football starts tonight....are y'all die hard football people?  i'm not going to lie, it does nothing for me.  i have no problem however partaking in a good tailgating experience :)  that being said, my husband is a football person and he has given his love for the game directly to my daughter....who sports orange very proudly.  i hope y'all have a wonderful holiday weekend!!

five weeks ago, i decided that i needed to start running again.  i was having a hard time balancing things: the summer with the kids home, building a house, my work load and working from home (which is currently a 2 bedroom apt).  so i decided to hit the pavement.  the first day, i ran 3 miles and have continued ever since.  but saturday, warren decided we were going to run 6 miles.....i thought i was going to die.  but i made it.  there is nothing better then the feeling you get when you reach your front door after a run....knowing that you set out to do something and you completed it.  the one thing that gets me through my run is my playlist...here are some of my fav's in case you need some motivation:

Here's to Never Growing Up Avril Lavigne
Die Young Ke$ha
Same Love Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
All of the Lights Kayne
Feel this Moment Pittbull

any i should add??!!  hope y'all are doing wonderful!!

i just got back from a week long beach vacay with my hubbie's fam.  while some people would roll their eyes to a week w/ the in-laws, i am one of the fortunate few who loves hers.  i love watching my children play with their cousins, sitting at the beach relaxing (just kidding, you cannot relax at the beach when you have young children), eating great meals, and rocking on the screen porch with a glass of wine in hand.  it's always so sad when it ends.....
