Pain

So between the yoga, crunches 2 times a day, and my nightly walk/jog my body is hurting. It's not as bad as the old muscle failure days in the Army to be sure, but it hurts. I think it feels great. This was my old Army stomach. Will I ever get it back to the 6-pack it once was? Maybe... I am using this picture for motivation to work through the pain. OMG look at those eyebrows!! LOL! I think I want my hair cut that short again, but layered. Hmmmm...

We went to the mall to try and find a formal dress for the ball and boy was that depressing. Gone are the days when I would put on any dress whatsoever and look great. I just need to get used to dressing my new body. I don't think I'm fat, just not as small as I once was. It's just a part of life. I swear those mirrors in the dressing room were widening though haha. I also tried on my senior prom dress and it still fits! However, it's tight around my ribcage of all places. I must have huge lateral muscles now from being in the Army and toting babies around. I really want to wear it so I'm going to see if they can bring it out about half an inch for me. I love this dress! This time I am going to have waaaay better shoes... and a different date haha. Looking at this picture I can see how scrawny my arms used to be and I know why it's tight around my lats. I was weak, but now I'm stroooong. OK enough about me.

In case you all didn't notice there are 2 new videos on my YouTube. Look at the right column and check them out. They are totally cute :D By the way, I think we should start a blogger photo hunt. Anyone who wants to play can post their pics on Sunday... or maybe we'll figure out something better for photo sharing. I don't know. I wish everyone had flickr!!

OMG! You had some abs!! I don't think my stomach EVER looked like that. Your prom dress was really pretty :) I doubt mine would still fit. I think my boobs are to big now haha. Well, and my stomach as of right now. Who was your prom date? I don't remember him from Howland.

That's actually not Josh, Jen... that's Bill. He was a farm boy from Vienna, OH. I dated him for a little while during my sr. year of HS. Josh and I didn't even meet until 4 years later. I guess I have a "type" cuz he does kinda look Joshish.

I have never had abs of steel either but I was in great shape while I lived in Pittsburgh. I use to run 3-5 miles at least 5 times a week :P I did a nude photo shoot for Mark and thank goodness I captured that because soon after I got pregnant with Ava and my flat stomach went out the window. (it was a classy shoot ...more artistic,hehe). Anyways I will not be posting those on my blog,haha! I am sure several of my relatives would faint.

I like your dress too! I love looking back at the pictures of us when we were getting ready for our homecomings. We got together before two or three dances I believe & I remember curling your hair for the one dance....fun times :)

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Germany

Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...
