Lack of something extraordinary...

I'm feeling like I haven't posted in a while.. however every time I come to the blog I try to think of what to write and can't think of anything that you would be overly interested to hear. So here's to just a random update. It's less than two weeks til our "vacation" saga begins and I'm getting nervous. Sydney survived her first really really sick sickness... and mom survived cleaning up baby throwup. (She got roseola... is that how you spell it?) I feel like I'm hitting more of a stride while training and really starting to enjoy swimming laps... more than the other two I think. It's finally warm and Sydney has discovered that she'd rather be outside... which is nice sometimes, unless I want to get anything done!  And.... other than that, I don't know what to say except for I'm feel really really blessed lately. It seems like it has been a hard few weeks and there are so many people around that have been there to help me :). This past year I have made so many friends and even though La Grande is a just a transitional place for us... it has been the best place to be for my first year as a mom. My ward is so friendly ... thanks to all of you who are reading this. I love being able to just show up at someone's house when it's been a long day and have someone to talk to. The La Grande MOPS is an amazing group of women that I hope to keep in contact with for a long time when we leave this town. It's bitter sweet because I'm excited to move on and be more established however, I can't help but feeling like I'll never find another MOPS group that will be as friendly and welcoming and well organized as the one here :/. Finally, my triathlon team! I am still getting to know most the women... but for not knowing anyone it is so nice to have someone from the team recognize me, pull over on the side of the road haha, and just chat for a while. This has happened several times believe it or not. The support and encouragement they offer is really the only reason I'm doing it because I'm not much into racing for the heck of it. Go Team S.W.E.E.T.!!! and thanks for becoming instant friends and inspiration for me to train and do something hard :)
