No, I didn't fall off the face of the earth! I am settling into the new routine that is working a normal workweek again. Praise God, I no longer have to work weekends! <br />

I am completely in love with our new home! I am blown away every day how beautiful the fall weather is here in New Mexico! It goes to show that if you trust God and his plan, things work out great! I have decided to run a marathon in April, and this beautiful weather is helping that goal! This afternoon after church, the boys grilled a pizza on the smoker. We stayed outside as it cooked and enjoyed the afternoon. Todd got to work collecting pecans. We have 2 pecan trees, and we are overflowing with pecans! Here are a few pics from our afternoon.<br />

Boutique jars, $30. My mason jar was $5 plus an additional $5 for the paint that can be used multiple times. $20 savings! Yay!</div>

I know I haven't written in a very long time, but I'm back! We are finally homeowners again. It has been a long exhausting process with lots of ups and downs. But God was teaching me to have faith, and when I did he blessed me beyond measure! <br />
<br />
We are busy getting settled in our new house, and our moving truck will be here with our stuff next Thursday. Yippee! I get my bed back! In the meantime, I have been picked up pieces along the way to decorate with. I have found a great antique store that has really great prices. I have been in there a lot, and I will be refinishing several things I have bought there. For those of you who have me on Instagram, you have already seen the mirror and lamp. Stay tuned, I will post the projects on here. So for now, sit back and enjoy the tour!<br />

Just sitting here enjoying my coffee after a morning run! I have been sitting here thinking about how nice it is to start my day before my guys are up for the day.<br />
<br />
I run for stress relief.........anyone that has ever bought a house can relate. I think mortgage underwriters must be really miserable people :) <br />
<br />
5 am is a quiet time in the world, most of the world isn't awake yet. On the running paths, it is like a secret society of people who also are craving that early morning time to themselves.<br />
<br />
I can come home and shower and enjoy my coffee and computer in peace. It is a really satisfying feeling knowing my workout is already done for the day. I feel like I am slowly getting back into a running routine, and I like it.<br />
<br />
After our running group photo shoot, I did not like what I saw looking back at me in those images. I was a chunky girl in running shorts. A girl that needed to get back in gear. So, I am making an honest effort to be tracking on myfitnesspal every day. I wear my FitBit to get an accurate measure of what I burn throughout the day, and I am trying to find substitutions for my soda habit. I am addicted to it like some people are cigarettes. Hopefully, in baby steps it will get better! <br />
<br />
Sorry, my thoughts are random this morning! Hope everyone has a great day!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05188882570215780393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1037050099802602474.post-38874032108369773872013-05-29T15:21:00.001-07:002013-05-29T15:21:40.084-07:00The beginning of my running life....My running group from home has started our own blog, "The Callipygians"! As part of our introductory posts, we are each writing about how we started running. So here is mine.<br />
<br />
First off, I was FAT! I weighed 196, and was determined not to hit the 200 mark. And I was ANGRY! I had a friend that lost a child in a tragedy, and I was losing faith in humanity with how she was being treated. That accident showed me what a cruel and judging world we live in. I needed an outlet for all the emotions swirling in my head. I was going to Weight Watchers and walking for my activity points, but on a particularly bad day that just wasn't enough.........so I ran until I couldn't anymore. Then I walked until I could, I ran until tears were streaming down my sweaty, salty face. Some days I ran and it didn't feel like work. Some days I felt like a turtle stampeding through peanut butter :) But I kept running, and the weight started to come off. <br />
<br />
<br />
My first race was a 10K a month after I began running, Laura's Legacy. It is held in Garden City to honor a mother-runner who lost her fight to brain cancer leaving behind two young boys and a husband. I probably should have started with a shorter distance, but go BIG or go home right? I ran/walked that very emotional race, every mile with my heart aching for my friends that were grieving. At the finish line, Laura's two little boys were handing out water bottles. That was hard......but they were actively honoring their mommy in her memorial race. I cried the whole way home.<br />

I began searching for more races. Our area has several races and I began to grow as a runner. One thing that amazes me about the running community is that whether you are first or last, everyone cheers for you the same. The encouragement I got from other runners motivated me to better myself.<br />
<br />
So, I decided I wanted to tackle a half-marathon. Again, go BIG or go home.....so I signed up for Disney World! I ran the Inaugural Disney Princess Half-Marathon.<br />
<br />

I have since ran three more half-marathons, one more at Disney World, and most recently Vegas!<br />

<br />
We moved to New Mexico this spring, and I am slowly finding my running groove here. There are beautiful foothills and rivers to run on! <br />
<br />
In closing, I just want to encourage everyone. It doesn't matter if you are slow or fast, what matters is that you are out there.<br />

I know it has been a long time since the last post. Things have been wild lately! We have sold our house, moved two states away and we are loving it!<br />
<br />
I started my new job this weekend, and I feel like I will fit in just fine. I enjoy getting to be home with Briggan during the week. We have been going to story hour at the library, walks along the river etc. Last night we went to the river to feed the ducks and had ice cream after. There is a great ice cream shop here called "Kalideoscoops". I seem to be eating my way through our new town, however I am not finding many opportunities to run the food calories off. Hopefully things will settle down soon and I can get back in a running routine. There is a Glow 5K here on Friday night. I plan on running it, although my time will be horrible. I am just trying to get out and meet people that have similar interests as me. We have found a church we like, and they offer lots of activities, and there are many young couples like us.<br />
<br />
My in-laws are making their first trip here to see us this weekend. I'm excited! I'm ready for Friday to be here already! I will try to be better about blogging now that we are a little bit settled.<br />
<br />
Here are some pics of our recent duck feeding experience.<br />

I have just been crazy busy! <br />
<br />
The new year started off great, workouts were going good, stopped cold turkey on my coca-cola, life is good! Then, like life always does, I was thrown a curveball. It involves a great opportunity for my husband, but simply scares me to death. How do you know when God is trying to push you out of your comfort zone? Is this something that is in his will? I will go into more detail later as we know more. So, throw in a baby that is getting 4 molars at once and running a temp, and you get a mommy that has thrown her good eating and exercising intentions out the window. Why is it so easy to do that? I guess that will always be my struggle, when life gets overwhelming I just throw in the towel with my good habits? I still look to running to handle the stress, but when my only choice is the treadmill I often skip it. How can I make friends with the treadmill? <br />
<br />
Anyway, the moral of all this is, tomorrow is another day. I can start fresh tomorrow. And I will be ready, God willing, for the next curveball!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I will try not to wait so long to post again!<br />

I am sorry my race weekend recap is so late, but I had a crazy week with my dad in the hospital, but that is another post altogether. <br />
<br />
Let me begin by saying how tremendously hard it was to leave my baby for the first time! I knew he was in great hands, and we all survived. We flew in to Vegas on Friday afternoon. I wanted to get to the running expo before it got too crowded. We were able to walk and shop without fighting a crowd which was nice. I picked up a onesie for Bubba, a shirt for myself, Yurbuds for Todd and I, new running hat and headband, and a 13.1 christmas ornament. We also loaded up on the numerous samples and handouts they give. They had Gu samples in peanut butter, yummy! As we were leaving, I saw the "Penguin"! Only my running friends will probably know who he is, but his name is John Bingham, and he is a famous author and runner. He is an advocate for all of us slow runners out there! I just had to go talk to him! I am sure Todd was mortified, but I had to meet him! He was very cool, and Todd talked motorcycles with him for about 10 minutes. Very down to earth guy!<br />

After dinner, the race had a Michelob Ultra sponsored concert. The band was called "Sick Puppies". I didn't think I had ever heard of them, but I recognized a few songs that they play on Octane on XM radio. It was held down on Fremont street, and we definitely got to see all kinds of people! We went back to the hotel at midnight because our bodies were telling us it was 2 am, Kansas time.</div>

Saturday we had breakfast at the buffet in the Venetian and then walked the strip. We had a small lunch at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville. And drinks :) My legs were getting tired, so we retreated to the room and watched a movie. I ended up falling asleep, my body needed the sleep! After my nap, I headed down to the spa for some treadmill time. I needed to run to reassure myself I was ready. It was a fairly short run, I was running short on time. We had reservations at a very nice place for supper, and I wanted to have plenty of time to get ready. We went to a place at the Bellagio called "Olives". They had some of the best steak I have ever tasted! I knew Lori D. would approve of that beef! It was amazing, and I was stuffed. We had tickets for the Cirque de Soleil show "Zumanity". It was really funny, but pretty racy! Do not get front row tickets unless you are prepared to be embarrassed! </div>

I was wiped out, so we headed back to the room for some shut-eye. On Sunday, I wanted to lay low and let my legs rest, so we ate breakfast and lunch at our hotel. The nerves began kicking in and I had to start getting ready for my race. They shut the strip down, so we had to board a shuttle to take us to the start line. It began to cloud up, and the wind started blowing pretty hard. I felt like I was right at home! We waited for what felt like forever. Finally the announced for us to make our way to our corrals, so I gave Todd a kiss and ventured to my corral. The anticipation was killing me because even though they had started the race, it took 30 minutes for my corral to even get to the start line! I took a deep breath, and began my race. The wind was hard to take for the first mile or so. We made a turnaround past the Las Vegas sign, and then had the wind at our backs and it made all the difference in the world! I was feeling great and began to look for Todd on the course. I was able to spot him on a bridge over Las Vegas Boulevard about mile 3 or 4. I was so excited to see him in the see of people! His beard makes him easily recognizable. The sights of the strip were very cool to see while running.</div>

However, the further up the strip we got, the sketchier it got. I was able to see inside the pawn shop from Pawn Stars, I was cheered on by a drunken tattoo artist and a few homeless people. Normally, I wouldn't have felt safe, but there were plenty of police around. We continued into some residential areas before hitting a turnaround and headed back to the strip. About mile 9, I was starting to lose faith in myself and my muscles, so I started to pray. I asked God for strength to just make it to the finish. Moments later, a fellow runner starting singing, "God is so powerful" over and over again like a chant. She had the most beautiful voice! Godhad sent me the encouragement I needed. I was determined to finish strong. Every time I felt like walking, I reminded myself that I could do this, and that the discomfort was only temporary. I finished in 2:53. My goal was to finish closer to 2:30. Midweek before the race, I came down with a sinus infection. So, considering, I feel like I did well and ran strong. I am pleased with how my body handled the distance. I will try and improve next time! Yes, there will be a next time!</div>

I was able to see Todd from the finish line, but he could not see me. We met up in front of our hotel and I cleaned up for dinner. My feet were sore, so we chose to go back to Sushisamba because it was in our hotel and we didn't have to walk far. As we stepped in the restaurant, I couldn't believe my eyes! I wanted to pass outwhen I saw this guy:</div>

<span dir="auto">Meb Keflezighi! He won the 2009 New York City marathon, and was the first American to do so since 1982! He is an Olympic marathoner, and is a legend in the running world! I restrained myself from bothering him during dinner, but I was just starstruck! It is very cool to see someone that you usually only see in running magazines. He also shares my birthday! So, seeing him was definitely a cool way to end my race weekend. Todd and I were ready to go home, we missed our Bubba terribly!</span></div>

Life has been super busy with half-marathon training! Sorry I haven't posted in a while!<br />
<br />
Friday I got off work early and had to get in my long run for the week. I had to run 10 miles by myself. All of my normal running buddies were working. Sad face. It was mentally the toughest run I have had in a long time. I was on call for the weekend, so I knew I had to get it done on Friday. I had a busy weekend on call, but I survived. Sunday night we had a family supper at great grandma and grandpa Scott's. Brad also made it to town. Briggan enjoyed all the electronics he brought with him.<br />

My niece is here from Wichita for the Thanksgiving holiday, so on Monday we ran away. We had a girl's getaway (with Briggan). We went to Liberal to pick up some essentials and some gun cases for our NWTF chapter. We had lunch at Billy's, a yummy BBQ place. Briggan is obsessed with their potato salad. </div>

After travelling home, my niece offered to help put up my Christmas decorations, so I put her to work! We had a great afternoon trimming and took a break for Sonic happy hour! Love having family in town, and I can't wait until the rest of them get here!<br />

This past weekend we made the long awaited trip to Wichita. Saturday morning was busy! We had family pictures taken at Bradley fair. I never knew there was such pretty scenery behind it! Briggan did great, he is quite a ham!<br />
Grandma watched Briggan so that Todd and I could have a sushi date for lunch. We tried a new place, and it was awesome! I even ventured out and ordered something different! I got the spicy tuna roll, but it was too spicy for me. We also made a trip to Cabela's, which is only a block from Crystal's house. <br />
<br />
Todd's sister Crystal and I have been planning a girls night out since the spring. We got tickets to the Carrie Underwood/Hunter Hayes concert. So Saturday evening we went to Old Town for an early dinner before heading to the concert. Once we made it to the concert we attempted to find our seats. We had to ask for help, and apparently we had premium tickets! We were given access to the Cox lounge in the executive boxes! No waiting in line for drinks! We were pretty pumped about that. Carrie absolutely ROCKED! My new fitness goal is to have legs like hers! We had a great time.<br />
<br />
Sunday morning, I had to do my long run. I had to get 7 miles in. I found a trail that runs along K-96 headed east. Each loop was 3.5 miles, so I just ran the loop twice. It was beautiful weather for it. However, at the end of my run a bird pooped on my head! UGH! Our family had gone out to lunch while I was running, so they brought me food back. At the end of a long run there is nothing better than takeout from Cheddars!<br />
<br />
We made a trip to Babies R Us before heading home to get baby food. With Briggan standing and occasionally trying to walk, we decided he needed a push walker. We found a cute little motorcycle. Now he is motoring all over the house with it! <br />
<br />
Hope everyone has a great Halloween week!<br />
<br />

I ran out of time yesterday to finish my Liebster award post, so here is Part II. I am new to blogging so there are only a few blogs I follow, and only a few were under 200 followers, so the blogs I nominate are<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3cowboysandamommy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">3 cowboys and a mommy</a><br />
<a href="http://ksgraingirl.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Grain Girl</a><br />
<a href="http://candice604.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Candice's Corner</a><br />
<a href="http://iamannekehn.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Pink Momma</a><br />
<br />
I answered the questions from Anne on my previous post, so here are the questions Kelley had for me. I was excited to be nominated by her also!<br />
<br />

I have never heard of this, but here is what it is about.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. You have to list 11 things about yourself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. Answer the questions sent to you from the person who nominated you. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. Choose up to 11 bloggers that you follow with less than 200 followers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. Go to your nominees page and inform them of the award.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. Make 11 questions for your nominees.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. You cannot tag back.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So here goes, eleven things about me:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. I love an adrenaline rush! Hunting and running both supply me with this.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. I am an only child.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. I am a Coca-Cola addict, commit me!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. I am a running clothes hoarder.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. I think Lays potato chips and french onion dip should be an acceptable meal choice.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. If you have $1 Million and you can only spend it for one day, what will you buy? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I would buy my parents a house, buy me a new house and pay off all my debt. I would invest some of it. Then with what is left, I would randomly go and pay things for people. I would love to be able to pay bills for someone that is struggling. I would love to go into a store and randomly pay for someone's groceries, payoff a layaway, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. Who is your childhood superhero?</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. What is your most embarrassing moment?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In high school, I was a cheerleader. We were in Colby at a basketball tournament. I had just opened a new package of bloomers and slipped them on without looking them over. I was tumbling at halftime, and my coach pulled me aside. Everyone could see my bright blue underwear! Upon closer inspection, the bloomers had never been sewn along the seam in the crotch! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Most of you know that I am not the greatest about always being "done up", but when I do, these are the products I love!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVWn6-_VoWluR-uUfh0a1ZRcmTCBOPwehSXZ9MqE-iVKxy0-b4qeVha1CkxvLSeyfE4DCsAOP0G3QxeeHz7xGPQZ6Y8W1-FR9Z0NSkjk5jha6FJtQmaE1yjtYvgp6R1M7935R-MS-H6sgk/s1600/faux+tan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" nea="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVWn6-_VoWluR-uUfh0a1ZRcmTCBOPwehSXZ9MqE-iVKxy0-b4qeVha1CkxvLSeyfE4DCsAOP0G3QxeeHz7xGPQZ6Y8W1-FR9Z0NSkjk5jha6FJtQmaE1yjtYvgp6R1M7935R-MS-H6sgk/s1600/faux+tan.jpg" /></a></div>
This is hands down the most natural looking self tanner out there. I have used it on and off for years. I try other things but I always come back to this. The brush is great because it keeps your hands clean! It is a little more expensive than most self tanners, but worth it in my book!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghQIFZka5uOirZ2QBd-X7AyHdBIVjjgHb50Gn1t9BmPzJWCJeM8bYGkGMGIFkj4AN8vnbXbrdHjERs3Nv13bNTRQMpjSQPZgXDd_vnz5eeSyaaHFXr06SOu0AJDdDu3KlcHggqK5ry-wDY/s1600/mag.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" nea="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghQIFZka5uOirZ2QBd-X7AyHdBIVjjgHb50Gn1t9BmPzJWCJeM8bYGkGMGIFkj4AN8vnbXbrdHjERs3Nv13bNTRQMpjSQPZgXDd_vnz5eeSyaaHFXr06SOu0AJDdDu3KlcHggqK5ry-wDY/s1600/mag.jpg" /></a></div>
I know, you are wondering why I have this on a beauty post. Believe it or not, this is the best mattifier and primer for us oily faced gals. I found out about it during a Youtube makeup video. I didn't believe it myself until I tried it! You just put in on your face with a cotton ball, after moisturizer, but before your foundation.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivfKO1JyjQ_-PNFielMdxX9W25-DXzJhBfQlyUjirQ4KJlC5ZRbi2DVYAPSRtsvuL3ZdWqjldge7iDXcYYPaBDSFmmnaXjqJ59OPReIIZEpHUob_h-8lL7_PIF9WJ6U7FQbtChiJ5j8rYA/s1600/eyes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" nea="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivfKO1JyjQ_-PNFielMdxX9W25-DXzJhBfQlyUjirQ4KJlC5ZRbi2DVYAPSRtsvuL3ZdWqjldge7iDXcYYPaBDSFmmnaXjqJ59OPReIIZEpHUob_h-8lL7_PIF9WJ6U7FQbtChiJ5j8rYA/s1600/eyes.jpg" /></a></div>
My new favorite eyeshadow is the Bare Mineral Ready pallettes. I have always used Bare Mineral loose powder eyeshadows. I love that they came out with these! They are much easier to use and travel with, but the color saturation is still as good as before. My favorite is called "Top Shelf".<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This will always be my "go to" foundation. With oily skin, this is the only foundation that stays put for me. Love it!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnlplClNjsqdBS8gwt4KNKwJ8cJ7OGBu-9RVz9uuWH69ZTLl0NvoMvBZAvHGAhfb5i9ueiWvIt5OABiEfIJJHwUnhH64KdFL9zRPIG1YEXqJKgM8tmYF_iuFiecZe5TFz6Z2J0Mq_Os73g/s1600/lip.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" nea="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnlplClNjsqdBS8gwt4KNKwJ8cJ7OGBu-9RVz9uuWH69ZTLl0NvoMvBZAvHGAhfb5i9ueiWvIt5OABiEfIJJHwUnhH64KdFL9zRPIG1YEXqJKgM8tmYF_iuFiecZe5TFz6Z2J0Mq_Os73g/s1600/lip.jpg" /></a></div>
My favorite lipstick will always be Clinique Butter Shine. It is a hybrid between a gloss and lipstick. It has great color saturation of a lipstick, but the shine and shimmer of a gloss. My biggest pet peeve is sticky lip products, and this is not. It lives up to it's name. It literally feels like butter!<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nars Orgasm blush will be the blush I use forever! It is a perfect blend of peach and pinks, and has enough gold shimmer to make you "glow". It is a color that looks great on everybody!</div>

I am almost always wearing a ponytail, but these are great for creating all kinds of styles. My inspiration comes from Youtube! I have really thick, long hair and these two pins can hold a bun in place. They just twist in, and they can hold my hair all day. I love using them for a messy side bun.

This is my favorite product for backcombing my hair. It just takes a little bit, dusted into your roots. Then it acts as a gripper as you backcomb. I love BIG hair! As they say, "the higher the hair, the closer to heaven!"
<br />
<br />
I hope I didn't bore you to death with my beauty routine! I just love to see what people use and love, and sometimes I venture out and find new things! <br />
<br />
Have a great week everyone!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05188882570215780393noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1037050099802602474.post-36499735693408357392012-10-07T18:40:00.005-07:002012-10-07T19:15:04.043-07:00Pumpkin Patch!We had quite an eventful weekend at the Miller house. Briggan stayed the night at Grandma Miller's for the first time on Friday night. We are doing some trial run nights before we leave for Las Vegas at the end of November. I am running the Las Vegas Half-Marathon and we will be gone for 4 days. So, to prepare myself we had to do a trial run. It was hard on this mommy! Briggan did fine of course, but I bawled as I was driving away. Todd took me to Antlers in Moscow for supper to try and take my mind off things. We had a nice evening out.<br />
<br />
Saturday morning, I ran a local 5k here in town. It was a fundraiser for our local animal response team, and dogs were welcome to participate as well. It was wet, cold, and miserable. My running however, was great! Once I started running, I warmed up to the perfect temperature. I was able to hold a nice even pace, and I took second place! I even won a pedicure kit from Avon as a door prize. Score!<br />
<br />
Sunday, we went to church. Briggan did so well, I did not have to take him to nursery! I think he was enthralled with the music. Sunday afternoon we made a trip to the local pumpkin patch. The sun was starting to peek out from the clouds and it warmed up. We had a great time, and then headed back to town. We came up on a rollover accident on the same curve I had my wreck on in 2002. Talk about deja vu! Thankfully the young couple were wearing their seatbelts, and were able to walk away! Praise God for that! We stayed with them until the ambulance and police got there, and then we headed home. Here are some photos from that trip: <br />

Briggan has gained lots of speed crawling, and is now pulling up to standing on a lot of things. I put him in his crib while I ran his bathwater, and this is what I came back to.<br />

The temps are dropping and the leaves are turning. I have never done a favorite things post, so here it is.<br />
<br />
I fell in love with my friend <a href="http://www.3cowboysandamommy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Kelley</a> 's boots. I searched high and low for these perfect fall boots. Sadly, they are sold out everywhere. So after much searching, I found a <a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?hl=en&authuser=0&biw=1024&bih=571&tbm=isch&tbnid=1TXXF5DQZAn3-M:&imgrefurl=http://kneebootie.in/antique-tan-leather-clarks-womens-mascarpone-mix-boots/&docid=aBzACqaJtYy6EM&imgurl=http://kneebootie.in/images/Antique-Tan-Leather-Clarks-Womens-Mascarpone-Mix-Boots-.jpg&w=350&h=350&ei=FJRsULXyC4SMqQHs4YGQCQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=625&vpy=191&dur=312&hovh=225&hovw=225&tx=113&ty=167&sig=101801554790942448662&page=1&tbnh=123&tbnw=114&start=0&ndsp=14&ved=1t:429,r:4,s:0,i:89" target="_blank">pair</a> I liked almost as well. I ordered them and fell in love with them when they came in. I base what I am wearing to go with the boots! I want to wear them everyday!<br />

My next favorite fall thing is Chai Lattes. OMG they are so good, and most are caffeine free, which is good for this nursing momma. <br />

I rarely drink because I am still nursing, but when I do I drink Barefoot wine. It is awesome stuff that isn't outrageously expensive.</div>

I love the smell of fall at my house, and for that I use my Scentsy warmers. My favorite fall scent is pumpkin roll!<br />

Last, but not least, my favorite thing about fall is comfort food in the crockpot! My favorite recipes are roast, chili, white chicken chili, chicken enchilada soup, ham and beans, etc. And I wonder why I always struggle with my weight ;) <br />

We had a nice relaxing weekend at home. Daddy went hunting and we cleaned out Bubba's toybox and closet. He had a great time in the toys! Later, mom and dad came over to watch Briggan so that I could do a long run with Kelley and Amanda. He had a great time with them, and mommy got her run in! A double bonus!<br />
<br />
Have a great week friends!<br />

He has begun to crawl a few steps at a time, but has yet to get brave enough to go beyond that. We have a little bit of rough week, Briggan was sick early in the week with a cough, then his other front tooth decided to make an appearance! Poor baby! Praying next week is better! Here is a quick video of Briggan working on his skills.<br />

Well friends, I did it! I got my buck on opening day! Briggan is teething, and we had a horrible night, so when the alarm went off Monday morning, I was dragging a little. 4 hours of sleep is not enough! So we got out to the stand and did not have to wait long. After first light, my buck came in. Boy, was my adrenaline pumping. He presented a shot, so I took it.......and I was holding my bow so tight that I skipped an arrow across his back. He ran a short distance but decided to come back in. This is RARE. Most people will never get a second shot at a deer, but he gave me another chance. He presented me with another broadside shot, and I nailed him. He ran about 20 yds. and that was it. I was super pumped! The really neat thing is that Todd got the whole thing on video. It was nice to watch it all again. It will also be neat to show Briggan some day. It is always nice to get a deer, but then the real work begins. We process all the meat ourselves, so we have a busy couple of days ahead! It is worth it though for deer jerky!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05188882570215780393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1037050099802602474.post-85337985651457750052012-09-15T18:42:00.000-07:002012-09-15T18:42:05.831-07:00A girl with pink arrows.....<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

It is that time of year again my friends.....hunting season! Buck fever has bitten me again. I am really looking forward to hunting this year un-pregnant! That's right, I hunted up until 32 weeks preggo last year. This year it will be much more comfortable sitting in a treestand! I am excited because I actually have opening day off this year, and Todd took off the whole week. I am going to have to make my time in the stand count, because there will be less of it. Somebody has to watch the baby :) Soon enough though, I'm sure Briggan will be in his own deer stand!<br />
<br />
We have a busy weekend planned. I'm running the Fiesta 5k and 2mile race in Garden City Saturday morning, then coming home to get hunting things organized and ready. Then we are off to a birthday party, and Sunday I'm on call and we have family getting baptised! Whew, I'm glad I have Monday off to recover!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05188882570215780393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1037050099802602474.post-63896554120581874972012-09-12T09:18:00.001-07:002012-09-12T09:18:38.156-07:00Sleep.....I'm finally getting some!

Well I am happy to report that we have had one successful week of Ferber training! My baby is finally sleeping like a normal kid should, and so is mommy! I will admit, the first night was extremely hard. My friend <a href="http://3cowboysandamommy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Kelley Baker</a> helped me get through it and I am so thankful for her support. I was texting her like mad, I just needed to be reassured that I was doing the right thing. Thanks Kelley for your support! It is amazing how much having a well rested family can do for your outlook on life! <br />

We had a great time just relaxing with family. We went on walks, and went to Monument Rock. This was a very sleep deprived weekend however, and mommy had enough! So, as soon as we got home we began Ferber sleep training. I am happy to report my little man has made it two nights in a row sleeping through the night! Hopefully it will continue! We have a busy weekend ahead, I have a race on Saturday morning, and we are painting our house finally! I would love to use Sunday to recover, but I'm on call. Have a great weekend everyone!<br />

Hello everyone! Briggan and I made the trip to Wichita on Thursday evening after work. We were very excited to see Crystal and the family! We really didn't have anything planned per se, just a lazy weekend. Crystal had to work on Friday and the kids had school, so Briggan and I went shopping! He needed some jeans and shoes for fall, and mommy needed a Sephora and sushi fix! I have been on a quest for a while to find the perfect red lipstick. I have been told by several that it looks good on me, but I hate when it looks like clown red! So Sephora came to the rescue and I found my perfect red....."Shanghai Express" by NARS. Love it! Friday night, Crystal highlighted my hair and also my friend Timberli's hair. We had pizza, wine, and lots of laughs. It is such a great feeling to be in the company of family and friends. </div>

I came home on Saturday evening for a BBQ with friends. They ordered elk,bison,frog legs, Kobe beef, and other exotic meats. It was a beautiful day, and we spread out a blanket in the grass for all of the babies to play. However, when I got home I found that my husband had been redecorating...........he repainted our upstairs bathroom. </div>

So...now my current decor no longer matches the paint. So what is a girl to do? She loads up baby and her momma and heads to TARGET! We still need to redo the floor and overhaul the cabinet, but it is looking better. Whew! I need a rest day from my weekend!</div>

I was able to play around with my new camera some, and I am getting more comfortable with it. I ordered a new lens that is great for close-up portraits. I am really enjoying learning new tricks!</div>
