-10 Year Class Pre-Reunion Weekend
It has been a hopping summer but tons of fun. I have lots of layouts that I should take photos of. I have been loving Cosmo Cricket, My Minds Eye, American Crafts, and Pink Paislee. I have scrapped about 10 pages of my trip to Door County and have enough photos to do an entire book!
I have been designing for my favorite Scrapbook Store in the world Rochester Scrapbooking Company! . I have created a few page layouts and cards. You can buy my page kits there! . It has been a dream come true to work with RSC and the wonderful friends I have there. I love that there are 3 Bellywings on their design team.
I have also started on a pact to make 28 a great year for me. I am getting healthier in every sense of the word excercising more, eating healthier, and living life with more laughter. I run my first 5k tomorrow (well my second since I did one in college). I know it won’t be fast nor will I be near the front of the back, but I think it will be a blast and I WILL finish it, which is more then many people could say. We also have joined the local athletic club and I am very excited about working out there and taking more Zumba classes, so I can look as hot as my best friend Elizabeth (check her out below if you do not believe me.) I will probably start a new blog to chronicle this journey and keep me honest.
Libby, Elizabeth, and I out at the Pre-Reunion. Elizabeth has been my best friend since grade school and Libby and I have been fab friends since high school. I miss them both since they are back in Dayton. I am blessed to have such beautiful and fun friends.
