We Run!

This is what our medal holder looked like as of yesterday. My goal for the year was to run at least 20 races. Well by the time we leave El Paso at the end of October we will have completed 21 races. :)

I am excited to see what kind of races there will be in Louisiana.

Here is what we have planned for the rest of the year:

Electric 5k: July 3rd

4th of July 5k: July 4th

Run for a Margarita 5k: July 12th

Spartyka Fallen Heroes 5k: August 3rd

Rio Grande Half Marathon: August 10th

10 Miler in the Heat: August 16th

Rhino Run 8k: August 23rd

Chips and Salsa Half Marathon: September 14th

Transmountain Challenge Half Marathon: October 14th

Flying Horse Half Marathon: October 25th.

Two of these races are in Albuquerque so it will be awesome to see different scenery.

I will finally be getting new running shoes this weekend, my current ones have done great over the last year but it's time.

Have a great Thursday everyone!

Academic Goals

Most of you know that I have been going to school since last September. I am chugging along and taking 4-5 classes at a time. I had a goal to be finished with my Bachelor's by the end of the next year. However, if I stick to what I am doing now I will be finished by May 2015! 

I was unsure of what I wanted to do after but I decided that since I will have over a year left on the GI Bill, I am going to pursue my Master's in Psychology. My ultimate goal is to get a job with DoD working at a child development center or in a school. 

I honestly never thought I would be considering a Master's, but now that I am in school I am loving every second of it. I am glad that I made the decision to wait and go to school. I feel like I take it more seriously than I would have right after high school. I am excited to see what the future holds. 

Happy Wednesday!

Tasty Treats

Sunday the baking bug bit me, big time haha. I made Kyle nutrigrain bars for the week and then decided to make some 4th of July cupcakes for his work.

I had so much fun and am so happy with how the final product turned out. It was time consuming but well worth it. Kyle said everyone loved them and now I'm sad that I didn't keep any at home, my sweet tooth wants one haha.

Vanilla Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream (let me know if you want the recipe for both I will email it to you, I have it saved as a word document haha).

Have you baked anything lately?

A Quick Getaway

Kyle and I had a great time on our little getaway this weekend. We got up to Inn of the Mountain Gods early Friday afternoon and fell in love with our view of the lake. After dropping our stuff off we headed into Ruidoso to walk around and take in the scenery. We found an amazing barbecue place and enjoyed an early dinner. Afterwards we found a miniature golf course and had to play. I won lol.

After we got back to the hotel we walked around the property, had a drink at the bar and enjoyed dessert on the balcony. :)

Sunday morning we got up bright and early to go horseback riding. It was absolutely amazing!!! It was just us and our guide on the ride and the views were stunning. I already want to go back and do it again.

We came home a day early and attended a get together at Kyle's battalion commanders place, it was nice to have the whole battalion together. We had a great time.

The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing and prepping for a busy week.

I hope you all had a great weekend!!

On The Move

Well it's official! Kyle got his official assignment notification yesterday and will have an RFO no later than July 11th. We are off to Fort Polk, Louisiana and report November 17th!

We had no idea that less than two years after moving to Bliss that we would be on the move again. We meet with our realtor next week to get the house put up for sale. We are excited for all that is to come.

Here is a to a new adventure!!!! :)

Have a great weekend everyone!

It's Thursday...Woo!

This is Kyle's shirt that I bought for the 4th of July run that we are doing haha.

This is mine...love it!

I bought this awesome grooming tool! We have already used it on Fishy and it has made a huge difference.

I got this sweet gift from my friend Kim, it has our brigade crest on one side and on the other side has our BN name. 

Everyone knows my love of Dachshunds...I found this mug at Marshalls and had to have it. :)

Happy Thursday everyone...I'll be spending my day at Kyle's work and then packing for our trip. Yippee!

Wordless Wednesday

I will be so sad to say goodbye to our first home when the time comes.

 Here is to new adventures though!
