SEARCHING FOR SUNSHINE

We have had a lot of gray, gloomy days lately.  It is hard to find enthusiasm after so many dreary mornings and afternoons, so I today I am surviving on memories of sunshine from my wedding day.

I could go on and on about how perfect this day was for us and I'm sure that I will, but I will do my best to spread it out. 

....ok, I just lost myself in all of the memories and smiles......and now my lunch time is over.....

More to come, lots more......

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!

Raise your hand if you are the best dad a girl could ask for!!

Happy Father's Day to my coach, my mentor, my teacher, my HERO!!

Thank you for all of the lessons you have taught me whether I chose to learn them the hard way or the easy way! :)

I LOVE YOU!!!!

Tara Jean

PS I miss you!!

WAIT FOR ME....

Anybody else running to catch themself?  Its like being on a treadmill.
I am trying to do everything at once and in doing so, I'm accomplishing very little.

I have been thinking that I need to start from the beginning and I have come to the conclusion that I just don't know where that is anymore.  So.....I am going to play catch up on blogging in no order, rhyme or reason.  Hang on to your hats and in no way try to make sense of my timeline.  :)



Fargo Marathon 2010



I will start with the update, and the reason I am on a constant run these days, that I am off of my crutches.  I received clearance 1.5 days before we flew out for our wedding trip!  I am getting stronger with each day and I absolutely cannot wait to be running again with my pups. 

I am going to get back into the race circuit over the 4th of July at the local 5k/10k run.  One of my best friends is coming to join me and my biggest fans will be on the sidelines too (Ma and Pa B.) I'm very excited!!

Well back to today's to-do list.....May your weekend bring many accomplishments and lots of sunshine.  TJO

I'M BACK

It has been a while since I have sat and blogged with everything going on.  I will have to keep this short as I have 3 pups waiting for their morning walk.....

May 2, 2011 was THE perfect day!!!!  With the help of family and friends, my wedding was all that I had dreamt of and more.  The weather was gorgeous, the coffee was brewed just right and there was no pressing needed after carrying my wedding dress in and out of planes and a packed car (more on this later.)

Well, sorry so short but now I'm getting licked and nudged, so here are a few pictures that my wonderful and talented aunt did on her blog (http://salls-country-life.blogspot.com/), also check out MOB's blog for pictures (http://knitandpearl-barb.blogspot.com/), to start my blogging off again.  TJO

DO NOT ADJUST YOUR MONITOR

I have been so excited to share my dress fitting experience, but do not want to spoil the surprise or shock in my case.  I have been waiting 30+ years to wear the white dress, so I have decided to keep everyone in waiting for a bit long for the big reveal.  Here a few pictures to tease you with though.  :)

I go to pick up my dress this weekend and hopefully will not be quite as pasty white as I was when I tried it on.  I have been using Jergens Natural Glow self tanner recommended by a friend.  So far, I also highly recommend it.  As a good friend of mine stated, You only get one chance with the skin you live in!!

We have less than 2 weeks until we fly out and I could not be more excited!  More bridal events to follow....

BEEN A WHILE....

So much going on lately and the clock seems to be ticking faster with each day.
I'm not sure where to even start with all of the good happenings.  I do not want to spoil the fun, so each new thing will require a new blog.  :)

Today, I have decided to start with my new purse. 

I picked this up on the clearance rack and just love it.  I have started to get up early in the morning again, in hopes that I will be adjusted by the time I am able to run again.  This was my first project and learned the hard way (not once, but twice) that coffee MUST come before sewing!!!

Its first outing out was a trip to my wedding dress fitting.  Stay tuned.......

19 days!

NO DISGUISES

Because I am unable to do that last month before my wedding workout, I have been paying extra attention to my eating habits.  Still no calorie counting! In doing so, C picked me up some Lean Cuisine meals for me (per my request) to be able to take to work.  He did a great job!

I have to give today's blog spot to Lean Cuisines and their awesome flavor and taste!!  Today was Chicken Chow Mein for 4 g. fat, 240 cal., and 3 g. fiber.  And also the perfect amount to not leave you hungry.

Sending my kudos and keep up the good work!
