Marielle’s first day of school

-

Marielle’s first day was just after labor day, but I’ve been such a bad blogger I never posted anything about it. I hope to make time to blog more from now on!

The best part of the first day was when she came home and we were talking about her day. She is eating a snack and says, “Mom, they call me ‘Mar-rielle’ (as in ‘Mar’ rhyming with ‘far’), not Marielle (‘Mary-elle’ how we pronounce it).” I grabbed my phone and tried to make her say it again on video, but it wasn’t as good as the first time. Here is our re-enactment:

The next school day, she did ask her teacher to pronounce it correctly. I was so proud of her going up to her teacher and correcting her. Mrs. Rachael put her in the car the next day and apologized for saying it wrong. I told her it was no big deal, I just wanted Marielle to tell her instead of me doing it for her. 2 points for Marielle!!

Run. I ran on the treadmill finally today, for the first time since I got pregnant with Marielle. I have been working out on and off since I was 19. I was in college and I noticed that I was out of shape since playing high school volleyball (that first year of college may have also contributed to my out-of-shapeness) and decided to join a gym. I got a trainer and had a few workouts and I stuck with it pretty well through college. When I met Jon, he worked out as well, so it was easy for me to keep up with it. When we got married, we both worked out (usually) 4 days a week. We would get up at 5:00 and go to our separate gyms (I go to an all women’s gym) Monday through Thursday. I even continued to work out all through out my pregnancy with Marielle, but I couldn’t run from the very beginning. When I found out I was pregnant, I kept working out just as hard as usual and started spotting, so I quit running and eased up on my workouts. That was about October or November of 2007. Afte...

A friend in need.

I have a friend. An old friend. A funny friend. A favorite friend. Her name is Jaime Marrs. She was one of my 5 friends at my actual wedding and has been such a fun part of my life. I met Jaime just before my sophomore year in high school, probably in the summertime when we started practicing volleyball. She was a freshman who made the team, but man, what I remember most about her was her attitude. It's not so much that she had a bad attitude, it was that she always had a scowl on her face. I didn't like her. She didn’t talk much and didn’t smile. And she was dating one of the hottest seniors. How dare her? Anyway, one day she didn't have a ride home from volleyball practice. I was riding home with Jill, and Jill offered her a ride. On this ride we talked and laughed and I realized that this scowled-faced girl was pretty funny. I guess the rest is history because Jaime became one of my best friends throughout the rest of high school, through college, through kids, and sti...
