Getting Fit

 
This weekend was full of fun and plenty of Olympics viewing for Kyle and I - even though we were apart for most of it. He was attending a wedding at Grand Lake while I was in Hennessey throwing a baby shower for one of my childhood friends. It was a good time.

One of my low points was watching all of those perfect Olympian six packs. It just reminded me yet again that I am SO not fit! I would probably be in better shape if synchronized swimming was still a part of the Olympic games. My cousins and I used to train for that in Grandpa's pool, and we had a pretty good routine if I don't say so myself. I'm sure we'd be in London right now if this world was just. But I digress...

Earlier this month I had a health assessment for my insurance at work. It was a very eventful day, and I MAY have passed out from the finger prick (Yet again. Heaven help me!). However, as I was coming to and looking at my results, I realized I am in the ideal category for everything but nutrition and exercise. Go figure! Now that my age is catching up to me, I better start paying attention to things like this before it's too late. I think your genes only carry you so far. So tomorrow morning, I am getting up to exercise for the first time in a LONG time. Here's to hoping I can stay on top of it. At least I know I'll have good motivation for the next few weeks, anyway!

I didn't get many pictures of the shower, so here's a little video of Asher. He was supposed to be in bed but came downstairs because he wasn't tired. Mom let him stay up to watch team USA during the opening ceremonies.

    We would totally be in London right now if synchronized swimming was still a part of the Olympics. I'm sure we'd be gold medalists!

Chi-town Shenanigans

The Tuesday before last, I left for a trip to Chicago. The annual ADRP conference was there this year and while I've been in the past, this year was different because our ENTIRE team went. There were seven of us in all, and we had so much fun together! Chicago is a place I've never really been dying to visit. I haven't been opposed, it just wasn't on the top of my list. However, after going there, I definitely want to go back. It's a very clean city and there is so much to do and so many wonderful things to see. Kyle and I will have to plan a trip there some day. If I learned one thing this trip it was that I work with the most awesome people! On the airport parking shuttle on our way home we met a lady. She said she opted to take the full shuttle because she and four of her coworkers had been together for four days and needed a little time apart. We all smiled and nodded as if we understood completely, but in that moment I couldn't. We spent our spare ti...

Love Text

I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this before, but I LOVE the first Sex and the City Movie. The second, not so much, but I’m pretty sure everyone in America agrees with me on that one. I watched it while I was sick last week. In the movie, there’s an exchange between Carrie and Big that goes a little something like this: C: “Have you ever written me a love letter?” B: “Does a love fax count?” C: “When have I EVER gotten a love fax?” B: “Oh, I'm sure my secretary sent you one...at some point. What can I tell you, baby? It's just not my style. Besides, those guys had to write. They were separated from their loves by wars and hundreds and hundreds of miles. I'm right here. Hello. You make me very happy.” C: “Yeah, yeah. Put it in writing.” Comic genius. Anyway, that got me thinking that Kyle and I rarely ever stop to focus on what we love about each other. Unfortunately we spend far too much time pointing out things we wish the other would do differently....

Spring Break

Contrary to popular belief, the OSU Foundation is not closed during spring break. In fact, we are open on most of the university-specific holidays. However, I was fortunate to be able to take 1 1/2 days off to spend a little time with the family during their break. My parents, Zach, Stacy and Asher had planned to visit my Donahue grandparents in Kansas, so I decided to tag along. Poor Kyle had to work, but he also got to spend the weekend with Greg and Stacie. They took him to a Thunder game and then out for golf on Saturday. They also found some basketball video game Greg and Kyle used to play as kids so that entertained them for most of Saturday evening. Stacie sent me this photo. They won with a dunk during the final seconds of the game. I think they're excited! :) Back on the farm, we got to spend a little time with Landon, who is now 6 months old. It's hard to believe how big his is! He is even sitting up on his own. Asher did pretty good with him although he did unintenti...
