Challenges and Changes

So, it is the beginning of March…we have been married for 253 days! Yay! But that is not the purpose of this blog post.. since we are married, I am changing the name of the blog, and moving on….to a new focus…our life as a married couple and busy family of 4!!! Which is why I have not posted in so long…we are busy! So, back on New Year’s Day, I decided my resolution was to challenge myself this year…whether it be physical, mental, or just overcoming small obstacles that impede my daily happiness, I would try and challenge myself daily, and hopefully, along the way, find happiness in things big and small, and feel empowered and successful…easy, right?




Speaking of challenges…I have started running. I know, I know…who is this typing from Jessica’s computer?? Jessica running? Was anyone CHASING her? No folks, I have started running…I challenged myself to complete the Couch to 5K program and run in a 5K. So, the first week in January started my official couch to 5K transformation…and I started running. I successfully completed my first 5K on February 18th! Jason even ran with me & my friend, Val. Well, Valerie and I are still in training mode…for the San Diego Rock ‘n Roll Half Marathon this June!! I start the formal training next week, and have just been making easy runs since the 18th. Who knew this could be me? All from the challenge of running a 5K.



So, we recently got our bonuses from work, and I decided to invest my bonus in a DSLR camera. As such, I am trying to frantically learn how to use it before baseball starts. My hope is to not be shooting in Auto/green mode by opening ceremonies in mid-late April…so I am going to do a 30 day photo challenge (I got inspired thanks to Pinterest & this blog for the actual challenge)..and with that will be posting to the blog each days photos. Here goes nothing!



Day 1 is self portraits…so we will see what this evening brings!! I will post after I get my self portait done!
