Life Update

I decided it was about time for a little life update on the Tortoise and myself.  So, here's what's been happening in our neck of the woods!

I am currently training for the Indianapolis Mini Marathon that is taking place this May.  I am really happy to have a new goal to be training for, and it is definitely keeping me motivated to work out and stay in shape.  It's amazing what a little structure in your work out schedule will do to keep you on track!  The tortoise has also been really good about exercising and is running a few times a week.  He's good for my motivation, because on most nights that I feel like skipping my work out, he puts on his running shoes and heads down to the fitness center.  By my competitive nature, I can't allow him to have more exercise than me, so I usually follow him down!

I am still dabbling in cooking, and I love trying new recipes.  My crock pot is my best friend, and I LOVE finding tasty, healthy recipes that I can use it for.  If you have any, feel free to send them my way!  The poor tortoise has had to go along while I continue to experiment, and he does well with handling my cooking ups and downs!

I was recently asked to be Matron of Honor in my best friend's wedding next summer.  I could not be more excited for Ashlie and her fiance Nick.  They are a great couple, and I'm honored to be able to help her in her planning and preparations for their big day!

I feel like I am finally sort of becoming an "adult."  The tortoise and I have been spending a lot of time discussing finances and delegating household responsibilities.  I spend a good amount of my internet time on a site called The Nest (it is affiliated with the wedding website, The Knot, and also the baby website, The Bump).  It gives me all of sorts of great articles to read about decorating, saving money, and tricks to make household chores more manageable.  I love it!  Check it out be clicking here.  It's ridiculous how excited I get about coupons these days...  


There's a little bit of a life update for anyone who might be interested.  I will make a point of coming back around to this corner of the internet more often.  For anyone looking for more blogs to stalk, check out the blog that my sisters and I do together by clicking here.

Have a great day!
