Girl - I have been that sore before. OMG!! It was soooo embarrassing!. Walking around all gimpy. Grunting in pain when sitting down or getting up from my desk. It was a struggle getting in and out of my car. I have experienced sore, but those few days were unbearable. Someone asked me if I was okay. Not a pretty sight!!! I have learned to NEVER do that again. :) Sore is good. Walking around like you are an idiot is not. :)

I was just wondering about Rachael too. Check in Girl! :)

Yes, if you can take the kids somewhere for couple of hours, she would love the time to herself. Let her sleep in. Line up a sitter for a date night - out, so she doesn't have to do dishes. Gift certificate for a massage and you watch the kids while she goes. :) Tell her. make her a cup of tea or coffee or glass of wine, whatever she likes - and really just look her in the eye and tell her you appreciate and love her. Priceless.

I am so happy it is spring!!! That means my favorite season summer is just around the corner!!

I was a pretty decent swimmer in high school. After that, I was active, playing frisbee, tennis & goofing off, but not an "athlete." I believe I became an athlete in 2007 at the ripe age of 39. I joined a gym and quit smoking and did some short distance triathlons, swim and bike races. I got a T-shirt that said "ATHLETE" on the back one year and one that said "TRIATHLETE" the following year. Very special to me!!! Then I relapsed in 2011, stopped exercising, cried. lol Now I am 10 months re-quit and trying taking up running (thanks to The Sarge) so I can call myself ATHLETE again. :)

Have you set a wedding date? Have you picked a venue? Are you going to have a big wedding or small?

Yay me!!! It's .75 miles straight up. Full jog today was 2.5 miles in 40 minutes. I only stopped a few times to walk. :)

I saw Van Morrison live at Red Rocks Amphitheater in 2005. He doesn't tour much. It is a beautiful venue, but I think Van would be better to see in a smaller - like jazz club, environment. Here is a pic of Red Rocks, it is west of Denver, Colorado:
