Back to blogging!!

Hello all!!  :)

So I was talking to my sister Amy the other day, who is starting a new blog, and realized it had been a very, very long time since I have posted here.  I used to enjoy it SO much, and it is kinda sad I have let life get so crazy that I couldn't keep up with something I loved to do!  So I woke up this morning and decided it was time to blog!

The last few months have been crazy insane, from kids, to designing, to keeping up a house and home - I have hardly had time to think straight!  Just to give you a quick run down of the last few months here is a little illustration as to a few things our fam has been up to:

A Vegas Trip for Greg's Continuing Ed. (for Vet. medicine):

I painted my living room:

We rode the horses:

Owen was baptized:

We put in our vinyl fence:

   

Rode again:

I ran my first 5K:

Planted and worked in our garden:

I started my rose garden (carrying on the Huff tradition):

Played at our fave spot up the Canyon:

Went on a zoo field trip:

Went Camping:

   

And fished a LOT:

Got hay for the horses (a big 3-4 day ordeal):

The kids loved it:

And rode again:

And lastly, my latest obsession, the P90X fitness program (www.p90x.com):

So that is a quick rundown of a few things we have been up to the last few months.  Now that it is summer, I have realized I need to get myself moving and shed a few pounds so that I can face the dreaded swimsuit!  So, my latest obsession has become the P90X program, which is so very cool, and I am hoping it will keep me motivated to work out more!  I love running, and I do whenever I can, but just needed a little bit more of a push!  And it has gotten Greg's attention and approval, he is doing the program with me!  :)

So this morning I made a little wordart to give myself a little motivation and encouragement to keep going and wanted to share it with you as a Freebie Challenge! (for those of you that are still with me after this novel! lol)  So here is the wordart:

And all you need to do to snag this freebie is to tell me something you want to accomplish!  Sometimes all it takes is a little remembering what our goals are to get us back on track!

Then download HERE!

So hope you like it and I can't wait to hear what it is you want to set your mind to!!! hugs!!!

Glad you back to blogging! I want to start living and enjoying the moment. No more doing one thing while thinking about 500 other things.

Thanks for the freebie!

[Meg]

Yay, so glad you're back :)

My goal for the next few months is to finish a scrapbook (or two) for my DD. I've got another coming in Sept, and I just started scrapbooking, so I have 14 months of catch-up to do before DD2 arrives!

And allow myself to have some ice cream once and awhile :)

Thanks for the great freebie..love this quote.

Sometimes life is running so hard I have to remember to enjoy every minute of it..of my kids, of my hubby...I should not be running all day but take a moment to be happy with all I have..

Hugs,
Miranda

I am back to my workout regime and eating better so that I can shed the pounds I gained after foot surgery. I am starting to feel like myself again and it makes me happy!

[Jenny]

I want to get my house decluttered this summer! Thanks for the awesome freebie!

[Jessica]

[Kat]

I want to run my first 5k. I've started training about a zillion times, but I'm not a runner, so I keep quiting. Ugh. Not this time. Thanks for the inspiring word art! I'll use it when I scrap my 5k pictures :-)

[kira]

[Mary]

Thanks! I LOVE this. I am trying to go biking every day.

[AnaFlor]

Hi Gina, tks so much for the lovely wordart. It's that I need now.

[Monica (shopica)]

[Patamomma]

Wow I would like to eventually be flush enough to stay home. Patty

[tamara]

I would love to be able to get life in balance.

[Sandra]

Thank you for the inspiration. I'd like to finish all the things I've started! Mmmm, that might take me a life time. Well you've got to have goals.

[Jessica]

I love your word art! I want to work with my husband to get our office/craft room in order. It is a big deal to him, but I keep putting him off because it's too overwhelming to me. I want to see things from his point of view more often! :) Thanks for the gift!

[JenniferZ]

Remember to laugh/smile at the little things. Work out. Run a 5k also. Go to Hawaii

[lissel]

Thanks for the word art Gina! Love it! I want to make it through the next 29 wks. of this already exhausting pregnancy, without going insane and without traumatizing my two little girls too much!

[marsha]

Scrap more! Play more golf! Loose weight! Eat healthier!
Thanks for the great wordart!! Loved your life in photos!! Very cool!

[Rona]

what an AWESOME freebie--thank you!

Something I want to accomplish: I'm doing short term here---> I want to (NEED) to finish a whole lot of work involving salaries and org charts and websites. ugh! I want to be able to finish that this week and the next.

long term want-to-accomplish stuff: lose weight of course. to be more concrete, even at least getting on the Wii Fit board everyday! :)

ok that's MY novel, lol!

[HeatherM]

Well, I just accomplished something very big tonight, so I tell you about that. Our neighbors abandoned their house and dog over a week ago, and I've been caring for her since. And tonight, I finally got her adopted out!!! She will be living on 5 acres of land chasing squirrels all day long. Doggie heaven, I tell you. Praise God, what a burden to have lifted from my shoulders!!!
