Here's a few things I have been up to:

• This weekend I did more "organizing". Some people think I have a disease (which I do), but I just want to get to a point where I feel that our home is filled with things we regularly use. So far we've cleaned our offices and basement. And I'm currently working on all my crafting supplies and the girls' room. I'm reading a book called "It's All Too Much" that talks a lot about creating a peaceful, clutter-free life. The author is very real and talks a lot about how organizing is not just about buying more bins and boxes to put all of our stuff into. We all want more things, so the biggest challenge to maintaining an organized home is to minimize what you bring IN!
• Saturday I ran 8 miles with Emily. That is the farthest I have ever ran. It felt so good, but did wear me down the rest of the day. I just love the feeling of a morning run. We had upper 40 degree weather and it actually felt very warm by the end. We've run in a lot of weather conditions and we were getting used to the cold. Emily and I are going to do some 5K runs together in March, and then I'll do Bloomsday, and then I'd like to run a half marathon before the end of the summer.
• I went and got a physical a few weeks ago. We have a great doctor (she's actually our age and she grew up in Bozeman and went to MSU for undergrad) and I hadn't gone to the doctor myself in a long time. Everything was great, and I did get my cholesterol checked. Before I had kids, my cholesterol measured borderline high at around 230 and now it measured 157! I thought it would be lower since I have generally eaten healthier since having children, but that much lower really shocked me. Although after last week's Valentines treats, it may have gone up. Chocolate is so good....
• And finally, I got a new laptop computer for work, and have finally got it all set up. When you work for a small company, YOU become the technical department! So I have definitely learned a lot about software and networking (with Kurt's help, of course). I love my new computer though, it's so much faster and the graphics are great for my drafting.

Superbowl

So we had a little get together on Superbowl Sunday. We all ate too much oh-so-good, but oh-so-bad food and enjoyed the commercials (er, I mean game). I think I actually watched maybe 1/2 hour of the whole game. Here are some funny photos I took that day.

Evan meets Rogaine

OK, I get it....

So some people I know (OK, several) have given me not-so-subtle hints that I don't post enough. Yeah, yeah I get it. Even those lurkers out there (and you know who you are) have mentioned my lack of posting. So I redesigned my page and will be adding some much needed updates. Enjoy...
