It's summertime!!

I finished up substitute teaching in Roanoke County at the end of the school year and have now picked up an early morning shift at the YMCA. I've also recently taken a class and a test to get certified to be a personal trainer. I'll know the results in 4-6 weeks. Hope I passed!

Outside of working and studying, I've been hanging out with family and friends. Michelle and I began a new pre-beach workout program. It's, of course, another challenging DVD workout by Jillian Michaels. This one is called "Ripped in 30." I finished week two this morning and will start week three on Monday. I'm not sure how it can actually get much harder than it already is...I'm almost scared to put in Week 3!

Our family heads to the beach in July. Woo! Should be a week full of adventure with 2 little boys running around!

Here are some pictures from the last several weeks (ok, couple of months) as I've been able to spend time with family and friends. We had a blast in the spring, and summer is off to a great start, as well!

Memorial Day Weekend

This is the day we made peanut butter chocolate chip cookies in preparation for the weekend's sleepover.

And this is our sleepover. We ate popcorn and cookies while watching Bolt!

I went to a friend's wedding in Wake Forest, NC and while down for the weekend got to eat lunch at one of my favorite restaurants (Over the Falls Deli) with some of my favorite people - the Bible Family!

Here's Chloe and me!

Me and little Laney!
