I made Cinnamon rolls today. I love baking! I would like to take a baking class. Well, Team in Training sortof slowed because I moved and there aren't any teams in Yuma. Michail and I celebrated his birthday and Valentines all together. His birthday is on Valentines day so its a strange day for me. Do I get him a birthday present or a Valentines gift? We went to dinner it was fun.

Wow today Is Sunday. Im writing a new blog entry (after months of ignoring it) There is so much in my life that has changed and will be changing very soon. I am so afraid of what is going to be happening soon. I want to express how I feel about it but right now I can't. Things never turn out the way you hope in life, and you can feel like your life is perfect and wonderful and then something happens to change all of it, but one thing I know through all of this is that the lord is there. He will help me through it and I just have to be strong.

Team in Training

I just came home from an amazing visit to see my brand new niece. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BABY!!! She definitly has her aunties eyes!!! She is so precious. I am so happy for my brother and his wife. Wow shes is special. Love that girl!
It makes me so sad to know that I live so far away from my family and to know that it has been a choice that I made. I have been so lonely up here, and with Michails job not working out for him to come up here its even more of a trail for me. I am beginining to grow impatient and I really do not have my heart in California. I am seriously considering finding a job mid year at a school in Missouri. Visiting with my family made me realize how much I miss them. Don't get me wrong I love absoultly love the bay area. I love my job its my dream job. So how do I figure it out? On a much brighter note...
I am going to do it!!! I am doing the Team in Training! I dont know that I will be able to actually do 100 miles. But Im going to do my best and go as far as I can go. I am enjoying my bike, and I actually look forward to riding in the mornings. Im getting faster and I can feel myself becoming stronger... Granted dont get me wrong I am very overweight and I have a very long way to go, but its a start. I am going to work my hardest and well... The cycle thing is team in training. They train you to ride a 100 miles (deep deep breathe) While I am doing it ... I am to raise 2500 for Luekemia. My training starts in three weeks. However Im riding about 3 miles a day right now. By November 9 I will need to ride 10-15 and then move from there. By Dec 12 It will be 20 miles and Jan 40 - 50... Read More Feb. 50 - 80 and then in March the ride.
They have work out schedules and trainers and coaches to help along the way. I figure Its something to work for and the worst that can happen is that I am riding more than Ive ridden before and THere will be another ride to do that I can do much better. My goal will be just to do become healthy while helping raise money for a good cause.

My favorite picture of Michail and I taken in Santa Cruz on the boardwalk.

I love it here in San Jose It is down right beautiful. (I guess I have been in the desert too long) I actually live in Fremont and commute to work. but the commute isn't bad. The school is awesome!! Its fascinating to watch the children learn 2 languages. Most of them came speaking Spanish already however some are bilingual simply because of their circumstances. And others are English only speakers. The school is designed to help all of them learn to read and write in their first language first and by the end of 1st grade all of them will be learning (and have transitioned into) their second language. The concept is quite fascinating. This way they learn both languages Well and can use both English and Spanish Well. Its amazing to watch I have 40 1st graders who are or are beginning to read, write and speak in Spanish and English. I love it.
A There are times that I wish that I lived closer to my family, its hard to be so far away. ... but look where I am .. in Cali. and Zac is in Oklahoma and my parents, the twins and Holly and Kelli are in Missouri. We'll see, as much as I love California It is SO expensive (well rent anyway) Everything else is manageable. Right though I believe this is where I need to be.
