2012-2013 New Year

Tomorrow we will welcome 1300 + students to HHS.
Lots of freshman who will be smaller than the rest of the kids
Commons area will be LOUD and they all get re acquainted and decide which group they will be apart of.  I am staring the year refreshed and ready to take care of attendance.
Lots of changes this year and for me personally I love change and challenge.
I am feeling very good about my home space as I did lots of cleaning up and reorganizing.  Thus my mental attitude is a 10!

We had a great week at the beach and hopefully we will make this a yearly adventure.  At some beach somewhere.  I love the ocean and realized how much i need to feel the waves and listen to the sound of the waves.  Watch the sunsets and sunrise and just be quiet and get filled up.

Jackson turned 4 this summer.  He had a baseball birthday party complete with piñata.
Marah is 8 and will be going to 3rd grade!  She is so precious and sweet.  Marah still loves to cheer and is on the force competition dance team.
Wyatt is now 8 months old and is on his way to crawling.

St. Pete's Beach (near Tampa)

The beach is the best place to regroup your soul.  The sound and majesty of it all is priceless.  What a great adventure.  No schedule, no stress just endless days of R & R!!  So glad we had this opportunity to go with Ra and B.  Jackson is so much fun and is still an easy guy to handle.  Drew has a great place to hang his hat.  Smart guy for sure.

Bobby loved being in the ocean

Jackson loved it all

His first kite flying adventure

He is sooo sweet!

End of April 2012

What a lovely time of year.  The flowers are all blooming and my plants are now officially outside.  They love being out there and I enjoy taking care of them.  I have an awesome back porch area that Bobby helped me reclaim by doing some painting and repairing of the screen.

The festivals have arrived and every weekend there are many options  This weekend Ra and I went to the Inman Park Festival.

 There are also lots of road races and I love to go to them also.  This year has been especially fun because Brian and Ra are enjoying the road races with me.  It is so fun to see them also enjoy this favorite past time.    

Wyatt is now 4 months old.  He will be staying with us this week along with Tori.  Justin will return to Vidalia to work but he will return next weekend.  

Jackson is close to being a 4 year old.  He is so  much fun and I love being with him every chance I get.

His favorite color is Yellow and i love finding things to make him happy.

Marah our little ball player and cheerleader gets to hang out with us a couple times a month.  She is a precious little lady who loves the color blue.

Looking forward to hanging out at the lake with Bobby and a book.  Such a great place to regroup and relax.

First ASR Run

Ya know. running has been a part of my life since i was in High School.  I loved long distance running, with so many things in my life i couldn't control this was the one thing that allowed my mind to be quiet so i could relax.  To this day i love the feeling i get the endorphins that quiet my brain.  I love encouraging others to run and for the longest time ran alone.  Now Brian has joined the fun, i know he loves it as much as i do.  For Mothers Day he got me a Road ID, very thoughtful gift.  I wear it proudly.  I also run with Kimberley Miller, we both love to run together.
Today was the first time i ran with Atlanta Southside Runners.  We met to run at 6:00 am and i had some anxiety about this new adventure.  I had nightmares i would get lost, be the last one and never find the finish line.  It was a group of mostly men and some gals.  The guys took off and i could tell they were faster than i will ever get.  It is still fun to be with a group of people who share this passion.  Keep Moving!

December 26

Holiday time can be so stressful and hectic.  We managed to have a little stress but for the most part enjoy the time together.  Bobby as usual made the best dinner for us all.  Stephanie and Helen came over to share the holiday love at the Lenz home.   Our baby Wyatt was here as well also.
