I can't believe it

How did I not notice that it's been 4 weeks almost since I posted anything?!?! Time sure does fly.

It's been a pretty busy September, a good kind of busy. Not the kind where you are running around like a crazy person or traveling all over the place. The kind where there is just enough stuff to do to keep you from being bored.

Let's start with Lily to catch you up. So last I wrote here, Lily was getting started in Kindergarten. She is loving every minute of it. It's kind of hard to get her to tell me anything specific about her day, but she talks about her friends and a lot about her teacher. Her teacher is a major Disney fan and that makes Lily ever more excited. She tells me everything about her teacher and it makes me smile. This is what I wanted, I wanted Lily to have a teacher to get her excited about going to school and about learning.

Lily is doing well with gaining independence and building good habits. She is practicing her sight words every day and can read almost all of the words they sent home at the beginning of the year. I have started putting together sentences for her with those words and we have a lot of fun with it. She is playing outdoor soccer and having fun with that. She gets to decide on indoor soccer or basketball next.

I've gotten really active myself with the school. I work in the library 2 days a week, I'm coordinator for Box Tops for Education (feel free to save them and send them to me,) we've started our meetings for Girl Scouts (Daisy troop leader here with my girl Carrie) and I'm Vice President of the PTO. All of this with some seriously amazing parents. I tell you, the parents that are active with the school are ACTIVE with the school. I'm getting to know a small group of them really well and feeling like Toledo is home.

I know... I can't believe I said that. I put it on Facebook the other day and blew the minds of many others. I know everyone told me that I'd eventually be ok and I had a hard time believing it. The thing is, I needed something to happen to start meeting people that made me feel like I belong around here and I guess school starting and getting involved did just that.

I'm still working on my personal health and fitness goals. I've been kind of holding steady for a while and starting tomorrow I'm ready to go hardcore. I'm planning on really dialing in on my nutrition which I've been pretty decent at but feeling like I am letting lax a little too much. I'm going to keep pushing my early morning workouts and add some double days!!! I'm ready to feel as amazing as I did after my first round of 21 day fix when I really killed some goals!!

That's a pretty basic summary of September and does do it the justice it deserves lol. But I've got challengers to check in on because I've spent the day cleaning and don't want them to be ignored. Until next time.......
