A Little About Mike..

One of my favorite parts of going up to NH was seeing good friends I haven’t seen in a while, and one of them is Mike.. Mike and Tim have known each other for 27 years, Tim use to babysit him when he was little.. he has been a friend of the family for a long long time.. and they have been best friends.. I have known mike for 17 years now as long as I have been with Tim. Mike is just funny and awesome and it was so good seeing him.. was great seeing his wife and kids too, he now has TWINS hehehe busy dad! Love ya Mike.. Here is a photo of me and Mike … Hey Mike, how do you wanna act? hahahah

My kitten apparently wanted to help put up the Christmas decorations… she stole the beads, and held them randsom, then she decided to decorate herself, and play with them till they broke! Then once they broke, she chased the darn beads all over the house and drove us nuts! She’s like a kid… you can’t take your eye off her for a moment! yeah in the photos she looks all innocent, but in real, she is sneaky!

Tis The Season …. A Little Late in My Tradition

karenbeth35 — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 20:55:30 +0000

My Tradition has always been to decorate the house Christmas the day after thanksgiving, well we were in NC so that didn’t happen, so I am doing that today, which is not easy by anymeans. I am tired and worn out! I am trying so hard to keep up with my very strict training and working out program right now… I have been up since 5:30am and I so wish I could nap right now, but I want to get this done so that my kids can enjoy the Christmas spirit in this house for the 3 weeks we will enjoy it seeing we are going up North for Christmas. I am so envy when I pass by all these houses who already have all their Christmas stuff up…. this is going to take me all day and all night!

Oh well… I better get back to work!

We made it to NC … took forever!

karenbeth35 — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 19:17:00 +0000

We made it to NC about 11:00pm last night.. we got caught in horrible traffic outside on 85, took forever. Our 5 hour trip took 7 hours. Christopher talked the whole entire 7 hour trip, he sat behind me and drove me NUTS the whole way here! *food for thought, never let a 17 year old have a cup of coffee before a road trip*

We will be here till saturday morning and then we head back home. I think Kelli is taking me out shopping on BLACK FRIDAY… should be interesting, I never went shopping on the maddest day in the world! Wish me luck!

have a great Thanksgiving Everyone! ….. I will try and take photos

Good Luck Ross and Jared at the Gobble Jog!

I am going to miss it, but Thursday Ross and Jared and Debbie (the trainer) are running the thanksgiving run called “the Gobble Jog” in marietta showing their support for our church “Momentum” … it’s run by “MUST MINISTRIES” for a great cause!

I know Ross and Jared both have been training for this run, and if I was going to be home, I would have trained and done it too…. so I wish you guys luck this Thursday.. you guys are amazing! Let me know how it goes …. I wish I could watch you guys run, or be there with you!

Week 5 of the 100 Pushup Challenge

karenbeth35 — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 03:30:10 +0000

Okay, this is the HARDEST week I have endured in this 6 week challenge! I have made it all the way to week 5, and I am barely pushing out the Max.. this is getting TOUGH. If you are doing the challenge, I encourage you to re-do week 4 if you feel you can’t handle week 5! yesterday I pushed out 170 pushups in 5 sets with only 120 seconds in between.. talk about the pain! I am 2 weeks away from finishing this challenge, and I hope to do the 100 in a row at the 6th week! I am struggling with this week already, I barely could do it! I may have to re-do week 5 if I can’t get the momentum going.

Good luck to you guys doing it… I can’t wait to see if week 6 will work!

Heading to NC Wednesday

karenbeth35 — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 20:08:12 +0000

I was relieved to get a phone call from Bob Loehr about an hour ago letting me know that they are not going to be doing the performance at the game Friday, and that we do not need the whole band there. So Chris and I are free and clear and dont have to go to the game 6 hours Friday.

We are leaving for Greensboro NC Wednesday afternoon and coming back Saturday sometime. We are spending time with our good friends Kelli, Tommy and their 3 girls, who are the same ages as our kids.. They came and stayed with us last summer for a week and we just had such a great time, I am looking forward to seeing them again. I will take lots of photos and share them! I will be taking my laptop up with me, so I will post while I am there.

Here is a photo of our good friends we are visiting this week.. this was taken last summer…

Karen 51 – Ross 50 WHOO HOO!

karenbeth35 — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 03:07:00 +0000

Okay.. tonight Ross and Amie came over for dinner, and it just wouldn’t be a get together if me and Ross were not competing in some kind of fitness competition! SO Ross said to my son Chris “How many Pushups can you do?” .. Chris said “I think I can do about 100″ .. “Ross said, I think I can do about 100 too”.. ohhhh ok, lets see who can do the most. So I sat there and watched Ross go first, Ross pushed out 50 before he couldn’t do anymore.. Chris 45 pushups he couldn’t do anymore! I later then said.. wanna see me push out 50? Ross said “push out 51″ so amie comes in the room to see this.. I pushed out 51 PUSHUPS BABY! I beat them BOTH! What a rush.. I couldn’t feel my arms for about 30 minutes, but I kicked some BUTT!

I told you Ross I would post this on my blog… 51 pushups BABY!
