Hi! I am 36 living in Houston and currently oversee the Special Education department at a high school. I grew up in Houston and love it here. I enjoy watching sports, going to the movies and a good glass of wine. I also have run 6 marathons and 13 half marathons. I do this to keep in shape and healthy. Excercise is something I do to keep myself in check. I am looking for someone to enjoy life with and be best friends with. Below is a pic of me and my dog and me and my niece.

Today was spent soaking up my last weekday of vacation before going back to work. The day included a pedicure and a little reading. I bought the book "The Happiness Project" at the airport on my way to Las Vegas. It has been a good read and has me looking at how to bring more happiness into my life.

This about sums up my day. It is Thursday before I go back to work from the Christmas Holidays. McGuire and I lounged around all day. I think he has really enjoyed me being home with him.

Ryan, Dana and Piper came down for lunch. We had a delicious meal at Escalantes and then walked around the shopping center. Piper enjoyed carrying my wallet around and shopping at Carter's. We picked up a few new outfits for my nephew, Braddock, who is scheduled to arrive in April. Piper is at such a fun age. Before they left we stopped and had a cupcake. Yum!

I am going to try and do a year in pictures again. It is a great time to do it since it is the beginning of the new year. I hope I can keep up with it. I am hoping to create a book at the end of the year. First pic is of my decision to do Bikram Yoga. My friend Kelly took me to a class over Thanksgiving. My first experience was so so. It is really hard and HOT! I got a groupon so decided to do try it again. I have done it twice this week. I have adjusted to the heat but still need some work on the poses.

Notre Dame Marathon

I know it has been a month. But to get straight to the point, my life is boring. It is hard to take a picture everyday of something that might be interesting. The trip to Notre Dame went well. We traveled all day Friday and got a little lost on our drive from Chicago to South Bend. It is amazing how many people can not give you directions in their own town when you ask them. Saturday was the marathon. There was only 700 marathon runners so it was very small. It was very humid and lots of bugs. I think I swallowed about 10 and they kept sticking to my sweat. Yuck! I saw this man with a Houston shirt on so I talked to him for about 3 miles. I thought for sure I was going to beat by best time but at about mile 23 my quads began to tighten up and I was struggling. I finsihed in 5 hours and 1 minute. As soon as I was done it started to rain, so I was very lucky. After the marathon we grabbed a bite to eat, went to the bookstore, and went to a local minor league baseball game. We headed back on Sunday. Every time I stand there at the start line and say to myself what did I get myself into but once I am done I can't wait to do it again. I want to thank my Dad for going with me and for supporting me. I love you Dad! P.S. That is what I ate after I was finished. Excluding an Awesome Blossom,some rolls and an amazing chocolate dipped ice cream cone from Dairy Queen. BLISS! :)

Mother's Day (13)

Sunday was the day to celebrate my mom. I joined her for church and then we went to lunch with the rest of the family. I am so blessed that she is my mother. I am so grateful for all the things she has done for me. It is so Awesome to have such a wonderful friend. At times we may disagree but we eventually laugh it off and think how stupid we were to agure. I love you MOM!
