Time at home





Now that yoga training is done I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders.  We have enjoyed being together on weekends and working on our new home.  We have been in our home for about three months.  It feels so good here.  It is a perfect home for the four and 1/2 (Foxy) of us.  We are getting the inside around because when warmer weather comes, we will have the outside to tend to.   I finally got a run in today and also did another painting project.  While I painted the kitchen table the girls painted paper and themselves!  Needless to say, bath-time immediately followed craft/creative time.  So far with the new year themed "peace", it has gone well.  M.'s birthday and spring are just around the corner which already brings happiness and peace to my mind.  I absolutely loathe winter-I decided that February 1st this year.  Yay for painting and yay for almost-might-as-well-just-call it... Spring!!

RYT for me


I finished the training that I started in October to become a 200hr RYT Yoga Instructor.  It was challenging to balance everything these past few months.  I was literally walking into my first day of training when  I got a call form our real estate agent that we "got the house".  I was in the middle of the street heading to the studio for training.  Although it was such good news I had no one to share it with as I entered into the  class with 20-some strangers who could care less.  Also, the news was bittersweet.  I applied and was accepted the past June when we anticipated the late fall to be "chill" since the many months before that were everything but.  The inspection on the house went very well and off we went to move for the third time in about 15 months.  Also, during this time I was picking up more call and coordinating to have a good friend watch the girls 1-2 times per week-a stressful situation-although had such ease with who was watching them.  Needless to say, I am glad this chapter is done.  My husband too.  He watched the girls during all of weekend trainings with no help, aside from the football games they watched together :)  I look forward to what opportunities I will come across in the near future and to continue to build the relationships that were created in the training with the other women.  I am registered with Yoga Alliance and hope to teach at a local gym and incorporate my dance and nursing background in my classes.
