I cannot believe it!  She is 21 today!  Just where has the time gone?

We got to spend 4 days together during the Disney Princess Marathon and it was a blast.  I am sharing with my daughter a relationship I never knew possible! We laugh at each other's quirks, jokes and can finish each others sentences. She pushes me to be better, try harder and has changed my life!

Happy Birthday Chelsea...

Disney style...
Part of the reason for our trip to Disney was to celebrate Chelsea's 21st birthday!  Last year her birthday fell on the weekend of the Princess marathon so she already knew that was what she wanted to do this year, Disney just decided to move the race a week earlier.
But they still did an amazing job at celebrating her birthday!  
When you go to Disney and you wear a birthday pin...

Everyday Beauty

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that's why I just love this weeks team up!
While I've had my fair share of snow this year I love the look of it as it covers the trees and ground, it is one of the beauties of winter and of course with Jill's team up it sure is another beauty-Blue skies. Sunshine. Running outside. New running shoes. Life doesn't get much better.

The first video from Disney is posted and Chelsea and I are in it.  We are coming through the castle at about 27 or 28 seconds! They also took some other pictures of Chelsea for Disney marketing, so we will see what comes of that!
 
what a magical experience!

This week my word Challenge was used over and over again.  I knew it was coming too, I knew the second I booked the flight to Florida that there was going to be a challenge ahead.  I just didn't know how challenging it was going to be.
You see I'm not a HUGE fan of flying, in fact my last flight was in 2006 so its been a while... But being a "runner" now and learning about the Disney Princess...

Last weekend Joel, Zach and I went to breakfast and then over to the ice festival.  It was nice to walk around the square checking out all the sculptures. And since it was still early it was pretty quiet too!


some of the sculptures were frosted up - not sure if it was because of the changing temperatures.

But one of my favorite pictures of the day was from my iphone

there was a brick...

Week 8
As the challenge continues and the weather continues to be cold and race day approaches I have to continue to run on the treadmill.  I don't really mind the treadmill run, but I know getting outdoors will be more effective for both my body and soul.

My view from the gym... not too inspiring really, but with the right tunes and the right attitude I can travel far away!

18 years....
Its impossible to comprehend that eighteen years have passed without Ryan in our lives!  I've always tried to keep him a part of our lives, I mean how couldn't you... a piece of you has gone missing, you don't just forget about it.
But yet I have survived and that's not saying it was easy or that still today there aren't days that I am in a puddle on the kitchen floor.  But somehow...

Finally got to spend some time scrapping with the girls!
Trish had a crop on Saturday and my sister and I spent the day there along with a few other friends! It was so nice to spend some uninterrupted craft time together and laugh and joke along the way! Trish and I even shared some Iphone tips with one another and got to try out face time with our phones, even though we were only 3 feet apart.

After many weeks, even possibly years Deb has mentioned starting a blog.  I continued to tell her its not hard to do, but nothing happened.

And so here she will share her projects and learn as she goes about the world of blogging...
