Finally....an update

Well I can't believe that it has been almost 3 months since I posted anything...where does the time go? One thing is for sure, we are MORE THAN READY for Spring to be here and to get rid of this awful snow. The girls have been on spring break this week, not that it has acted like spring at all. It has snowed almost the entire time and we have like 2-3 inches on the ground right now...I will post some pictures. The quarter just ended for the girls in school and they are doing awesome...Samantha got straight A's and is very proud of that...the entire year she has had straight A's and only 2 B's that she was only a point away from A's. Sophie is also doing really well and has a loved her new school. She has a male teacher this year that is "old school" and she has thrived with him. Sophie is also in soccer now and has her first game next week - let's hope the weather cooperates. Samantha loves her friends and spends lots of time with them and I can't believe she will be an "official" teenager this year. I had to laugh as in February, I decided for kicks and giggles to see how many texts that Samantha had as we have unlimited texting on our plan, but I was curious as she texts her friends all the time and they text her the same. To be fair, I text more than call myself so I was curious for myself as well. In February, Mark had like 250, I had like 1500 and yes, Samantha took it home with almost 6000 texts in one month...

I thought I would update you too that I am so excited, I have continued working out and doing Cross Fit and I absolutely love it...I am hooked! I started in January and am in my 4th month and I am finally seeing results...I guess I must be building muscle as I truly have not lost that much weight, but I measured yesterday and am proud to say I have lost 2-4 inches in the places that I wanted to....YEAH FOR ME!!! I have found my new love...it's awesome.

Most of you probably know, but I earned my Mediterranean Cruise with Cookie Lee and I leave in a month and can hardly wait...it is truly going to be a trip of a lifetime! We leave on May 18th and fly to Paris and will spend 3 days in Paris and then fly to Barcelona and get on the ship...we have stops in Florence, Rome and Naples where we hit Pompeii and Capri and then another Spanish port before returning to Barcelona where we will also have an extra day and then fly home on Monday, May 30th....I pretty much will have exhausted my vacation time so I will land if all goes well in SLC at 8:45 PM and then I have to drive back to Logan and then with time change, jet lag and exhaustion, I have to go back to work on Tuesday...YES, I WILL BE EXHAUSTED...

Anyway, life is always crazy busy, but we are all doing great and the girls are getting so big and growing way too fast. I will try and post some pictures soon.
