Race for the Cure


I know...I'm just as surprised as all of you are that I am actually blogging. I'm sorry I've been so out of the net lately, but I assure you, it's only because I've only been so busy with work lately that I haven't had the time. Not only am I with a brand new Army unit, we're a new unit ramping up for a deployment by the end of the year, so times are extremely busy. Okay, enough about that. Today was an absolute gorgeous day in El Paso, which was perfect for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure 5K that I participated in today. I went with a few friends from work and had an awesome time. I ran on my own because those guys are running all-stars, but I did very well. I honestly don't know what my time was because I was weaving in and out of the clusters of walkers that I didn't have a chance to look. However, I do know that I felt great at the end and hardly out of breath. I actually wouldn't have minded running it a second time. So not only did I get a decent workout today, I was able to support such a noble cause. I saw many survivors (like the woman in the picture) out there struttin' their stuff and was just awe-inspired by their courage and strength. Some of these older ladies just blew past me during the run--pathetic for me, I know. I only wish that I could have had my own camera onhand so I could show you guys just how beautiful the day was and just how many people were there. Amazing! Oh yeah, and after the race, we were all rewarded with tons of goodies from the event's sponsors. Cool! Anyway, I'm glad I was able to blog today. Next goal--to actually be able to update my baking blog for the week!

Welcome! I'm a thirty-something mom, Army Officer & Army Wife currently stationed in Germany with my Soldier and beautiful baby girl. I love baking, traveling, shopping, being with my family, and all things red and CHOCOLATE. The Army life is a crazy one and brings forth new challenges and experiences every day, but we are sustained by our faith as well as the love and support of our family and friends. Hope you enjoy following along on our adventures!
