I am so blessed!

Good Morning, my friends!

  Did you all get a lot of snow last night? We did! The kiddos are out of school today, so I get to spend the day snowed in with my sweet boys!
 Speaking of sweet boys...
This cutie patootie turned 15 yesterday! I have got to say, I am SO blessed to have the best stepsons in the whole world. They came into my life when they were 6 and 7. I can't believe how fast time has flown by! We connected from the very first time we met, and we've always had a great relationship. I just adore my boys and I'm SO blessed that they are in my life!


Today I am featured on the lovely Jesica's blog, at Runladylike. She has a series called Friday Fitspiration where she features inspiring stories. I am so happy she chose to feature me today! Check it out!


 Tomorrow is my long run day! 18 miles! Am I a little twisted because I look forward to my long runs more than almost anything??
 Well, not more than my upcoming cruise on Wednesday!!!

What are your plans for the weekend?

    1. Thanks, Carie! Although now it looks like I'm getting snowed in, and I don't know if 18 miles is possible on the treadmill! But I'll do my best!
      Oh, I can't wait to get away from this awful weather. Hopefully when I come back in a week, it'll be Spring. ;)

  3. I will be heading out to PA this weekend to hangout with one of my oldest friends and her family. We will be going to the crayola factory and I must say I think I am more excited than her 7 year old LOL
