Which is fine by me! I took 1 picture of our Friday night…<br />

We enjoyed some sunshine with Berkley at the greenway on Saturday & a yummy dinner grilled at home with a side of House of Cards!</div>

This week was the 4th week of the CrossFit Open & it was a bear for sure! B & I both did it Sunday, oh what fun :)</div>

Rowing, Toes to bar & Wallballs! Ahhh! +2 Cleans not on camera :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Thanks to the hubs for taking some pics for me & counting my reps {or not counting them!! Ughh…getting no repped is the worst! ha}!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All of our weekends sound a little the same lately. We tend to stay home a lot. We were invited out with some friends from the gym for a birthday, but we didn't end up going. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Part of me feels bad about not going, or not making plans with other friends we haven't seen in a while, or not being more social. But Brandon is gone 3-4 nights a week and talking on the phone all the time doesn't really cut it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We need like, actual, face time. To actually be physically present, together. To spend time in the same state, house & room.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The grass is greener where you water it & we want our marriage to have green grass. So, presently, we're watering our grass.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That may end up sounding like we're really boring people who never go out or do much. And it may sound like we're anti-social and never hang out with other couples or friends. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But we're ok with that. We do have friends & we do go out sometimes! But when we stay in, we're just watering our grass :)</div>

Happy Monday! It's rainy & cold here & my tolerance of cold weather is running thin. Very thin! But that's ok because I PR'd my deadlift in the 14.3 Open workout today, so I can't complain!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I discovered a few things in my travels to Atlanta over the weekend…</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 - Cruise Control is the bomb dot com! My corolla never had cruise, so I've never really had the pleasure of crusin' it on road trips. Consider me changed! It's a must have for any interstate driving.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 - I really dislike windshield wipers!! I already knew this, but it was just reconfirmed on my drive home last night. Windshield wipers & rain the whole way! Just something about the repetitiveness gets on my nerves! I don't like repetitive noises either. Sends me over the edge. You can imagine how well that worked in a classroom right!? ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3 - Justin Timberlake's new song completely reverts me back to my former middle/high school self! This song comes on the radio, I find myself swooning and suddenly I'm 15 again!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/Y8ygKnBtKAk?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
It just has such a 90's/N'Sync vibe to me {ps #teamNSYNC #NSYNC4life} & I can't get enough!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4 - CrossFit Kids is going to be SO much fun!! I was initially a little nervous about the amount of work it might be, but after this weekend's course, I'm so, so excited! As a former teacher, there were all these demands - grades, tests, standards to meet, etc. But with CrossFit kids, it's so relaxed! The most important thing is for the kids to have FUN {what a concept!} and have fun while moving! There's no barbells or weights until advanced kids or teens, so you know they're safe, it's all about having fun and teaching proper form. And really, they have <i>years</i> to get the form down, so there's no pressure! I'm very excited!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's to a quick work week…I saw my husband for all of 7.5 waking hours over the weekend, so hurry up Thursday!!</div>

It should be a fun weekend, although I'll really miss my boys!

Congrats! We're all skinny! Hahaha, I personally work more towards being healthy & strong {so much more freeing than trying to be skinny all the time!}, but still, that's funny!</div>

Thankfully, I didn't let it get me down or make me feel guilty! I knew the weekend would roll on, be just as wonderful despite my lack of blogging, & I'd eventually get back to my blog this week.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And I was right, here I am :) Currently blogging to you from our patio, getting a little vitamin D - it's quite perfect actually! All this warm, sunshiny weather has me itching for spring! I sure hope this weather is here to stay! It's been a long, cold winter {I'm sure most would agree}, but this weather sure does a lot for lifting your spirits & adding a little pep to your step!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Last week I really didn't have too much to blog about…more of the same 'round here! Wednesday I had a little date with Andrea to grab lunch & a mani, it's our yearly tradition :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Friday, I judged B in the 14.2 WOD…</div>

Saturday morning, I worked out with the 830 class, we coached the 930 & then ran a few errands. B picked up a new suit for Puerto Rico {31 days!} from our local little surf shop {I know, a surf shop in Charlotte, kinda crazy} & I snagged these cute shoes from Target…</div>

Sunday we woke up feeling awesome, I guess that's what happens when you're asleep by 10, even though you lose an hour & wake up at about 845! I know, our life is riveting…try not to be jealous ;) Brandon redid 14.2 getting a total of 252 reps!! I got a total of 15 reps! Ha, but I did get my very 1st chest-to-bar pull-ups, so still something to celebrate!</div>

Saturday night we started off at <a href="http://discoverlennyboy.com/">Lenny Boy Brewery</a>, a local kombucha brewery here in Charlotte. {Kombucha is a non-alcoholic fermented drink made from tea, sugar, water, & a symbiotic culture of bacteria & yeast. Some consider it a raw food with probiotics & health benefits!} We've gotten into drinking kombucha lately since B has been training so hard for the Open & we haven't really been drinking too much alcohol. We were excited to finally try Lenny Boy out!</div>

Lenny Boy is tucked away in South End, their little tap room is really cute! We got a flight to sample all of their traditional kombuchas & their wild kombucha ales (containing alcohol)…</div>

Brandon redid the Open workout, getting <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_jMZMrehYA">354 reps</a> this time, then it was my turn! I got 248 reps, which was my exact goal! I got 5 rounds completed & 23 more double unders, so I was very pleased!<br />

Brandon was actually home for 5 nights in a row last week, Wednesday night through last night! Crazy!!<br />

Friday night we brought home our favorite salads from Dean & Deluca, indulged in some House of Cards {we're addicted by the way!!} & I painted my nails. Pretty good Friday night :)<br />
<br />
Saturday I finally got to wear my new lulu shorts I bought with Christmas money…<br />

We got home & washed my car, took Berkley for a little walk & then enjoyed a nap before dinner :) We went out to Red Rocks with 2 other couple friends! I meant to take pics, but never got that far. It's so nice to have friends in our same life stage!<br />
<br />
Sunday I went to FlyWheel with a girlfriend then headed to the gym for a little weightlifting…<br />

I took today as a rest day & it was really nice, Mondays aren't a normal rest day for me. I love being home in the middle of the day. I did some work on the couch while the sun streamed in & Berkley napped, then I even closed my eyes for about 30 minutes…</div>

I've never really thought of myself as an introvert, but the older I get, the more I realize how much I crave & enjoy time to myself. Don't get me wrong, I still thrive from being around others, helping others & hosting others. But I so enjoy quiet moments at home, quiet moments at the gym, me time. <br />
<br />
In those moments I remember how incredibly blessed I am. To be where we are so far in life, to own our own business, to truly enjoy this stage of life. I'm so thankful for that view in the picture above…a beautiful home I share with my husband, a little fur baby who brings us more joy than we thought possible, the sun shining.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't even know if all of that made sense, haha. But it did in my head :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Life is good, y'all, even when it's hard! I hope your weekend was spectacular!!</div>

1 - I came out of the shower the other night to this scene! Haha, cracked me up! He must have had some important emails to send with a quick little bone break in between!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 - We've been using our old comforter for a few weeks now, as you can see above, since our sweet little cat decided to barf all over our white comforter!! Lovely, right!? Thankfully, we have an awesome member at out gym who happens to own a dry cleaner in Pineville. He had me bring it by to work his magic & we've yet to put it back on yet since the white dog pictured above needs a serious bath! B just doesn't understand my need for a white comforter, but I love the way it looks!</div>

3 - Have you heard of <a href="http://www.fabletics.com/index.cfm?action=home.boutique">Fabletics</a>?? A friend just recently turned me onto them…they're an athletic wear company developed in part by Kate Hudson & you can get 2 & 3 piece outfits starting at $49.99! That alone sounds like a steal, but the real kicker is your 1st purchase is 50% off!! So a 3 piece outfit - bottoms, sports bra & a top is - just $25! That's pretty much a steal! Oh so much cheaper than my beloved lulu lemon! </div>

We're going to Puerto Rico!!!! Talk about best birthday present ever!! He needed to make sure we didn't have anything going on the weekend he picked out for us to go, so he needed to go ahead & tell me so we could book our flights! We fly out April 10th & come back the 13th and I'm already counting down the days - 48 days!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We have been longing for a tropical vacation so this couldn't come at a more perfect time! We'll only be gone 3 nights, but I think it's just what we need. And Puerto Rico has a special place in our hearts, it's where we got engaged almost 4 years ago! I'm so, so excited!!!! Happy Birthday to me, right!?</div>

I had lots of rest & relaxation, which was a nice change of pace!! We knew Friday evening classes would be light at the gym so I stayed home & made one of my <a href="http://paleomg.com/almost-5-ingredient-pizza-spaghetti-pie/">fav meals</a> as my pre-competition dinner!</div>

We had 3 WODs to complete that day, a weightlifting WOD, a chipper (you chip away at the task) & then a relay to end! We all PR'd on our weight lifts so we were happy about that! We were just a few reps short of finishing the chipper in the 20 min time cap & finished the relay with seconds to spare in the 30 min time cap!</div>

I squeezed in a mini workout Sunday morning, then attended a friend's baby shower, but sadly, didn't take a single pic! It was such a great shower though, we can't wait to meet Baby Girl Sly! We made banana pancakes for dinner (another favorite!) and watched House of Cards. It was lovely!</div>

<br />
1 - February is off to a great start! We had family in town last weekend for my niece's 8th birthday! 8!! Seriously, where does the time go!?<br />

<br />2 - This past weekend we randomly stumbled upon this beauty at Home Goods & brought her home! The TV stand, not the cute cat statue ;)<div>

A "grown up" TV stand had been on my wish list for the house since we moved in, but it wasn't a big priority. We happened to randomly stop by Home Goods Saturday & couldn't leave without this piece! It was a steal! Getting the new TV stand meant we "needed" a new sound system. So we swung by Best Buy & got a sound bar as well. Happy Valentine's Day to us!! :)</div>

4 - I printed this <a href="http://kincaidparade.com/2014/02/printables-for-your-pinning-pleasure.html">printable</a> from Rachel at <a href="http://kincaidparade.com/">Kincaid Parade</a> to frame in our bathroom! It's a great reminder for us right now. The weeks can seem very long at moments when Brandon's away & hours are long at the gym. Don't get me wrong, it's so rewarding!! But 5+ years of B traveling every week have gotten <i>very </i>old, for him more than me even, and it takes a lot of work owning your own business. But it is all a <i>Great Work</i> and we cannot come down right now.<br />

It's pretty, that's for sure! Be of course the whole world here shuts down. We cancelled our 7pm classes last night, early classes this morning, & all our PM classes tonight. Doesn't look favorable for tomorrow either!<br />
<br />
6 - I guess the snow couldn't have come at a better time, though. I seemed to have come down with some sort of head cold! Yuck. And honestly, I'm not home that often, so I'm soaking up this snowed in time & making the best of it! Although, I wish B was here to be snowed in with me!<br />
<br />
My cold wasn't that bad Monday, but yesterday I was really feeling blehh. Typically I'm of the mindset to sweat it out, but I decided to nap it out yesterday & stayed home from the night classes. I slept so well last night & am feeling much better today! Still super stuffy, but well enough to do an at home WOD!<br />

I started with Man Makers! Woo buddy, they're good!! Jump out to plank, pushup, row on each side, jump up, squat clean thruster = 1! I did 5x10 with my 10lb dumbbells & I was sweatin'!!</div>

Then I did this WOD I found on Pinterest (by the way, CrossFit Pineville now has a <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/cfpineville/">Pinterest Page</a>!) so I don't end up Fat Michelle while stuck at home!! Did it in 17:23, care to try & beat me? :)</div>

9 - I will not be eating lots of chocolate this Valentine's since we're doing a 6 week Paleo Challenge at the gym. It started this past Monday & it's been great so far! It's nice to exercise a little self discipline! I'm sure I won't miss the chocolate that bad! Mind over matter, my friends.</div>

It's quite lovely! And my computer is open to blog…so here we go! :)<br />
<br />
I wanted to be sure to recap Christmas for the pure sake of having it documented here. It's seriously the longest post every, so feel free to skip over this post or just scroll through all the pics!<br />

The great sickness of 2014 began that weekend, also! My nephew had a low grade fever & runny nose, but was a trooper for weekend fun! My parents were staying with us while in town, it was fun to have them over! My mom started feeling under the weather Monday. DayQuil became her best friend & she helped me prep for Christmas Eve Brunch the next day! I was feeling slightly under the weather, just some drainage & a little sore throat, but not as bad!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We made <a href="http://www.elanaspantry.com/cinnamon-bun-muffins/">Cinnamon Bun Muffins</a>, <a href="http://crossfitpineville.wordpress.com/2013/10/28/fitspiration-monday-15/">Uncle Warren Pancakes</a> & <a href="http://www.elanaspantry.com/chocolate-pecan-pie/">Chocolate Pecan Pie</a> (not for brunch, obvi!)! All were a big hit by the way, if you need any gluten free ideas or a good Paleo pie recipe!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Monday night, B & Warren coached at the gym, so I stayed home & made dinner! I introduced my parents to one of our favorite <a href="http://www.thecavegirldish.com/2013/01/stuffed-spaghetti-squash.html">Spaghetti Squash dishes</a> & it was a hit :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tuesday was Christmas Eve, no one showed up at the gym for the 6am class (shocking right!?) so B & I got our own workout in & then came home to host brunch! We did our sibling gift exchange, also!</div>

My mom & I whipped up our own version of this <a href="http://www.food.com/recipe/crockpot-breakfast-casserole-paleo-509262">breakfast casserole</a> (cooked in the oven, not the crockpot) while we all showered up.</div>

We left their house & headed up to Concord to see the rest of the family.

She was missing most of sweet Weston's first Christmas & was so sad :( We were keeping our fingers crossed she would magically be better by the time we got there the next night, ha.</div>

Saturday turned out to be worse for Weston than Friday :( Croup gets worse before it gets better apparently! He's such a busy boy, but just laid in his mama & daddy's bed all day! Ashley & Weston had to miss Christmas number 2 with B's grandparents, but we were sure to bring home plenty of food for them, haha.</div>

It was a great visit, despite all the sickness! That definitely put a little damper on things, but great to be able to stay for a few days & enjoy our time there!</div>

We drove home the 30th, another looong trip in the car! Once we got home we put all of Christmas away! </div>

Another Christmas in the books! And finally recapped on the blog! Thanks goodness, feels good to be caught up :)</div>

I think it's really all in my head, I feel like if I can't blog more than once a week then I just shouldn't blog & then I get months behind & then I haven't blogged since Christmas & now it's February & well, here we are.<br />
<br />
Here I am, somehow months behind, but somehow still wanting to come back! I put so much pressure on myself to blog & then it begins to feel like a chore & I end up just skipping it all together. I do most of the social media work for the gym as well….so maybe there's little left in me to blog after that!?<br />
<br />
I should really figure out how to get over all of that, though! It's all pressure from myself. So silly, really! What the heck!?<br />
<br />
And I really don't know where to go from here…most likely a few picture dump/catch up posts?? That way I don't feel like I completely skipped Christmas, New Years & January in general? Haha<br />
<br />
Here's a short recap of January & I'll be back later this week to <strike>picture dump</strike> recap Christmas :)<br />

The first weekend in January we hosted Fight for Fitness as part of the <a href="http://www.ncfitnessexpo.com/">Greater Charlotte Health & Fitness Expo</a>! It was a long, but great day!! We got to meet lots of CrossFitters from around Charlotte, give back to a local charity & show tons of people that CrossFit can be for anyone!</div>

If you haven't noticed, it's been super chilly this winter!! At least for most of the country! We don't use our heat at the gym so there have been many a cold day at the box! I wear lots & lots of layers, sometimes my ski pants, and more layers. I'm SO ready for warm weather! I can't wait to sweat ;)</div>

We attempted to go to our 1st Panther's game of the season! I say attempted because we failed miserably at going. This was the 2nd round of the playoffs & tickets were stupid expensive! I was very sad about that on the way home, but it turned out we didn't do so hot & B made the most delicious bacon sliders while I snuggled white thing & watched the game from the couch. Not too shabby after all!</div>

I've told a couple people lately, and I think it's true with the CrossFit community in general, but there are so many people at our gym that, otherwise, I most likely would have never met in my life. We're different for different reasons, but CrossFit made our paths cross & I've gotten to know them. Really, I'm so glad to have met these people because I just love them! It's such a joy to know them & I truly look forward to seeing these people every day!!</div>

We both competed individually, a first for both of us, B in RX Men & I did Scaled Women. I was definitely nervous, but it was such a fun day!! We each did 4 workouts that day & boy was it exhausting!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I finished 18th out of 30! I was pretty happy with that, as I landed out of the bottom 10, but really I had no expectations & just didn't want to come in last! Haha! I did take 7th place in one of the workouts & I PR'd my hang clean at 120 lbs (the top pic)! That is my body weight so I was excited :)</div>

Brandon finished in 6th place overall out of 40 men!!! Isn't that awesome!?! The top 5 went to the final WOD so he just missed it! I'm so, so proud of him! He took 2nd & 5th place in 2 of the events that day!</div>

1 - That is our tree last year! A beauty, right!? Sadly, our tree looks nothing like that at the moment! It's still present-less! I had high hopes of wrapping ALL of the gifts on Wednesday and I got about 8 wrapped {which are still sitting in <strike>the bonus room</strike> Santa's Workshop because I need to suck up all the dry pine needles first!}. That puts me about 1/3 of the way there!! Guess what I'll be doing tomorrow night!?!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2 - Speaking of dry pine needles, I think our tree is on it's last leg. The bottom half of it is…droopy! Literally, branches are brushing the floor. I'm not sure what's going on, but I think we kilt it. Whoops! I'm not sure it going to make it to Christmas!</div>

5 - I've had a rough time getting into the Christmas spirit this week. Kinda bah humbug-ish. I think having my husband home {for almost 2 whole weeks!!}, a clean house, and a few more presents under the tree should do it! I'm looking forward to lots of sweet family, good food & a Christmas Eve service to remind me why we celebrate this holiday in the 1st place!</div>

I may or may not be around over the next week, so if not, I wish you & yours a very Merry Christmas!!!</div>

I had every intention of linking up for Five on Friday last week, but we flew out Friday night to a snowy Michigan for Brandon's company Christmas party!<br />
<br />
We're so thankful that work trips translate into a little extra Michigan family & friend time. We stayed with B's sister & bro-in-law Friday night & got some sweet snuggles from our little baby man nephew the next morning before heading off to WOD with our friend Pauly B!<br />

My group 1st sang "Rudolph" and then were called back for a sing off & we sang "Frosty". Clearly we had some innate dance moves that won each of us a $100 <a href="http://www.meijer.com/">Meijer</a> gift card!!! {You've probably never heard of Meijer, they're not down here.

Instagram is by far my favorite social media {you can follow me <a href="http://instagram.com/mrsshuck">here</a> ;) } and I check it probably about 73,000 times a day. That's a lot, I know! And I also hit that little like button on every other picture.<br />
<br />
If you click the little quote/heart button at the bottom & scroll over to "following" to see what pics your friends have liked, it probably says something like "mrsshuck liked 53 photos". I can't help it!<br />
<br />
I sincerely liked that picture of your cute baby in a beanie hat, the video of your little toddler's sweet voice, that hilarious quote, the picture of your healthy dinner, your workout selfie, the flowers your husband sent you, your dogs spooning, that buddy the elf ecard 3 of my friends posted, your new lifting PR, the Panther's action shot, your Christmas tree, you standing in front of Central Park, your kid screaming with Santa, Trainer Bob's workout, & your new purse.<br />
<br />
How can I not like all of those!?! My habitual liking may come off as insincere, but I assure you it's not. I really, really like all of those things.<br />
<br />
And more :) It's a problem. But at least I can talk about it, right?!<br />

Berk's so tried of the rain, he just wants to run around outside!! Poor guy :(<br />
<br />
The weather's done a complete 180 from last week! It was in the upper 70's & sunshiny Friday {blissful} and now we're in the 40's & rainy. Yuck!! I'm thankful it's not snow though, that sort of cripples us in these parts! I am excited to maybe see some snow, though, this weekend in Michigan!<br />
<br />
The yuck weather didn't stop our Surprise 80th Birthday party for my grandmother!<br />

<br />Memaw was very surprised by her party & felt very loved! It was great to see some family, even just for a little while! Our house full of guests was short lived…they all left Saturday night to head back home due to the possibility of icy weather. But they'll be back for Christmas celebrations is 2 weeks :) And you better believe I ate some of that cake. Whoops!<br />
<br />
Saturday night, we threw on our tacky Christmas sweaters for a few hours & stopped in at our friends' party!<br />

We relaxed a bit Sunday morning before a good long workout at the gym, followed by naps {ok, only I napped}, Dexter & taco soup. I tried to not eat the Hershey Mint Truffles & Candy Cane Kisses I bought {why do I ever buy those things!?} and then I cried myself to sleep after a dismal 1st half in the Panther's v. Saints game :( </div>

1 - We picked up the final season of Dexter last weekend! We're about 4 episodes in already & I can't wait to watch a few more this weekend!! I'm so sad it's coming to an end :( I'll sure miss my favorite serial killer! I think we want to start Homeland next!</div>

2 - I ordered our Christmas cards this week! They're no where near professional, but hopefully they turned out pretty cute! At least the proof looked pretty good. Here's a sneak peek of an outtake…</div>

I ordered from <a href="http://www.vistaprint.com/">Vistaprint</a> once again. I looked at some other places (Tiny Prints, Minted, etc) and they had gorgeous cards...but I just couldn't bring myself to pay those prices!! Maybe I'm cheap!? Maybe I'll change my mind when we have professional pics or kiddos on there!? I just couldn't bring myself to pay upwards $130 for a greeting card (that sadly might get thrown away!).</div>

3 - This weekend is my grandmother's 80th birthday! We're having a surprise party for her (don't worry, she doesn't read my blog, ha) this Saturday & lots of family is coming in town. I love playing hostess & having my cousins stay with us! Should be a fun weekend!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

4 - My cousin Jon wrote <a href="http://stuffchristianslike.net/2013/12/02/5-best-ways-survive-christmas-shoes/">this hilarious post</a> about surviving the 'Christmas Shoes' song. He's so right, you can't unhear that song, but you want to so, so bad!! I think I'd be ok if I never heard that song again!</div>

Should be such a fun night! I can't wait to catch up with some wonderful girls I haven't seen in a while, meet some new faces & bring home a super cute ornament :)</div>

Meet Tracy, my brand new {slightly used} 2013 Ford Explorer!!! If it's possible to feel love for a car, then I'm in love with Tracy!!<br />
<br />
I'm not really sure how I came up with the name Tracy, but when the name occurred to me, it just felt right. So Tracy it is! And she now sits in our garage next to Rachelle, B's <a href="http://diaryofamrs.blogspot.com/2013/01/happy-2013.html">Ford Raptor</a>!<br />

It's a tight squeeze in there, fo real! They're in love ;)</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
We weren't exactly planning to get a car right now…my corolla was <a href="http://diaryofamrs.blogspot.com/2012/07/small-successes.html">paid off</a> so we figured we'd wait until babies came along before I got a new car. BUT….B's company has imposed a few changes on their company car rules which means we wouldn't be driving his company car up to Michigan for Christmas.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We certainly were not going to pack ourselves into my manual corolla that doesn't have cruise or power doors or windows for a 12 hour potentially snowy drive. We toyed with the idea of spending a small fortune in gas to drive the Raptor to Michigan, but weren't thrilled with that idea.</div>

A week ago Monday, when we found out we couldn't use B's car over the holiday, his exact words to me were…</div>

…followed shortly by an email with a link to a beautiful 2013 Ford Explorer on AutoTrader! So clearly, this is all his fault!! {I've had a long standing crush on Ford Explorers & when they new body type came out, my crush turned to some major lust!}</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I called on the Explorer from the link, set up a test drive for 3pm & the rest is history. I knew I would love the car, there was no question of that! It has every bell & whistle in the book, is super sweet & I feel so stinking blessed & unworthy to be driving this beauty!!</div>

A lady was actually coming to test drive the Explorer at 330 that very same day. She was previously looking at a 2011 Explorer they had that was sold right from under her nose, so she was coming back to see this one! We acted fast & totally won :)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We picked it up last Wednesday afternoon & drove it straight to Atlanta! She drives like a dream & now I'm suddenly looking for errands to run this week ;) We traded in my little corolla, she & I had a <a href="http://diaryofamrs.blogspot.com/2011/12/chronicles-of-corolla.html">good, long, brutal run together</a>, including knocking the driver mirror off when pulling out of the garage this past summer. Whoops! I don't think I ever really loved her, though. I never even gave her a name :(</div>

It's funny how <i>this car</i> makes me feel like an adult. Not being married, not owning our own home or business. Nope, buying my potential "Mom" car. THAT makes me feel like an adult!! Whoa! No car seats for Tracy yet, but maybe one day soon :)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And yes, I'll give you a ride in her!! I know that's what you're all wanting ;)</div>

Happy December friends!!</div>

December! Can you believe it!? I definitely can't, but I do love this month, so I welcome it with open arms! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I loved Rachael's post on <a href="http://kincaidparade.com/2013/12/lets-make-it-count.html">December</a> today! It's easy to get caught up in reflecting this month & then looking forward to the next year…but we've got 31 whole days this month to make count!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I just love the hustle & bustle of this time of year….the shopping, the parties, the family time! I love walking in to our tree & wrapping gifts & ornament exchanges. I hope to make this month count more than ever, though. I don't want to over indulge on food, just to look back & feel bloated. I don't want to over indulge on plans just to look back & feel tired.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So there's 2 main things I'm going to do this month - 1) keep my workout routine. No extra slack days this month! 2) build in some rest time with Brandon & our families. I want to not have tons of plans when our families are here, I just want to be with them & enjoy!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I started a 10 day cleanse yesterday to keep me on track! I don't really care if I don't lose a single pound from it, but when doing something like a cleanse, it helps keep me focused. "Should I eat that? No I'm on my cleanse right now!" Keeps me motivated, working, you know?!</div>

Yes, it's Tuesday & I'm just now getting around to recapping the weekend. Whoops! Yesterday was eventful & requires a post of it's own :)<br />
<br />
However, today is just perfect! The weather outside is definitely frightful, very cold & rainy slushy out, but inside I'm baking, the tree is glowing & Michael Buble Chrismas is playing on Spotify!!<br />
<br />
We had a wonderful anniversary weekend! It's so nice to set aside some time to be together & to celebrate another year!! It started with these bad boys I picked up Friday afternoon…<br />

Saturday morning started early with a special WOD made by one of our members & former marine as a tribute to the Marine Corps for their recent birthday. Hopefully I'll get around to making the video of their workout one of these days…<br />

I just watched & then worked out with the 830 class, but the guys did an awesome job!! After classes, B & I headed off for a little spa day!<br />
<br />
We got a couples massage & mani/pedi's at a little spa near uptown. It was still nice & very relaxing, but definitely not the nicest massage we've ever had. Afterwards we stopped for a red cup & then did a little bit of shopping…<br />

I told B it wouldn't be a date unless we took a car selfie ;) And red cups must be documented! {Please excuse my hair in all these pictures! Ughh, too. long. I finally had an appointment with my favorite hair girl ever on Sunday & she worked her magic, as always!} We had a little while until dinner so we stopped a <a href="http://wobusa.com/">World of Beer</a> for a Tour of Thanksgiving…</div>

We ate at <a href="http://sullivanssteakhouse.com/">Sullivan's</a> & it was excellent!! Great service & an even better steak! On the way home we stopped off & got our Christmas tree! We sure picked a beauty, so full & now our house smells amazing! We did most of the decorating Saturday night & finished up Sunday. This is our finished product…<br />

It feels very cozy & I'm so pleased! I still need a new tree skirt, but it took me 18 months to get curtains in our bedroom, so ya know. Hopefully I'll snag one down in Georgia or at least before Christmas is over :)<br />
<br />
For some reason, we like to punish ourselves & endure ridiculously long workout sessions on Sundays, so I went to Flywheel with a friend & B worked out with Warren, then we met them at the box for more weightlifting! I left B home alone Sunday night & ended the day with a delish dinner & even better conversation at <a href="http://www.thecowfish.com/">CowFish</a> with Ashley & <a href="http://lilacsandavocados.blogspot.com/">Rachel</a>. Love getting together with them! We always just pick up right where we left off! Down to earth people are my kind :)<br />
<br />
It was a great weekend! We were sad we couldn't work out a trip away this year to celebrate our anniversary. But we work for ourselves & we're growing a business, so there's great work to be done & we wouldn't trade it for anything. I'm just grateful to be celebrating another year with B!!

Brandon & I along with my siblings & their families as well as both of my grandmothers will all be down in Georgia at my parents house! It's been a while since we've all been at their house together. It will be loud, there will be 5 dogs, lots of air mattresses, and my heart will be full because we'll all be together eating lots of yummy food :)</div>

4 - Thanks so much for all of the kind words & <a href="http://diaryofamrs.blogspot.com/2013/11/superfit-games-my-1st-crossfit.html">SuperFit</a> love! I was definitely nervous going into my first competition, especially since it was sprung on me last minute & I hadn't been training too hard for it! At the end of the day, it was a great experience & I felt so encouraged just to be in that environment!!</div>

That was 115 lbs right there, almost my body weight! For 2 sets of 5, so I was pretty pumped! As I mentioned in the SuperFit post, I really am not sharing these things to brag, but to encourage anyone out there who might see them! </div>

There's a Facebook page called <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CFStrongWomen">Women of CrossFit = Strong</a> that posts tons of CrossFit stories from different women of all shapes & sizes who are doing something for themselves (for once!) and changing their lives, their bodies, their self image. It's so encouraging! And that's really what I hope to be, encouraging!</div>

B's somewhere in the middle of Pennsylvania tonight, traveling, supporting our little family while we grow & develop our dream job here at home. I'm so excited to celebrate with him this weekend! We have a fun Saturday planned!</div>

I love going back & reliving our anniversaries, but my favorite is rereading each year in pictures! Our 1st year is <a href="http://diaryofamrs.blogspot.com/2011/11/our-1st-year-in-pictures.html">here</a> (2011) and our 2nd year is <a href="http://diaryofamrs.blogspot.com/2012/12/our-2nd-year-in-pictures.html">here</a> (2012). So in keeping with my tradition…</div>

Brandon & Warren and Meagan & I participated in Team SuperFit Charlotte at <a href="http://www.crossfitsteelecreek.com/">CrossFit Steele Creek</a> & it was an absolute blast!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a very long day, starting at about 7am, with 3 total workouts. None of us made it to the 4th & final WOD, but in the end, we were all ok with that :) We all finished strong & are proud of our individual performances!</div>

Who knows…maybe I have more competitions in my future!? Either way, I'm so glad I did it! I was never really an athlete growing up so competing is not something I'm used to, but it was such a cool experience! I don't post these pictures to brag, but to encourage anyone reading! Seriously, you can do anything you put your mind to, even compete in amateur CrossFit competitions!! :)</div>
