january: the month wherein it snowed. alot.

a few recollections:

<< andy had his first colonoscopy (41 years ahead of schedule.) the results were much better than expected and we were so relieved.  after helping him prep for that, i have developed a serious dread for the day i need one!

<< reading has finally clicked for ava carmel and i find her curled up all over the place with a book.  i love hearing that little voice.  i hope she keeps reading out loud for a long time.

<< i cut my bangs again.

<< we had a freak ice storm in salt lake city.  that ice next to ashlyn's boot was covering everything and was surprisingly thick and oh so slippery!!  there were a couple times when i was walking the kids into school and we all landed in a giant heap on top of each other.  it would have been embarrassing, but when i looked around, everyone else was in the same boat.  i may have got the giggles a lot.

<< in 2013 i am trying to become more aware.  this month my major realization is that i am really lazy when it comes to the prep work that is required for everyday life to happen smoothly.  maybe this is the root of feeling overwhelmed so much?

<< i signed up for a half marathon!  remember when i started running/walking most days a year ago?  well i discovered i actually LOVE running!  what a shocker.  seriously i had no idea.
