Just when your almost there, when your at the finish line ready to cross the line *POW* you open your eyes and your back at the start line. Life sure has a funny way in showing what you’re sought out to do in this world. Left? Right? Straight? Which way is the best, you really never know until you made your way though the ups and the downs. Just then is when you realize you should have gone left, but no one can go though life looking back and regretting the decisions they’ve made. It’s hard to accept responsibility for the road we choose. The thing to remember is that it’s YOUR life and YOUR the only one who can change it.
---- Life can also be a bowl of cherries with whip cream and apple pie

Update
I think it’s about time I update this blog. Jon and I were able to get out for a little holiday about a week ago. We both needed a break from the regular routine that we have up here. We showed up a day early and surprised a few people. It was nice to see my grandfather (Nonno) home from the hospital. There’s a long recovery road ahead but he’s taking each day as it comes. I know hospitals are there to help you get better but it seems like they suck the life right out of some people.. Jon’s sister Keri also came home from the hospital and she’s on a lengthy but productive recovery.
I would like to take a minute and send my thoughts and prayers out to the Neima family. We lost a great man dear to all our hearts. I only met Papa a few times but he was full of life and he lived it to the fullest. He had so much love and passion for everything he did. He defiantly left his footprints in my heart and he will never be forgotten. R.I.P Papa.
While we were in Winnipeg we purchased an elliptical. YAY! We’re still waiting for it to arrive up here but I’m hoping for it to be here in the next week if everything goes as planned. But as life seems to prove that statement wrong time and time again, I’m not going to count the chickens before their hatched. My goal is to do 30 minutes a day with a 1 day break in between. I’m also thinking in buying the Jillian Michaels set and becoming a member on her site. I’ve been looking though it and she guarantees it. $4.00 and day $124.00 a month...that part I’m still debating we will see how the motivation comes, and with a wedding creeping up fast I need to tighten up this a$$! We don’t have a scale so it will be good not to have the temptation to step on it after every workout!
We got snow here and I’m pretty sure it’s here to stay. I know it was bound to happen. The only parts I dislike about winter are the short days. I love the day light. I think it would be nice if the summer and winters up here were reversed. LONG days with lots of sunlight in the winter and shorter days in the summer. *sigh* Mother Nature can’t keep all of us happy....
Have a wonderful day.

Inspired
I got this e-mail yesterday, it's one of those things that when you read it you become inspired in a whole new way. Let me know what you thought.
The Story A son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?' The father who, despite having a heart condition said 'yes.' They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying 'yes' to his son's request of going through the race together.. One day, the son asked his father, 'Dad, let's join the Ironman together.' To which, his father said 'yes' too. For those who don't know, the Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever. The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometers) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometers) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometers) marathon along the coast of the Big Island . The father and son went on to complete the race together.
This is the Link to the video, Take a look and listen to the words.

YummY!
This evening for supper I made this super yummy recipe.
COOK pasta (I made it with penne) as directed on package. Meanwhile, cook and stir chicken in large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat 5 min. or until chicken is done.
ADD vegetables and salsa (you can use mild/med/hot); cook on medium heat 3 min. or until heated through. ( I made it with frozen veggies and it turn out jsut as good. If you do make it with frozen veggies, then add the veggies and cook until soft, then add salsa)
DRAIN pasta. Add to skillet with cheese; stir until cheese is melted.
Done! Enjoy!

..changing colors
Well week 2 of work is almost complete, hopefully its a slow weekend that I can put up my feet, pop in a good movie and drink some yummy tea. I watched the hanna montana movie a couple days ago I was surprise how good it was. It's one of those movies you can just curl up on the couch with a warm comfy blanket and relax. Rascal Flatts, Tailor Swift, Billy Raye, and Miley are all in the movie. Some pretty good tunes as well. I would def. recommend grabing this movie on a rainy day.
The leafs are changing colors and i'm starting to feel the chill outside. I'm hoping to get out to capture some of the beauty, I love how each season tells a story. With each color, each leaf, each rain drop, each sun kissed cheek, and even when the wind blows, another page is fliped.

Thanks to everyone that left comments. I'm not sure what changed but so far so good. He hasn't caused any issues. Its crazy how they know whats going on when things are happening. Jon's on nights right now and I'm on days. So when I get up and leave in the morning, hes so sad when i leave. He gives me those puppy eyes, I dont want to leave because he acts like such a suck, all he wants to do is cuddle. I know i know i'm a softy when it comes to that! shessh they can read us all like a book!
