More birthdays in Europe...




Sorry I've been slacking lately! I have so many projects going on, I sometimes forget to update...

So my husband is turning THIRTY-ONE this weekend! Eeek! We do birthdays big, as I toured Europe in February for my 29th, so he's leaving for Germany on Friday and staying a week traveling Europe. Very exciting! Since we have a 3 year old, and no family here to help out with babysitting, I'm staying home with Delilah while Ryan travels (don't worry, we already have a few family trips lined up through the rest of the year!). I think Ryan will be hitting up his 30th, 31st, 32nd, & 34th countries on this trip -- his goal is 100 and he's doing extraordinarily well meeting that goal!

Last weekend I talked to my Dad in Georgia and we confirmed that we'd be spending Thanksgiving in Georgia! Woohoo! Which to me means I need to kick my workouts up a few notches... I've lost 70 lbs since I moved from Georgia (Los Angeles will do that for you!) but I've been hovering around this size for awhile and it's time to get serious again. Sooo I've been keeping my treadmill in motion and trying out vegan & gluten free recipes.

Delilah has been really interested in flash cards & Minecraft this week. She most certainly has her Daddy's brain, as she is obsessed with technology, so it's interesting for me to think of parenting her like that. Her brain is wired different than mine (in SUCH a good way!!!), her attention span is incredible, her ability to solve is amazing, her ability to just process and learn is far greater than mine... I never imagined she'd get Ryan's way of thinking (way over my head) but I'm beyond grateful and think this will be an exciting learning experience for us both.

My hair is growing soooo fast! Thank you Jesus! I had the worst haircut of my life in February, and I'm still recovering (mentally) lol!! It was chopped off like a boy, but here's how long it is now:

Still really short, but I'm just glad it's touching my shoulders. I have some pretty pricey real-hair extensions that I love using and it's so hard to blend them with short hair.

Anyway! Time to go put on the active wear, grab the jogging stroller, and see where we end up... :)
