Life Changing...Should I or Not?

It's been 6 weeks since hubby lost his job. He has had some great networking opportunities and even had a job interview. Well the one and only job interview turned into 2 interviews and then an offer! Yeah! RIGHT!

There is only ONE HUGE problem, this opportunity for him will have us moving to a new state. That is so scary for me. How do you make a life decision like that? How will my kids react? Can I leave my career and family for this really great opportunity? I have so many thoughts right now, I can't even explain how I am feeling.

With all of this, I still need to take photos of my kids and just maybe there will be a Happy New Year card instead of a Christmas one. I've been so bad at that lately....photo taking opportunities that is.

Need Some New Wheels or Skis?

Oh the weather outside is about to turn frightful and I am in denial. So, don't let it snow, no snow, NO SNOW!!!

I would be EXCITED for this if I didn't have big travel plans. I've had these conference plans since September. I am going to Chicago for a 2 day conference with a super good friend and teacher.

They are predicting 6-12 inches of snow for my area. I really don't want to drive in this kind of stuff. It would take about 90 minutes to drive on a normal day....I can't imagine with this kind of snow. I'll just wait and see what happens.

We are staying in a hotel, doing some shopping, going out to dinner, and chatting. Oh, I can't forget learning new things too.

Then, after the snow hits, we will be slammed with yucky COLD temps. Like highs in the teens. Welcome to winter and it hasn't officially began!

NO more...MUST have WILL power

I need to stop eating chocolate. Lately I can't get enough of the stuff. I crave it constantly! I need to have self control and STOP!!! Dark chocolate is my new found favorite.

I ran the Turkey 10K race last Thursday. It was COLD, RAINY, and WINDY here in Wisconsin. I finished it and beat my time last year by 45 seconds!! That's a start. I want to run the Jingle Race this weekend, but the weather is suppose to just suck. I want to beat my PR time for a 5K and beat my arch rival too! He is driving me nuts!!

Maybe Santa will bring me a crystal ball for Christmas. I really want to know what our family's future will be.....

I also need to take pictures for Christmas and this blog! UGH!!!

A Bouquet of Things

I haven't updated my photos on my blog in forever. That is my goal this weekend. I am going to put some recent photos of the family on here. I've been such a slacker.

I could blame Facebook since I am on that darn thing every night. I like to read people's updates and am addicted to Bejeweled Blitz and Farmville. My husband thinks I am a nut when I tell him I have to farm or I will lose my crops and money.

Oldest daughter is headed to New Moon tonight. To be completely honest, I don't have a huge desire to see it. I had a rough time getting through the book. Maybe I should give it another try.

I am excited to run the Turkey Day run in my town. I am doing the 10K (6.2 miles). My only goal is to beat my time from last year. I am also signing up to do another half marathon in May. I hope training inside most of the winter isn't that horrible. I just HATE running on a treadmill. I went and did it yesterday and I felt like 25 minutes was an hour.

I've been so into wine lately. Thanks to Hairbows and Guitar Picks for her weekly wine post. I am already looking forward to having some this evening.

Cheers to a great weekend!

This Stuff Is the Bomb!!

This stuff is the best popcorn EVER in a bag! I picked some up at Walmart about a month ago and now I am addicted to this stuff. Just looking at this bag is making me hungry for it. Not only is there the Kettlecorn flavor, but there are other spicier flavors.

I can sit down and eat half the bag without realizing it. I don't even bother looking at the calories of this stuff. I figure I work out enough it doesn't matter. In fact, I ate the last of it last night....looks like I'll be stopping in at Wally World tonight for a little fix before I watch 90210 tonight.

Sisters, Well Almost

A day at the park. It was like Indian Summer around here this weekend. My sister tookher daughterand my youngest to have some fun. She took the most precious pictures of these 2 girls. They are best cousins. Her slideshow had me in tears. These girls are like sisters. That is why we just can't move away.

Keeping the Faith

On my way into work this morning I knew I should of turned off the song "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus. I was crying like a nut! It made me think of our current situation and the mountain my husband is climbing right now to do what is needed for our family. He is doing such a phenomenal job getting his resume up to date. I read it over and I would hire him. The things I didn't know about his career came to light when I read the information. Wow, is what I have to say! The things he has accomplished in his career over the last 20 years are amazing!

I need to do the same because that mountain may be something I have to climb and I will keep the faith and keep climbing.

There is an interview on the horizon...next week in fact, but all I have to say is I will climb that mountain later! :)

Darn...the tears may come again!
