The Mommy Talks

And took a cycling class that was SERIOUSLY hard. I'm thinking of going to 6 am classes to be back before Mark leaves for work. Am I insane? Probably. I think it will feel good to be all energized and furthermore to like what I see in the mirror--particularly in a bathing suit. My dream is to get back into a bikini--and perhaps to even look better than before ;) But, for now, my calf muscle hurts! Ouch! One day at a time :)

Today was my last day at Reignmaker. I've been there (or some incarnation thereof) for the last 5 years. I was certain that I was there longer than I should have been. I loathe change and can be quite lazy ;) I could never really see any point (in what had generally felt like a waste of time career-wise) for my being around for so long. But, because I firmly believe in things like, fate, destiny, and karma...I know that there's a reason in there. Reasons are interesting in that they sometimes take a very long time to fully reveal themselves. So, it's a bittersweet ending--isn't that always the case? One door closes, another one opens? I wonder what's hiding in there.

This face was so silly that it practically begged to be shared...
 

Last weekend, Mark created a really nice landscape border out of leftover brick that matches our house. I think it looks great, and we couldn't beat the price! Free!
 
 

Ava had her dance recital Saturday morning. It was absolutely adorable. I'd post pics and a video, but I've lost my memory card. I still have pics, but my sister has them, so I will share w/in the next few days. After her recital, we went and had our nails done. She was so patient and serious while she had her nails done. Then afterward, told me all about how much fun it was. Later, we played on the swingset and took a nap. It was a great day. Having a daughter just gets more and more fun. She's the sweetest girl and always has an "I love you" for me and loves to give unsolicited compliments. It's funny b/c I never knew that I wanted a baby girl, but it turns out, I didn't just want one...I NEEDED one! :)

I am leaving the job that I've had for the last 5 years on 6/6. I'm sure I'll post more detail about that later. :)
