update

So I have decided that after 4 weeks of silence it is time to post again. Summer is coming to a close and it has been way to short.
My parents came out for 10 days in visit, we did a lot of sight seeing, hanging out a home and playing with the kids. My mom even got to see me teach a class or two so that was awesome. We also had Micah's third birthday party ( my babies are growing up, more about that later).

The cupcakes I made from scratch ( so proud!)

We have also spent a lot of time at the lake which has been way more fun this year than any other, I think that is because the kids are older and able to do more for them selves.
We have also had company over the summer keeping us hoping!

I was able to fly out to Winnipeg recently and spend two days with my family as well as Josh and Holly's new baby. While in Manitoba I caught Strep throat which put me out of commission for about 6 days, not ideal when you are a fitness instructor! My first class back I didn't think I would actually make it through.

That is all for now, my mind is consumed with the fact that Emmanuel is headed to kindergarten on Tuesday!
Hopefully will post more in depth later, not holding my breath though.

I thought I would give an update on how things went on Saturday. I took until about now to be able to actually form into words what I felt and saw that morning at the walk for the cure.
We arrived at the Round up Center in Calgary at about 6:25 a.m thinking we would have time to run though a few things before we started. It took forever to find the right person to talk to and when we did find her she was so busy she pointed in the direction of the "stage" and ran off again.
We found someone else and asked where to set up our music and that is when they informed us that we couldn't use our own music they had some pre-selected, huge blow!
After everything was figured out and it was time to go on, we were terrified. The stage was very small and very high up, we didn't hear the music until we were standing on the stage so we had no idea how fast it was or how many beats per minute it was ( that is huge for a fitness Instructor), and we had no idea what we were going to do because the routine was to our music so we wung it.

It turned out amazing, we had one girl figuring out what to do and the rest followed. Everything that possible felt like it was going wrong was all washed away when you looked out into a sea of a thousand smiling faces and remembered that reason we were there.
At one point we were doing a side step movement and all I could see was a mass of pink moving from side to side, It took all my will power to hold it together at that moment. Between all the people in pink, the music, seeing runners carrying the running shoes of runners from past years who have past away, and the genuine energy it was so over whelming but perfect.

My parents are out for the week so I will post more next week.

A good cause

I have been given probably what I consider the greatest opportunity, Calgary has the walk for the cure this weekend. It is a 60 km walk for Breast Cancer, the participants walk 35 km on Saturday and do the remaining 25 on Sunday. Goodlife Fitness has been asked to be in Charge of warming up the participants on Saturday morning. Myself along with 3 of the other instructors will be heading to the Round up center for 6:30 a.m to lead a mass of people in a warm up.

When I found out I was going to be involved I was speechless, I feel so blessed and honored to be involved in such an event.
God has been doing so much wonderful things in my life, I have spent the last day just thanking him because I feel like I have no words to express how I truly feel.

I feel like I have the opportunity to use my passion for encourage and help others, I never want to look past that or lose it.

Hope everyone enjoys there weekend.

I will be back

I will come out and say it, I am boring and have nothing of importance to say.
Do I bore everyone out of there minds talking about my job at the gym, what classes I am teaching and what percent body fat I am at? I already have very few readers left I think that would scare away the rest.
I hope everyone is enjoying there summer, and I promise that I will be returning so please don't stop checking just give me a week or so.

Still to busy to post very much, wondering if I should shut down the blog, I just can't see to keep up.
Last night I opened my big mouth and said some things that I shouldn't have, it wasn't mean or hurtful things just something that didn't need to be said. I have lost many hours of sleep last night over this incident.
Anyone else out there feel like they have put there foot in there mouth at the wrong place and wrong time?

Today I am feeling like a huge A**

Hope everyone has a great day

Just found out a couple hours ago that I passed my exam, ready to move on to the second phase of this journey.

The classes are done, the exam has been written and the first fitness Instructors class has been taught. I will come back to this blog soon, for right now I am working on material for my classes, waiting for my exam marks and trying to pick up the pieces of our life. The last couple weeks have been crazy but so worth it.
Thank you so much to Evan's mom for coming to stay with us last week, you were a life savor. I really couldn't have done it without you.

If anyone still reads this blog I have a question, I am in the gym 5 days a week and will be getting some more of my own classes in the next week or so. I need a really good deodorant, no white residue, smells decent and not an antiperspirant. Anyone with ideas please let me know.
