"Time for a Change"

I finally feel physically fit for the first time in 5 years. I know alot of you right now are rolling your eyes because your picturing the 5ft.1in. (yes, the 1 is important, I'd like a few more actually) petite Bristy. But there is a difference in looking good and feeling good and feeling like you look good. I like the latter. I guess after having 4 kids in 9 years, at least 4 miscarriages, Endometriosis, 2 major surgeries in the past year and a half-1 being a cut-open full hysterectomy and indoor plumbing repair, I finally feel great!!
We've always been an active family; hiking, biking, walking, karate, coaching everything our kids want to be involved with, but lately I'm hooked on kickboxing. LOVE IT! (Thank you Karron) I've done TAE BO (yes, VHS) for about 12 years, but I admit I've been lazy, just a 5-mile walk or a 10-minute Tae Bo routine or riding the stationary bike here and there while reading, but nothing that I could feel or see making a difference. I am going to miss the kickboxing after this week, when we go back to preschool, so I guess I'll have to break out the 57-minute Tae Bo tape! (Hey, it still works and harder to skip forward, right?!) But after having our open house for preschool this afternoon I love those kids and can't wait to get back, and into a routine.
So I don't know if I'm having a mid-life crisis, turning 35 this year, or it's the hormones talking but I'm also thinking of starting another business (besides Mary Kay consultant). I guess it's just time for another change. So stay tuned more is in the works.....

SUMMER, SUMMER, SUMMERTIME!!

Notice the 1 soccer sock, he couln't find the other, and the new cleats, he will not take off.

The new 6-seater chair, supposedly for the soccer team when they sit out, but Brad says it's coming out of our fund and he's keeping it. Can you just see all of us lined up down the campfire, not around it, saying pass the marshmellows?
