there goes my life

How can it be possible that this month is nearly half over already??? It seems like we were just celebrating Christmas and now it's Joe's Birthday already . . . Happy "38th" Birthday Joe! All of our snow is finally gone and I'm back to hitting the pavement, and it's not been easy either! Three weeks of no running on account of the snow and ice has my body thinking it is starting all over . . . I'm back at ground zero again and it sucks! But knowing that Spring is just around the corner has given me a new motivation to shed the pounds that I've managed to gain back since my marathon. And also the fact that Joe has his 20th high school reunion this summer.

I was beyond excited to finally get to see my LO in the February issue of Creating Keepsakes magazine. Since I still can't post it, here's a little sneak peek . . . some of you may remember this LO from this past summer, CK asked if I could add a few more pictures prior to publication. I loved seeing my name so big on that page, I know that sounds crazy, but it feels good to be appreciated by someone other than my husband. Kaitie's almost as excited as I am, she can't wait to take her friends to Yoke's (our local grocery store) and show all of them that she is in print.
I never got around to sharing this card before it was picked up . . . so now you'll have to wait until the June 2009 issue of Cards hits the stands. I'm actually going to have two cards in that issue!
