As time quickly passes so does my chance to write here. So many hours of work and school and cooking and cleaning and exercise. Thankfully the weather has been 70 for the last few days and sunny too! After April 12th I will officially have 3 classes left and a practicum and internship to do before I graduate with my MA. There is light at the end of this tunnel! Andy is continuing to grow and succeed in his business as well. God has blessed us. We are healthy.

I thought I would post some recent birthday pictures: Above is my new nephew the day he was born (March 8). Also my dad's birthday was on March 10 and we celebrated the day after for his 60th at Bucca de Beppos.

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!

I know, I shouldn't be shocked especially since I wrote the last post... IT IS SNOWING OUTSIDE.... I AM NOT KIDDING! YESTERDAY IT WAS 70 degrees out. It was only supposed to drop down to 45 or so but instead IT IS SNOWING! I said it before and I'll say it again. This weather here is RIDICULOUS!

IN A TWO WEEK SPAN

From a blizzard to rain. From an earthquake to a tornado. From -8 degrees to 70 degrees. ALL IN A TWO WEEK SPAN. It's no wonder that 1/2 the people I know are sick that live around here. This Ohio weather is ridiculous!

At the time of this video my nephew was just past 2 years old. The fact that he has 4 older siblings must definitely influence his abilities at a young age.

Works for Me Wednesday

I was inspired by Shannon's post of Karate to include what I do for exercise. Since I live in Ohio, I can never expect to have nice warm, sunny days every morning to take a brisk walk in. One day it's a blizzard and the next it is raining. A few months ago I invested 29.95 (I used a 50% off coupon) for a computer game called Dance Praise. It is amazing. It is like DDR but using popular Christian songs. There is no profanity. On this program you hook up a mat to your USB port in your computer and you're good to go. You dance to the music and score points depending on how many times you step on the right spot at the right time. There are several different ways to play and they even have an exercise program. You can also play against a friend if you get an extra mat. It is a great indoor exercise. To me it works a little like Jazzercise because you're dancing to the music (except you'd have to add your own warmups and cool downs and/or weights). I figure even if I did have to pay the full price it still would equal about one month of any of those exercise gyms (not that they're bad but you do have to drive there). My family and friends love it too!

Works-For-Me Wednesday

For the special kitchen edition of WFMW I would like to give an alternative way to clean the counters... espcially the wooden cutting boards. Since my hubby likes to stay away from using chemicals, I have discovered from doing research that vinegar cleans surfaces as well and if not better than most anti-bacterial sprays. I just splash a bit over the counters and wipe away. This is a great way to keep chemicals away from our bodies... as well as little ones who might like to get them out of cupboards. The little ones can't get into the chemicals if there aren't any there :)

I saw this on the beach and had to capture a picture of this. Speechless I am!
