Lazy Saturday

I love Saturdays. I get up, go workout, shop for groceries, clean the house, and finish my laundry all before lunch. Now I get to relax with my girls, a cup of tea and my book. Cam built a fire earlier and our living room so warm and cozy right now. I love it.

Tonight we are going to FroYo with Paul & Brenda. I'm looking forward to a treat since I have been working so hard. It will be nice to do some catching up too.

Cam is busy working on our rental property today. The tenants just moved out so now we have to get it all clean before we can show it tomorrow to potential renters. I went to the house for the first time last night since I moved out in May 2008. It was a little bitter sweet. It was the first big purchase I have ever made and was my house until Cam and I got married. Cam got a ton of inquiries on the house over the last couple of weeks so hopefully we can find some good renters.

Searching for spring.....

Just when I thought that spring was almost here, it starts snowing again. I know that it is still February, but really?! I am tired of it being cold in our house and I am tired of having to wear huge jackets and scarves everywhere. It just feels nice to be able to go outside without having to be all bundled up.

I am looking forward to possibly planting a small garden this spring. I say possibly because I don't know where I would put one and I don't know if I want to deal with the hassle of the upkeep. Of course Cam wants one, but he isn't going to be eating any veggies from it and I am sure he won't be helping me pull any weeds.......

Mobile Blogging.....

I have never written a blog from my phone. So far it seems like it is a lot more time consuming.:)
This weekend flew by! I'm a little jealous that Cam doesn't have to work tomorrow. I wish I could sleep in one more day!

Tomorrow, Monday, is little Miss Maisy's adoption anniversary. The year went by so fast. Maisy is such a wonderful little girl. She is quite the little fire cracker! Deciding to keep her was a very good decision, I can't imagine not having her. Tia loves her little sister.:)

February.....

Being sick is no fun. I caught a nasty cold last week and I am still recovering from it. Knock on wood, Cam never got it. I don't like being sick, it is lame.

We have been pretty busy the last couple of weeks. It seems like we are always busy. We have been slowly updating the furniture in our house which I am loving. Luckily, Cam and I are in agreement on most furniture pieces. We have finished our living room and it looks amazing! We got 2 new sitting chairs, an end table, new lamp, a plant (I hope we don't kill it!), and a hutch that doubles as a buffet and holds wine. We figure that if we get a couple of pieces every month, we will be done and not in a huge sticker shock. We still have to find a bistro table and finish our bedroom, but I am confident it will all come together. Other major projects still that need to be completed are carpeting the upstairs and finishing the office. We did (actually Cam did) get all the new bedroom windows installed before this winter. They look amazing! He did a wonderful job. I assisted on one window and it was hard work! Kudos to Cam!!!!

People have been asking me, and asking me, and asking me when I was going to start running again. The answer is NOW! I have an amazing personal trainer who has gotten me back on the right track. I have signed up for a couple of 1/2 marathons for this year and a 10K. Just last weekend Cam and I ran the Partners in Pain 5k. It was fun, nothing fast, but it was fun to run with him. I was still getting over my cold and Cam really hasn't been running, but we had fun and we finished. :) I am excited to be working towards the races that I have signed up for. A couple that I have signed up for are in Portland so I am looking forward to getting to spend some time with Cass. It is going to be a fun summer!!!!!

We didn't do much for Valentine's Day this year. Does that mean that we are getting old????? We were going to do a couple of things, but then just never got around to doing them. We did the 5k together and got eachother cards and that was about it.

We are making more of an effort recently to get out of the house and do stuff. We have gone to 2 Spokane Chief's games recently. Cam likes to go so that he can see a big fight. So far we have only seen a couple of small ones.

This last weekend I got to attend my first musical, Legally Blonde. It was a lot of fun. I feel so cultured now. :) I got a season Broadway pass so that I can go and see Wicked also. I think that musical is next month. Should be fun.

I should be fired...

Fired from blogging that is! I just realized that (gasp!) it has been almost 2 months since I blogged about anything. Since starting my new job (which I LOVE!) I have been a pretty busy person! When I am not at work I am either cleaning, doing laundry, cleaning, cooking, cleaning, going to the gym, or cleaning. I have to clean a lot. I should hire a maid (hint, hint Mr. Malcolm).

I will recap the last several weeks.....or at least attempt to. I spent Christmas in Oregon with my family and Cam stayed in Spokane. On New Year's we went to Portland for my mom's surprise birthday party. She was pretty surprised! It was a fun, but quick trip. It was wonderful to be able to stay in Portland with Cassie & Scott.

Not sure when we will make it back to Oregon. Seems like there is always something that needs to be done around here. I am planning on running some races with Cassie in Portland this spring and summer so that should be fun. Only fun if I train for them.....

Cam is taking some accounting classes at EWU, so he is pretty busy and rarely seen around the house. When he is home he is studying or sleeping. He seems to like his classes, but they sound pretty hard to me. I have never been good with numbers. I think he will be happy when the quarter is over.

The girlies are good. They are ready for summer already. It is no fun to have to go outside when it is freezing cold outside. Maisy is ready for some running with me and Tia is ready for all of the pretty flowers to come out so she can sniff them and then work on her sun tan. :)
