It's About Time!

   I have had every intention of updating to tell about my marvelous Christmas break, etc.  but now it almost through January.  Wow!  Time really does fly by pretty quickly!  So.. I will give a quick update of my Christmas break!

  First, Lance and I made our way to my lovely hometown of Cleveland, TN.  We stayed there until Christmas Day.  Christmas Day, we came back to Birmingham and visited with Lance's folks.  The next day, we left with his parents to go to Orange Beach.  We stayed there for 4 nights and had a terrific time.  After we came back from there, the next day, we went to Gatlinburg with the youth for the Extreme Conference.  It really was a blast!  

   So there was my quick update for Christmas... :)

Now on to more exciting things.... parties.   I would like to hear your feedback for things that you enjoy from parties.. fingerfoods, etc.  I have been to many, many parties lately and seen a huge assortment of things found at the parties.  What are your favorite things to eat?  Me?  I prefer fingersandwiches.  I like pretty much any kind of fingersandwich.   I also like meatballs!  (Can you see the line of salty foods in my likes?)  

  What is your least favorite item to see at a party?  Personally, I love pickles EXCEPT for sweet pickles.  I hate how sometimes they can trick you into eating them.. then POW!  It's a sweet pickle!  Yick!  

    I read on weightwatchers.com that when you go to a party, you should always bring something healthy, that way you can at least nibble on that if everything else is bad for you.  My problem is that I eat what I brought and ALSO everything else.  Oops!  I need to work on that.  

   In other news, Lance and I are training for a 5K.  We plan on doing it in March before Spring Break.  We are doing the program called "From Couch to 5K".  As of right now, it has been going really well, except for my pesky sinus infection!  I had told myself that I was going to run at least 3 days a week, unless I was so deathly ill that I couldn't get out of bed.  We are starting week 3 of the 9 week program today.  (By the way, I keep trying to type 'problem' instead of 'program'.  Maybe it's a sign!)  I have NEVER been a runner, so this is definitely a challenge for me.  I probably haven't run over a mile since my freshman year in college.  Working up to a little over 3 miles is something that I am really looking forward to!  It is also great to have Lance be accountable for my running, since we are doing it together.  Wish us luck!  :)

Much abundance of love,

Katie
