Wowza!

Yikes! It's been a REALLY long time since I last did a post. I guess I'm not cut out for this blog thing. Well, to catch you all up since last time I wrote.... not a lot of new has happened. Wes and I close to our 5 month anniversary (awww) and have never been happier. Work is going great and I absolutely love my students that I have this year.

As I write, Wes and his dad are actually at Wal-Mart participating and snatching up Black Friday deals. The last couple of years have almost become a tradition for shopping. Because Wes always has to work on the Friday after Thanksgiving, his family has come up to Des Moines to share it with us. The last 2 years have been great and this year is not exception. We eat, watch movies, and then scour the Des Moines Register Ads while making a list of potential Christmas gifts to purchase. Now, to be honest, many of the things I wrote down were clothing items and most of them caught my eye. I'm not getting up insanely early to buy stuff for myself, but I will definitely be making a trip to Younkers tomorrow to use my $10 off coupon. Wes and his dad will be going back to Wal-Mart at 5am for some early purchases. Not my cup of tea.

On a completely different note, I think I have decided to set a goal to run a half marathon. It has been something I've wanted to do for a while and many of my friends have blogged about their experiences. However, I'm a VERY beginning runner, so I am quite apprehensive about the prospect of the distance just because right now I can't run even a mile without feeling like I'm going to die. Anyone out there want to train with me???

Well, I'll end this by saying that I promise it won't be 4 months until I post again. I guess I feel silly writing on this if no one is reading it. So, if you are, let me know!
