November 2011

As I did for October, I will fly through the month of November with pictures and captions. Enjoy!

A little creative crafting!! Yep, that’s a flip-flop made from a cracker box! They lasted about 2 hours, but it burned up some time in the day. (Ignore those 3 freakishly long toes.) (Actually, how can you ignore them now? Look at them and know that I am a total klutz, and I blame those 3 freakish toes, on each foot. Sorry Marielle, I couldn’t not pass them on.)

A little snuggling with baby Griffin.

More crafting – I made a “Go Fish” game from another cracker box. It is really helping Marielle learn some numbers, 1-12.

A little one night trip to New Orleans, for just me and Jon. We checked out the WWII Museum, a little French Quarter, a wonderful dinner, and of course, Pat O’s piano bar.

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...
