Yeah, I like it too

Lately, I have been hearing from friends and family about how they wake up at 5 or 6 in the morning to exercise. I thought,"Sounds like a good idea, but there is no way I could will myself out of bed that early." Several times I have set my alarm early. Each time I hit the snooze or reset it. That is until today. I woke up at 5:20. I exercised from 5:30-6:30. Took a shower and got dressed by 7:15. 7:15 is when I usually get up. It felt awesome to have all of that done before the kids were even awake.

I always thought I would be exhausted if I woke up that early. But so far, today I've had a lot of energy. I did a lot of laundry, the dishes, and more. All this before 1 p.m. I don't know if this is a result of getting up early and exercising, but I'm willing to try it for a few days to see how it goes.

Today is my sister, Kimberly's, birthday. Happy Birthday Kim! March is a busy month for my family. I have 2 neice's, a nephew, brother-in-law, and sister's b-day. Luckily, none of my kids were born in March. I don't think I could afford it. I am so happy spring is here. Even though winter weather started late, it was really cold . I am ready for pretty flowers, and warm weather! I want the kids to be able to play outside without the risk of frost bite. Winter is my least favorite season, and I am happy it's over with.

Life Update:
Not much going on. Just the same old daily routines. I'm trying to get back into the routine of exercise. It seems to be harder for me then I thought it would be. I really want to loose weight before Ben and I go to NY. Ughh.

May
-May 3rd is our 10th anniversary! We are going to NY city. One of our favorite bands (Too Much Joy) is doing their first concert in 10 years! Since Ben does their website, the lead singer put me and Ben on the guest list. How cool is that!? We are planning on going to NY for 4 days. I love NY.

This year for Claire's b-day we did a valentine themed party. It was originally planned for the day before Valentines day, but because of snow days, it ended up happening a week later.

I used pink and red decorations. Six of her friends came dressed in pink or red. We played a few games and did cake and ice cream. Having 7 little girls in the house was a little crazy, but I think they had fun.

Here are some photos:

So, I finally saw The Prestige. I did like it, but I liked The Illusionist better. If I hadn't already bought The Prestige, I wouldn't have bought it. I think I was expecting more. I thought they did some neat/strange stuff, but I didn't really feel too attached to the characters. I tend to like movies that delve more deeply into the characters.
