"The secret of happiness is to count your blessings while others are adding up their troubles."

Monday! Monday! Monday! Such a cold morning but I pumped out 6 miles to get started! I wore one of my new Lululemom running jackets! It was so cute and kept me warm! It was very slushy and slippery, but I was so glad I did it! 


After my full time job was done, I headed to Kittery for a quick 3 hour shift at Lululemon! We had such a fun night! 

I got home and Cyn made tacos for dinner! My favorite! We watched Home Alone and headed to bed! 

Tuesday morning was in the negative degrees! Yikes! I decided to change plans and make it a hot yoga morning! I went to a 90 minute vinyasa flow with the wonderful Heidi! Such an amazing release and acceptance! 

It was the first time I was able to rock a full Lululemon outfit! I love this maroon/ plum color! 


After work I had 3 trainings! The snow started coming down around 4 but that didn't stop us! We went to Stockhouse for wing night with Pam, Pete (x2), Murph & the boys! Yum! 

We got home turned on the Christmas pandora station "Let it snow" - lit the tree - poured the hot chocolate & watched the snow come down with Cyn & Bela! What a perfect Tuesday evening! 


Wednesday morning we were hoping to wake up to a snow day, but the roads were quite clear. Still slushy and smaller than usual so I headed to Zone 3 Fitness to jump on the treadmill for 9 miles. Yuck, boy do I hate running distance on a treadmill but on a day like today it was my only choice. I also took part in the strength circuit training class! I was sweaty and exhausted after all that! I did use the motivation on the wall to be me charged up and moving! 


I had a great meeting to end my day and headed home to Bela to relax for the evening! I got a bunch of paperwork done and ended up falling asleep on the couch by 7 PM! Yikes! When Cyn got home she woke me up quickly and I put together some BLTs for dinner! 

Happy Thursday! What a great day to spend recovering! Had a crazy day running around, but all in all successful! I had 3 wonderful trainings after work and got some great finds Christmas Shopping with my sister! 'Tis the Season! Cutest wrapping paper ever, right?!


We spent our evening cleaning and wrapping & getting ready for our busy weekend ahead!  

Friday morning started out great with a quick 3 mile run and Christmas music! We had our work Holiday Party in Portsmouth! A good time was had by ALL! 


After I had a quick shift at Lululemon! We had a great night educating and having a dance party! 

Saturday morning I was up and on the road again to work 9-3 in Kittery! We wore our Holiday Sweaters! What a fun group of people I work with! 


After I headed home we went Caroling at the Rairdon's! What a great turn out to show the true meaning of Christmas! (Photos by the Dorn Family and Murph)




From there we had our friends over to celebrate together! We always have so much fun when we get together! 


Erin took a few family photos for us! I love these two!



Sunday morning we finally got to sleep in!  We went to my grandmother to celebrate Christmas and enjoy some great food together! 


We had so much yummy food we were all snuggled up on the couch! 


We got to listen to Grammie play the organ and had my favorite Italian cookies! 


Sunday evening we went to Pete & Murph's for dinner and to build Gingerbread Houses! 


We had a great time with the Rairdon's and were able to remember the true meaning of Christmas! 

What a crazy week it has been, but truly full of love and family! 

Remember: "The secret of happiness is to count your blessings while others are adding up their troubles."
