Hello my fellow blog readers...how are you?? Are you still out there?
I haven't been updating lately just because I have been trying to keep up with everyday life..and well, lots of other fun & exciting changes for our little family too.
Let's see where shall I start? First off, we still have our condo on the market, and are hoping very soon someone will come and fall in love with it here. It's been a good home to us, but it's really starting to get smaller and smaller, as the three of us are living in a one bedroom...thank goodness for the loft, which is being used for Connor's room. I've been working on keeping closets cleaned and organized...as well as hiding all the baby stuff...just in case we get that phone call of a prospect.
For me...I'm still able to be home with Connor, which has been more than I could have ever dreamed of....but, I too also need to do something to help out with the current economy. So, I started doing something I have a passion for....photography! So far, by word of mouth, I feel it's going GREAT...and best part of it all, I'm LOVING it!
I also plan to be babysitting a newborn in about a month. Only something part time, three days a week. I met him today (took his newborn pics) and fell in love...he is sooo incredibly cute!
I am also helping 17 people on a journey of weight loss. It's been so inspiring and awesome! It's my very own "Biggest Loser". We are in our second round, and the first round which was 8 weeks, a total of 15 people lost 186lbs!!!! I took that weight and did the pound for pound challenge, and was able to donate 186lbs of food to the local foodbank! We concluded the first round with going out to a celebratory dinner. This next round of 17 people, I have challenged them to complete a 5k (walk or jog!). It's been so motivating to hear stories about everyone. I've been doing this all through an online blog...and had everyone submit $20 to participate...the winner last time won, $300! It's so great to know that I am helping people make a right step to a healthier life...and at the same time, they are helping me. I now go to the YMCA and workout at least 5 days a week and since Connor was born have lost 58lbs.
As for Sean. He's been training (along with me) for the Cleveland Half marathon. He plans to do the complete full Akron marathon in September! He's also has a few eggs in a basket for a new job position...we have our fingers crossed and happy to know that he is looking at multiple positive prospects. He is loving being a father...and it's the best thing to sit and watch him with Connor...and well, Connor adores Sean. Sean is such a great husband and father, I've truly been blessed.
And, well, I'm sure there's lots more to ramble on about, but for now...I'm signing off. If you'd like to keep up with my photography you can take a look at either of these sites...which are both a work in progress still.
