And...We're Back!

It has been a while.  So lets catch up!  

Over the last two years I have been going to school, taking care of the fur-babies, and having a adventure filed life with the hubby!  I found that with the amount of school work as well as trying to keep up with training and life in general, it was too much to keep the writing going.  

Thankfully, that time is over.  School is done, and the adventures are beginning again (not to say that school wasn't an adventure in itself, but I think you know what I mean). So while this will be a short post, I'll post some pics of what we've been up to over the past couple years. 

And of course...I am already working on the next post!  Here's some pics of a couple things that we've been up to!  Have fun!

We added a cute little kitty in 2014.  May I present Ralf!  He got trapped in the engine of my car and after taking out the bottom panel and somehow getting him out...we just had to keep him...I mean, look at that face!

Oscar remains the King of the household.  While this round of dress up did not result in stitches or bitting, he has made it clear that it will not happen again.

As always, Sam keeps on running.  She had a wonderful time in 2013 in the snow, running back up in New York at her home away from home.  She has so much fun playing with her brothers Oscar and Ralph!

In 2013 I participated in the Iredell County Sweet 16 Racing Series over the summer.  The series consisted of 16 weeks of Tuesday Night 5K's that started in May and went through the end of August.  It was the first time I had won anything, but I think the real win (even though they gave me a medal and a trophy) was the people I met along the way and the fact that Statesville now has a tough running community!

Chris had a solid year racing the #55 in both 2013 and 2014.  In 2013, the car debuted and raced some of the races up in Oswego, but in 2014, with the help of the commitment program, the Osetek Technology team #55 made all races and even placed in the top 10 several times!  We're looking forward to the upcoming 2015 year!

All through 2013 and 2014 I continued to get my homework done and keep going.  Ralph often came and sat with me over 2014 while I did my homework.  Maybe he earned a degree also!  Really though, it was tough.  Full time work and full time school was really taxing, but thankfully being surrounded by some awesome people helped me through it.

Chris and I continued as we always will, to make our home ours.  With our three animals, a race car, running, school, helping with robotics teams, working, taking up the carpet and putting down hardwood floors, getting both a new car and truck as well as keeping the faith that no matter what if we don't give up or give in, we will reach our goals, we had fun and worked hard.

Oh yeah...And I FINISHED SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I now have a Masters of Science in Nutrition and Wellness.
Nothing else needs to be said here :)

As always, I'll keep the adventures coming, and will be posting again soon!  I hope you have enjoyed the pictures of things that we have been up to over the past couple years.  I'll write again soon!
