Oh Blog, my dear lonely friend, how I desert you so.

Ok, here we are again...months since my last post. I think I don't post because I'm not really sure anyone actually checks my blog for updates seeing how I know very few fellow bloggers. ANYWAY...

We moved into the new house, got everything all set up and done (with the exception of a couple drapes) and are totally loving it. Our kitchen is still waiting to be remodeled by the owners but it works for now. It was a struggle at first to keep the place clean, not having a dishwasher (yet) and all of our normal mess being confined in a much smaller space (never looked as messy all spread out!) but I have adapted my cleaning skills to work for our cozy cottage in order to keep it "magazine clean" as my mom always says. I can happily say that there are no more massive piles of dirty dishes in my life...which has been a struggle ever since I flew the nest....what can I say, I <3 dishwashers. But I have learned that I, too, can BE a dishwasher. Bahaha.

Recently I started working out (!!!!). Something I pretty much have never done in my life. Sure I did Cheer my freshman year, and dancing rehearsals for musicals with a Nazi Choreographer are a gnarly workout, and I had a gym membership last year (I used the easy machines and didn't push myself) BUT now I have goals to meet...fat to burn, muscle to build, endurance to strengthen. Thankfully I have an awesome workout partner, without whom, I would probably have been flabby and out of shape forever! She knows exactly how to kick my butt and how to keep me from hurting myself while doing it. Fabulous. Last week we went on a run, my FIRST RUN EVER, seriously. Being my first run though, I couldn't actually
run the whole time, but I pushed myself and ran longer than I ever thought possible and guaranteed next time, I will run even longer! We've also been doing these crazy stair-roller machines at the gym---gnarliest things ever. The other day we did 3 miles on them in 30 minutes...stairs...3 miles...picture a building that is 3 miles tall...and then go to the top floor using the stairs, not stopping, and doing it in 30 minutes. Yeah. My butt thanked me for that one. ;) Anyhoo... we have our goals set, and the dates we want to achieve them by and I am super pumped and will be very happy to show off my amazing muscles and lack of body fat lol.

In attempts to make this a quick read instead of a novel, I am going to stop here with plans of posting again soon... I guess we'll find out if that actually happens :P
