Anti-Depression Video

I posted this on my Facebook Page, but thought I would post it on my blog as well for those of you who don't have Facebook. This video will make your day, in fact it almost makes me want to have quadruplets just so I could experience moments like this...

Wes

WARNING: Lots of PDA in the following post, stop now if you don't want to become "love-sick".
Most of you know Wes and some of you know him pretty well, but no one knows him as well as I do.:) So let me tell you a little bit about what you might or might not know...

1. Wes is an AMAZING cook- he definitely has me beat and I'm okay with that because I would much rather clean up than cook.
2. Wes is always trying to do better. Every time he comes home from a church meeting he says, "I can do better." Yet in my book he has most things in order and is doing great, but thankfully he is humble, a quality I lack and am learning from him.
3. Wes is the BEST Dad...well at least I think so and so do his kids.:) If you could only see the way his boys watch out the window as he leaves in the morning, only to return to the same spot to wait for him to come home. Steele's reaction is the best, he literally runs to Wes screaming,"Daaaddyyy" the whole way until he reaches Wes' arms. It's the highlight of my day to see my children and husband so happy.
4. Wes is a romantic. Let's just say the honeymoon isn't over.:)
5. Wes is a great friend. Every where we go people know him and love him! I'll never forget one of his friends telling me that I had the "coolest" husband. I agree.
6. Wes is a dreamer. He always has big ideas and big plans. Who knows, maybe some day he will be made famous by making drums or playing them. Either way, I fully support his dreams.
7. Wes LOVES UFC. In fact he is watching a fight as I am writing this, otherwise we would be watching Law and Order together here at home.
8. Wes is a teacher, but not just any teacher a PE teacher on the reservation. That is not an easy job, but he works hard and is providing a great life for his little family.
9. Wes likes to sleep. This shows his relaxed side and although it was hard for me to get used to at first, I enjoy taking naps whenever possible. (I was never a napper before I met Wes.)
10. Wes loves me. I know this because he shows me and tells me every day! I'm a lucky girl!

Those are just a few of the MANY qualities of my amazing husband. Thank goodness we have forever together because I don't know what I would do without him. So here's a shout out to Wes... I love you, I love you, I love you.

Big Plans

Lily will be 3 weeks old tomorrow which means it's about time that I start working out again. Wes and I decided that this time around part of our workout schedule will be a training program for a half-marathon. There is a half-marathon on January 30 in Queen Creek that we plan on doing, it's called the London Run, check out the website- www.londonsrun.org.
I'm questioning whether or not I can get back into running shape in 5 months, but it's been so long since I've trained for anything that I really want to try. Plus, Wes said he would do it with me and I can't pass up having a running partner.
So with that said training starts tonight. This first few weeks Wes and I will only be walking, but after that we have a somewhat rigorous training schedule that will look something like this...
