I did it! Today I ran the Rock N Roll Denver Half Marathon....that is 13.1 miles! It was one of the best experiences of my life. The course was beautiful, so much to see, the music was great, the people were full of energy....the entire race was amazing! I finished with a time of 2:52 and a pace of 13 min. Not the best time or pace but not bad for someone who hasn't run in almost a month and has never run a race in their life. Either way, i'm proud of myself for doing and i'm SO ready to do another!!

Chirp Chirp
::Crickets chirping:: Anyone there? Anyone at all?
I miss my poor neglected blog SO much! I sure hope I can find the time very very soon to update it. We just got back from a lovely two week trip to California and had such a wonderful time. From Disneyland, fireworks, pool and seeing family and friends we are just spent but so happy.
Yet another semester of school is completed and more to come. I cannot wait until I finally graduate and can post those cap and gown pictures!
Snuggle Bug is doing wonderfully. She is potty trained and loving school and her little friends.
Life is great!

New Photo Shoot!
Last week, I got the chance to work with a very talented photographer by the name of Elle!
At the age of 21, he is an incredible talent with an amazing eye and a lot of talent!
I'm really happy, these were a great birthday present for my 25th birthday that was on the 11th (which I will write about in a little while because it ended up being a GREAT birthday)!

Happy Valentine's Day!
I hope you are all having a wonderful Valentine’s with the special people in your lives!
I’ve had a very busy day so far. I left a teddy bear and card on the hubby’s pillow so he’d find it when he got out of the shower, dropped Snuggle Bug off at school, went to the grocery store, pharmacy (birth control pills, mucho mucho important) and then back home to get ready for a photo shoot. Finished the shoot, picked up Snuggle Bug, got home and made Valentine’s cookies with the Snuggle Bug.
The high point had to be when I came home to find beautiful flowers waiting for me on the doorstep with the sweetest note from the hubby saying:
“Even though I may not always show it, you are the woman I want to be with for the rest of my life. Thank you for loving me.”
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it made my heart melt completely. I’m one lucky lady.
Now I’m off to make a yummy Valentine’s dinner for the family….seafood pasta, yumminess.

Just a day, just an ordinary day....
Where I’m trying not to fall asleep in my classes! Last night I managed to stay up way too late for someone getting up so early. I stayed up trying to get some things done around the house and didn’t finish until midnight. As soon as I crawl into bed Snuggle Bug wakes up screaming. Then, an hour before my alarm was going to go off, she woke up again screaming. Night terrors are a bitch on mother and child. So, I’m going on a little less than 5 hours of sleep. I’m sure it could be worse (ie. No sleep), but I’m pretty tired none the less. Sitting in two painfully boring classes first thing in the morning doesn’t make it any easier.
This semester is proving to be fairly boring. I have seven papers to write over the next few months, a few are due in by the end of the month and one due later is 20 pages long. Yuck. I’ve spent a lot of time since this semester started asking me why the hell I’m doing this to myself but I know it’s for the best.
To make matters worse the hubby has been on yet another trip and Snuggle Bug is entering the realm of terrible 3’s. She is yelling “no” constantly, pushing limits and just generally being a little crabby butt. When I went to pick her up from daycare yesterday she was upset because she wanted to keep playing, so I let her play just a little longer. When I finally told her it was time to go she melted down, screaming at the top of her lungs, kicked and flailing around. When I finally got a hold of her to put her jacket on she hit me and I heard her teacher gasp behind me. I was absolutely humiliated. After that scene I couldn’t look anyone in the eye as we left the classroom. I’m trying my best to control her and teach her what is right and wrong but this is just getting ridiculous….ridonkulous even.
So there you have it, a brief life update. Nothing special, nothing cool….just an ordinary few days in my life.

Stupid Questions
What a day yesterday was!
When the hubby leaves it is almost guaranteed that something will break or go wrong in the house and yesterday was no exception. After missing his morning flight we finally got him off to the airport for an early afternoon flight to his conference. We grabbed some lunch, came home and then I put Snuggle Bug down for a nap so I could get some cleaning done. When I got her up and started getting her snack ready I realized that her milk wasn’t cold. Then I realized that the fridge wasn’t cold. Yes, that’s right, my refrigerator had stopped working. I have no idea when it went dead on me but it must have been sometime in the morning because everything in my freezer was thawed out almost completely. It was still cold so I did the first thing I could think of….cook it. I spent my entire afternoon and evening cooking two small chickens, chicken breasts, frozen veggies….anything that was usable.
On the plus side, I did get this outta of the deal. It was pretty tasty too.
I checked the breaker box and that was still fine. We had power to the house so that wasn’t an issue. So I plugged it into the outlet above the one it was in and presto it started working again. So the first time I call maintenance they tell me they can’t be out till Wednesday since the fridge is working again. Great. So the hubby calls them in between flights and guess what? They tell him they can be out in a few hours. Who knew a man’s voice could get so much done? Well they came out and treated me like an idiot. “Well, ma’am, you know you can plug the fridge into any outlet, not just this one.” Or, my personal favorite, “Are you sure you didn’t just lose power to the house for a while and just didn’t know it?” Yes. That must be it. I must be a complete total dumbfuck. Excuse the language but, in this case, I think it is warranted. I really dislike being treated like an idiot purely because I’m a woman.
So, long story short, my fridge died, my food went bad, maintenance sucks, but the fridge is working again (for now) and that’s what matters.
Hopefully today is a much better day.
