutes, but whoever thought going from a 8 minutes run to a 20 minute run was a good idea was crazy!! I went 13 minutes than had to walk for a couple of minutes, then finished strong. Tomorrow is week 6! I can't wait to get started!!! Jen and I are doing our 5k in just over a month. So excited and scared at the same time. I've never committed myself to anything like that before. I can't wait. I don't care what my time is, I just want to finish!!

You will do GREAT on your 5K! Even if you don't run the entire thing, just committing, training, and completing it will be a HUGE accomplishment. So proud of you!

And - I'm a bit jealous of Amy. But have fun during your visit!

I'm so excited for you and proud of you. I also want you to know that you are inspiring. As much as I love to excercise I always let the other "have to's" get in the way of it and you inspire me to put it as a priority. Every time I see how far you've ran, how much water you drink, or how many other healthy choices you make it makes me do the same. So, THANK YOU. For working hard and for being my inspiration. HUGS!

Wow! Staci thanks! I never thought to or meant to inspire anybody. I'm glad I have though! You need to post about what you are doing!

Sister, don't be giving me to much credit yet! I'm working my way up to a 5k, a marathon is another 23 miles!!
