It's been a while...

Ok, so its been a long while since I last blogged. I've been on here to read the blog that I follow, but I just haven't had the energy to write. Today, I think I have the energy. So today is my 32nd birthday... wow! Thirty two years of life. This morning I was woken up by my awesome boyfriend calling at 4:30 a.m. cause in DC its 5:30 a.m. and he's getting ready to go to work. After talking to him for almost 45 minutes, I felt so good and happy that I have someone so special in my life. Then I went back to sleep and I woke up and felt like this was just any old day... After I battled traffic and got to work, I was surprised by some great gifts from some of the members in my work family. Lunch was good, and the day went on. Then just now I read up on the blog that I usually follow and I realized that today is a great day. I need to realize that everyday I have is a GREAT day. I think sometimes we fall into the everyday routine of life and we don't take time to appreciate life and the chance that we've been given to be here. So to the person that every once in a while opens up my eyes to appreciate life, I say "thanks." I know this girl through her blog, but every week I look forward to reading about her adventures and how she handles them. It helps me bring my life into perspective.

Running...
So last month I joined the "office biggest loser" and we started on our journey. I did this because it would help me to keep working out while C was off to DC until October! I needed something to help keep me motivated. Last night was our first weigh in and man was I upset when I didn't win. I lost by .6% which is a little more than half a pound... If only I had run a couple of more miles. All I can say to my work losers--You better be ready for next month! I'm going to win. These guys and girls that I'm up against think I'm kidding, but its the only child syndrome in me that hates losing!

Until next time folks!
