Family, and Pictures, and Updates, Oh my!

I have so much to update. I haven't blogged in so long!
I have had some really fun times with Family lately. I went to Merced for an extended weekend and got to take pictures of my sweet Kaelyn.

Andrews new home is beautiful! Words cannot describe how happy I am for them! I love my brother so much.

It was my dads birthday so I got to take him out to dinner and take some pictures of the family and his new Chihuahua, Buddy.

Jack and Paige had just come back from their dads so they were there too!

I took Monday off so I had a little extra time and it was much more relaxing. I even got a snowboard trip in with Brett Gordon. It was such a beautiful day at Dodge Ridge.


I also had a visit from Aunt Debbie and Uncle Jimi from Texas. We went to the pier, Main Street Huntington Beach, and had dinner. Friday night we went to Long Beach and had an absolute blast at a Dueling Piano Bar. I hope to go again...possibly for my birthday or something. It was a quick trip but I am glad I got to spend time with them while they were in town.

For Easter I went up to my Aunt Brenda and Uncle Gary's house in La Verne for a ham dinner and easter egg hunt.(These are in the family album too!) Its nice to have family close by that I can spend the holiday's with.

The weather has been totally random. Last weekend we were laying on the beach and two days later it was raining! LAME! I took some great pictures of the pups at the beach in Surfside. I even got to bring Daisy. She had a BLAST! It was so nice to see my girl dog playing in the ocean...Pnut, not so much. He was more concerned about the sandwich I left up by the towels.

I started hitting the gym hardcore 2 weeks ago. Yoga, hip hop, Zumba, classes to name a few. Jelena and I have also been running to the gym (1.29 miles), resistance training on the circuit, and running uphill home. Twice we have run 3-4 miles BEFORE going to the gym and doing the circuit. Jelena has seen amazing results and I feel a lot stronger already.
Yesterday, we ran our fastest 10k! 1:01! Last year we did it 1:06. 5 whole minutes off our time! AMAZING! I can't wait to see where we will be next year. We have a half marathon next month (Jelena's first!). We will be rockin for summer. Oh yea!
Jelena and Craig started Escrow on their first home! It has been such an answered prayer and blessing in their new life together. I am so happy for them. I continue to pray that it goes smooth.
I also finally got Cable, DVR and cable internet! I am flying now! No more "borrowing" internet from unsuspecting neighbors or tethered jailbroken iPhones. DVR is the shit. I love it. I am finally in touch with the world and hopefully these blogs and picture updates wont be too far in between. Oh yea, and I'm on Skype now, amy.pirtle.
