Hey all! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and are getting ready for the New Year! We've been traveling all over the Midwest, spending tons of time with family. It's been a Christmas full of family, JOY and love. Jackson made this Christmas extra fun for all. What a JOY to be around. Below are a lot of pictures reflecting what we've been up to!
So excited to see what the New Year brings.
One fun thing I did during the month of December was become a #Elf4Health. I had to do a lot of healthy challenges every day for 4 weeks. If you check out my Twitter page, you'll see all the neat stuff I did!
I can tell you we will be continuing our healthy lifestyles and are looking at purchasing a new car so we don't get stuck with double car payments. We're also on the hunt for a house with plenty of space for Jackson to run around and for our family to grow...
Let's just say 2014 is looking like an expensive year. But all I ask and pray for is GOOD HEALTH and HAPPINESS for ALL!
Blessings and good health to you all.
P.S. The pics are in no particular order.

| One of the #Elf4Health challenges was to run my fastest mile. I did it in 9 minutes 26 seconds. I'm hooked now. Before my circuit training at the gym, I now run a mile as fast as I can. I beat this time by 16 seconds the next time I ran. I LOVE this workout! |
