When did I become so easily stressed? This isn't me!

Recently I've realized how easy it has become for me to feel overwhelmed and stressed out. I didn't used to be this way, what happened?! It seems I am on the verge of a meltdown at least twice a week these days. I don't know what has gotten in to me, but I definitely need to relax. I've also come to realize that when I'm leading into one of these panic-like attacks, I tense up in my shoulders without noticing it. I swear I have a knot the size of a softball between my shoulder blades! I've decided to make it my goal for this weekend to find myself some sort of stress relief that works for me personally. I'm even toying with the idea of yoga. I think it might help with the physical tension I'm feeling. I'll try almost anything to try to make myself feel better. I'm open to anyone's suggestions!!

Wow, I'm a slacker!!

It has been such a long time since I've posted!! I apologize for that! Well, Shaun and I spent Easter at Becky and Cameron's house for brunch. Tara, Nick, Isaiah, and Will all came as well. We had so much fun just visiting and chatting up a storm, as usual. This is a picture Tara snapped of Isaiah and me. I love his little side-smile!

We've been trying to get our yard ready for the warmer weather, but I can't seem to figure out where all these dandilions are coming from! It seems like we are the only house in the neighborhood with weeds in our grass. Any suggestions are welcome!!

WHAT'S BETTER THAN A ROAD TRIP WITH THE GIRLS?

How about a trip with the girls to see George Strait!! Jessica, Becky and I are heading to Salt Lake City on July 7th for the concert of a lifetime; for us at least. George Strait is one of our all time favorites and he rarely ventures this far in our direction so we have to take full advantage of this opportunity! :) Hopefully Tara and Debbie will decide to come with us. We absolutely cannot wait for this summer. This is going to be my first road trip with Jessica, aside from when we were kids. Becky and I have definitely had our fair share of weekend trips, so it will be fun to have more of the sisters. Shaun may come along, but can't decide if he is brave enough to handle all of the Weeks ladies for a few days. He is getting ready for a guy's trip to Vegas sometime in April. It's going to be his first time there and I am so excited for him. He's going to LOVE it!!

It's Crunch Time!

My sister Becky asked me today if I would like to be her partner for the "Mad Hatter Relay" that is coming up in March. The relay is part of the women's fitness program in Boise and is for teams of 2. Each team mate will run two miles, then hand off their wacky hat (instead of a baton) to the other team mate. Each person has to run 2 sets for a total of miles. Sounds pretty simple, but to tell the truth, I am definitely NOT a runner. I decided to accept this as a challenge and give it a chance. If I can handle it I may consider training with Becky for the 10K run she is gearing up for this May. I'm going to hit the gym tonight and see how well I do on the treadmill. Keep your fingers crossed for me!! Who knows, this may be the kickstart I have been needing to get into the groove. I figure I have 20 pounds to go to make myself happy, but my mini goal is that I want to look decent in a pair of shorts this summer. I guess I had better get cracking! I welcome all advise and support!! :-)

I've been TAGGED!! :-)

So my lovely sis Jessica has tagged me and I'm now supposed to list my three biggest indulgences, LOL. I enlisted my husband Shaun to help me think of a few when I decided I might need a little help. He, on the other hand, started rattling my little indulgences off faster than I could process them. These are the first three we came up with. 1. Chocolate! Dove chocolate to be exact; especially the ones with caramel in the middle! 2. Bubble baths. The best bubble bath I've found is the newest Victoria's Secret one, Sexy Little Things. It's so relaxing and nice! 3. (Now no laughing, I'm serious) New undies!! I'm not sure what it is, but that is one of my favorite things to shop for when I need some "me time". I'm a complete sucker when it comes to the Victoria's Secret 5-for-$25 sale. Any who, I don't have any other blogger friends to tag, so I guess that is where is stops for me!! :)

Is it Spring yet?

I'm trying my best to be patient, but I have to admit that I am ready for a bit more sunshine. It seems like we have been getting hit a lot harder with the snow storms this year! Luckily, I've been able to work from home these past few weeks and don't have to worry about driving to the office on slick roads. I am looking forward to shorts and t-shirt weather! :-)

My sister Becky and I are getting ready to head to Las Vegas and Overton to visit our grandparents for a few days. I'm really looking forward to it because I haven't been able to spend much time with them over the past few years. It should be quite the experience to fly with the twins though!

Happy Holidays!!!

Well, I finally got to meet baby Isaiah and he is the cutest little guy! He is the best little snuggler and he is such a good baby, too. I barely heard him fuss the whole time I was there. And I must say that he seems pretty fond of his Aunt Lisa too ;-) I was a little sad that my trip to Idaho Falls was so short because I didn't get to spend as much time with everyone as I would have liked. Shaun and I put up our Christmas tree and a few other decorations this past week. We decided that we are going to stay in Boise for Christmas this year so that we can relax a little and not have to worry about the driving weather. This will be our first Christmas in our house so I am really looking forwad to it. We're going to miss everyone, but hopefully we can make a trip soon after the new year. I hope everyone is having a great holiday season so far!!
