No Pain, No Gain...

This semester I decided to take a Yoga class. I figured I could use the relaxation I heard it brings and I have never done it before and wanted to try it. Wednesday was the first 'real' day we yoga-ed....

Downward facing dog, Cobra, Bridge, Warrior, Half sun salutation.... They were tricky!

I learned that my feet sweat, alot, and it was hard to hold my ground when my feet keep slipping on my mat (any hints would be helpful). I felt good after class, limber and energized! The next day, hhhmmm not so much. I was in PAIN! Parts of my hurt that I didnt know even existed! Did you know there is a line on each side of your stomach where there's supposed muscles? I didnt! Everything around my arms, belly and chest hurt like a beast! But, it was GOOD PAIN! I'm excited for yoga, I think it'll help me strengthen some of the muscles I lost after my surgery and develop some of the muscles I didnt know existed!
Plus, it makes me feel great afterward and helps me relax.

Besides, I'm pretty sure I'll get more 'bend-y' and who DOESNT want that? lol

The Letter F

I'm bringin it back folks!

FAMILY
I love my little family so much! I dont have many cousins, aunts or uncles, nieces, nephews or siblings, but I am greatful for what I have and that Heavenly Father everyday for my wonderful family!

FAILURE
I am scared to death that I am gonna mess up this opportunity I have to go back to school and become a nurse... nough said

FEMALE
I have a love/hate relationship with the fact that I am female.
Things I love: we have WAY cuter clothes, shoes and jewelry than guys do.
I do have a problem with the amount of emotions I have no control over. There have been many instances where I KNOW I am being a girl; analyzing, mulling over, the back & forth... PLEASE!

FEBRUARY
My second favorite month...the month of love! February has tons of good in it: Uncle Pats birthday, MY birthday, George Washingtons birthday ;) (all the cool people).

FERTILITY
My life has been a roller coaster on this topic. Will I; Wont I, Can I; Cant I, Should I; Shouldnt I. I'm tired and trying to accept the fact that it just may not be meant...

FEATHER
As in my feather pillow... its my favorite pillow and if I am stying over somewhere or traveling, that pillows commin with me!

This is just a few of my F's off the top of my head...
the rest of the alphabet will be appearing on a regular basis now lol

How could something so simple, be so wonderful?

I made cinnamon rolls a couple weeks ago, not a big deal but this was the first time I made something with yeast! I was nervous at first, made sure I had my thermometer so the milk was the right temperature for the yeast and Presto!
They were good but not so pretty:

See, the problem was that I could only get the dough so thin and smooth with my hands, I didn't have a rolling pin so it was tricky.
I was at mom & dads house and noticed Grandma B's rolling pin on top of the fridge covered in dust. *Lightbulb moment* I asked mom if I could have it, she said yes and I was off to bake again! Well, I made the rolls last weekend for Patrick & the kids. This time they turned out SO much better!

I'm in love with a rolling pin....
