No really.... I'll get it hung....

| Amy & me before the Rebel Challenge - Anaheim, January 2016 |
We adopted two new furbabies on January 23rd: Lex (who was 9 months old at the time), and Luna (who, I think is almost three now but I'd have to look to be sure). They both adapted very quickly to their new home and we all adapted very quickly to our new family members.

We tore out much of the wall between our kitchen & livingroom, and made a kitchen table/countertop. It really opens are little home up a lot and allows us to eat dinner together at a table on a regular basis. And we do!

In February, I moved buildings at work. I like the new digs, although the walk to/from my parking lot is significantly longer. I now have a 13-15 minute walk each way. But.... there's an upside to that: Fitbit steps!! Hitting 10,000 has never been easier. Winning!
I've been enjoying 6am workouts far more than I ever thought I would. Getting up at 5:27am sucks -- yes 5:27 because I have it calculated down to the exact minute what time I need to get up to get ready and leave the house to get to the trainer's studio by 5:58am so I can get foam rolling before whatever torture she's going to put us through that day. So yeah, it sucks. But once I'm there and the energy kicks in and the music is going and I start twerking, all is great. And I'm always glad I did it. I work out with warrior goddesses so it's all good.
The kids had some snow days. It's like they had NO snow days all year, then March rolled around (or maybe even April, I can't remember) and winter was all like, "Wait! I haven't showed up yet! I'm going to dump all I got on you now! And there shall be no school for days!" and so it was. Four snow days within a span of less than two weeks. It was unreal. And we were all going a bit stir crazy. Winter was a little drunk this year, I think.
Ummm, let's see, what other life happened?
Oh! Florida! We went to Florida last month for the Star Wars Dark Side races. Evan did a kids race. Sean did the 5K and a kids race. I did the 5K, 10K, and half marathon. Dan did the 10K and half marathon with me. For this, my husband rocks. He could've easily finished smoother and faster than me. But he didn't. He stayed by my side the entire 19.3 miles (10K and half marathon). The. Entire. Distance. He encouraged me and cheered me on. This was his race too but he made it mine.
We crossed the half marathon finish line holding hands. It was so cheesy adorable and I loved every second of it. I still need to get the pictures.

He insists he's going to do a half marathon for himself one day -- I'll be there to cheer him on! Not running it though. I think my long running days are about numbered (I'm stopping short of saying words like "never" and "forever"). But I feel like I've accomplished all I set out to do and more with that. I'm perfectly content doing 5K's and 10K's for fun medals and t-shirts and wine.
And so. All that life happened in January, February, March, and April. Now we're nearly two weeks into May already! I shall update May in a separate post.
