Happy Fall Y'all!!

It's officially the FIRST DAY OF FALL!! 

Washington was greeted with a Fabulous Rainy, Gloomy Cold Day yesterday. And, I loved every. single. second of it. Why? Well, there's been SUNSHINE all SUMMER LONG, literally.
And, I loved that too. I really did but longed for the rain. I'm a southern girl, growing up in Texas with thunderstorms and rainfall is something I loved, still do. And, after the last few duty stations; Hawaii, San Diego, China Lake (3 yrs of dry desert, rare rainfall), I was beyond happy to move to the place that some have called "depressing". Not, depressing to me at all. 

I was motivated to get outdoors for a RUN with my girls in the double jogger. My body has adjusted to this cooler weather and I prefer to run in it. And, we logged 2 miles, Run Faster, Mama! Now, as fall quickly approaches, I've got a running schedule lined up, along with Moms Run This Town Meetups & Bootcamps. I might just incorporate both in one Meetup some weeks, depending on the mother runners. I understand that not everyone will not embrace the cooler, rainy weather as I do. But I sure hope they can change their minds just a bit, even if it's a "controlled" run around the track. I've got a few routes lined up with the double/single jogger. My 3 year old recently started preschool on Tuesday & Thursdays, so that's give me some SOLO time with my baby girl. She is going to love it. I don't want to spend the entire 2 hours just running, so I'm planning to dedicate one hour, maybe 30minutes to a RUN and the rest to her. I'm excited! Are y'all excited!? Fall is such a FABULOUS Season, especially in the Pacific Northwest. There's LOTS to do around here and plenty that will keep us entertained while husband is on deployment. It's the second year in a row that he is missing out on. 

Here's an AMAZING Photo shared on September 20, via U.S. Pacific Fleet FB page; My Husband is on the USS John C. Stennis and it's the huge carrier at the back end of the photo. My girls were SO happy to SEE what daddy is doing, instead of listening to me say it. I  LOVE IT!

Hello, Tuesday!

Whewww, what a day so far!!

It's a REST day for Les Mills Pump, WEEK 4 is underway, but I was still on the go!
Bootcamp is rescheduled for Friday and tomorrow is Moms Run This Town Meetup, my 3rd week hosting the Morning Run, we have a few new faces; Yay!!
After the morning routine craziness, and walk to gate for Leanna, I rushed back home. 
Had to be at the college at 9:30 for placement tests.

That's right this Mama is getting her booty off the online classes and into a classroom. I've spent the last, almost, 2 1/2 years with online school, and I just need my math/reading credits to EARN my Associates in Business Admin!! BIG DEAL!! 

Well, the testing was ROUGH, who uses algebra on the day to day basis?! Not me!
I was overwhelmed and I knew I wasn't going to score high. Even, the reading was out of this world to me, thanks to every day talking and the blogging word isn't grammar critical. 

So, I get to spend a few weeks (months) before re-testing and then registering for the next quarter. Which, is PERFECT!! 

And, besides the studying and current (upcoming) workout routines, the day to day of being a Mama and house duties,  I'm starting back to a few basic crafts; sewing and crocheting, like the cozy for my coffee on the go in the picture above. I spend an hour last night, in bed, relaxing and making that cuteness. And, getting into the routine of having a First Grader and Preschooler. My girl starts preschool on Thursday, BIG DAY for her. And, she is SO excited!! I'll have Tues/Thurs to give one-on-one to my baby girl while squeezing in RUN with a SINGLE JOGGER too!! I'm looking forward to the remainder of the year.

Here's what kept me busy last week; the start of fall crafts & care packages for husband and brother. Y'all already knew that, right? My little brother and husband are on the same carrier, on deployment. It's pretty awesome!! I'm a proud Navy wife & sister!!
