Life for the past few months

Hi everyone!

Sorry I have been away for so long! A lot has happened in the past few weeks.

First, Aaron and I went to Disney World. Aaron, my Aunt Deb, and I had it all planned as a surprise to my other Aunt and her family. We had to plan and keep secrets for months! It was hard, but we pulled it off and the surprise was such a great success! We had a blast spending some wonderful time with family!

Not more than a week after we got home, my Grandfather passed away. We took and emergency trip home to MI for the memorial. Such a sad time turned into such a blessing. We got to share wonderful memories of Grandpa as a family. It was a reminder of what we have and what to be thankful for.

Then Thanksgiving came, since we had used the remainder of our vacation days to go home to be with family, we had our own little Thanksgiving. This included sleeping in, eating a HEALTHY dinner and watching movies together...spending quality time together :)

We also found a great new hobby...Hiking, we love it! At first we started slow, once up Kennesaw Mtn. Making a few stops along the way. Now we are able to go up the mtn at a steady pace stopping once half way then at the top. On our Thanksgiving venture we decided to be brave. We hiked Kennesaw Mtn AND Little Kennesaw Mtn. Yes, that is right two Mtns in one day. Needless to say we were exhausted.

We are still on our venture of trying to be more healthy and active. I read about someone starting a program called Couch to 5K. I looked into it and we have decided to give it a try. It is a way to ease your self in to a running routine. We are on week one and are "enjoying" it so far. We are realising that we really like being outside and being active together. I am lucky to have such a wonderful and encouraging husband!!

Well that turned into quite the update :)
