Running Game
I'm back in the running game friends.
On Thursday, my school had our first annual running club kick off at Fleet Feet sports in The Woodlands. I'm so excited to be heading up this new and exciting club at Snyder. I'm also excited for cooler weather so I can start running again. I picked these beauties up at Fleet Feet and I am hoping I love them as much as my beloved Vibram Five Fingers. Updates to come hopefully.

Meat Meet 2013
Today our friends the Soeders hosted a get together called Meat Meet. It was a fun get together and an excuse for me to attempt to make porkchops which I normally steer clear of because I always end up drying them out
Well they weren't perfect, but they were pretty good. I wish I would've take a picture before they were devoured, but I was so excited I didn't burn them or undercook them that I just ran with it.
Oven Roasted Porkchops
Brine for 2 days:
Lime juice
Apple juice
Vinegar (apple cider or red wine)
Let sit for 10 minutes
Salt, pepper, garlic salt
Sear on both sides 2 minutes each
Bake in oven at 350 for 20 minutes.
Yummmmm
We also got a chance to hang out with some friends from college and their kiddos. Such a great day!

Days gone by
Ellie,
You are now 21 months old. It's hard for me to tell people you are 1 because you are definitely not a 1 year old. I can't tell people you are 2, because well, you aren't quite there yet. It's kind of like that Britney Spears song, your not a baby, not yet a kid.
Every day is filled with your smiles, silly songs, and laughter. I could not ask for a better daughter than you. You truly complete me.
Today was one of the first days in months where you didn't get a good nap. You napped for maybe 15 minutes in the car on the way to our friends' house and were a trooper all day long. God, you are such a great little girl.
Tonight, you were tired but wanted to keep coloring with Mommy. I took away your crayons and you would have thought that the world ended. You threw a full on fit. I was able to wrestle you into my lap and lay you down and you focused on a movie (Cars 2) for a few minutes before drifting off.
Holding you in my arms and listening to you sleep is always the highlight of my day, but it has been happening more and more infrequently lately. One day very soon you won't want to snuggle with mommy on the couch and fall asleep. No, you'll be too big
for that. But for now you are still my baby and I will soak up as many nights like this as I can.
I love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living, my baby you'll be.

Well, hello there.
Maybe just maybe, I'll start blogging again. Maybe. For now I'm insanely busy being a 2nd grade Math/Science teacher, being the Room Mom for Ellie's preschool, selling Scentsy, taking Ellie to swim lessons, starting the Stallion Running Club at my new school, oh and being a mom and wife full time as well. I've been busy before, but never, ever, ever this busy. In a good way. I love my life.

A year and a half later...
And I STILL absolutely love my OB. Here is the beautiful Dr. D and Ellie at my appointment yesterday. Visiting with her actually makes me want to get pregnant again so we can see her more often! :)
