Update

As with all things non-school, work or fitness related I've been slacking here. Things have been as busy as ever, but we had the chance to take a trip over my spring break. We visited friends in NC, went to Savannah where we got to meet Paula and Jamie Deen then off to Atlanta to visit family. We had an amazing time and just loved Savannah. Paula and her son Jamie were just as friendly and wonderful as you would have hoped they would be. I did get scolded by Paula for not eating the "best part" of my chicken pot pie - the crust! Ha, it was hilarious, but Matt came to my rescue and told her we were working on it.

School is plugging along and there are more and more days that make me wonder if I can get through it. I know I will and I can, but it's become more of a struggle. The struggle is not related to the difficulty of the material, but more to the emotional drainage and lack of time to really do anything else! I know in the long run it will have all been worth it, but in the moment it can be easy to lose site of that. :)

The dogs are doing good and we're looking into adopting a French Bulldog from a rescue. We've applied for a couple and now we are waiting to see if we will be accepted. It's so awful how people treat animals and my heart bleeds for those that have had to experience the neglect and abuse that I've read about. If only we could treat the "owners" the same way they treated their poor precious "animals." I think if I had a thousand acres I'd run my own shelter and save as many animals as I could.

Matt and I are getting geared up for volleyball and softball this summer. We enjoy playing sports together so much - most of the time. :) There is the occasional disagreement, but it always ends in a good laugh. Matt bought me a new bat and I am excited for some warm weather to start practicing with it. It's lighter than I was using, so it'll require some adjustment to my swing, but should result in me hitting the ball even farther!

We're getting ready to do some home remodeling and I'm very excited about that. It will be so beautiful when it's done - but we will still want to move! :)

Other than that, all is good!
