My how time flies

I can't believe it has been several years since my last post, as the title of this blog says, my how time flies. I guess I should start back to my blogging with a quick recap of what has been going on here, so here it goes.

I have started a healthier lifestyle that includes running, yup I said it.....running. I even ran a half marathon in 2011, never thought I would be able to to do that but I did and I FINISHED ;-) I plan on running a marathon sometime later but let's face it I will be doing that much later (after both kids are in school and I have time to train). For the mean time I am going to keep running my little 5k races and enjoy every second of it. The next race I have coming up is Make Tracks for the Zoo in May. The race I am looking the most forward to is in August. I know it is going to most likely be unbearably hot but I get to run from Zombies and it's an obstacle course how much fun is that.

Another big part of my healthier lifestyle is Ninjutsu. I started Ninjutsu back in January 2012 and am completely hooked. The dojo I attend is Kamikokoro Warrior Arts Dojo and the instructor there is absolutely amazing. Never thought I would be participating in a martial art but here I am and I can't get enough.

I have also jumped on the Zumba bandwagon. I know everyone is doing this but let's face it it's so much fun and it works.

What else has been going on, well let's see, the kids have grown up so much. Kaylin is going to be starting kindergarten, yup that's right, she's that old already. Elise is running around getting into everything and has a very sassy disposition, she is very funny. It's hard to believe that I have been blessed with such wonderful kiddos.

I have also really got into baking and cooking. I have made the girls birthday cakes and have really enjoyed that. I have even made a couple of cakes for other people. I love finding new recipes and trying them out and even putting my own little spin on them. My next project is to make a recipe scrapbook for the girls. I will have to see about adding a cooking page onto this blog so that I can post recipes and pictures of some of the food we make.

Well, that's a quick little synopsis of what's been going on, hopefully I will update this blog more frequently from here on out.......we can only hope ;-)
