Spring is almost here..... I think

On the drive to work this morning I was thinking about all the good things I could post and thinking that spring is almost here. Then I hear the forecast for tomorrow and they are saying we should get more snow.

Anyway well I have good news, Brad has officially started his new job this morning!! Yeah!

He works for a company called Old Republic Title in downtown Mpls. He and I will be carpooling to and from work now as his schedule allows it. He will probably have to take on the big bad public transportation at some point. We are just thrilled he has a job, he had 6 weeks of unemployment and sitting at home. Well he wasn't just sitting at home, but you know what I mean.

This weekend he went to the Arnold Sports Festival in Ohio, this was his 2nd year being asked to participate and due to our situation he felt very lucky he could go. It's one of those weekends that are the "guy's guy" weekends. There were several of his friends that were asked to go as well, which helped. They all competed on Friday, Brad ended up with first in the super heavy weight division and I think 2nd overall in the entire meet.

I know he was sad I couldn't be there, but I kind of was. Long story short, last year at the same competition one of the lifters had a bad knee injury. Brad had set up a fundraiser and had a goal amount he wanted to raise. He said if he could raise that much he would wear a pink singlet the next year. Well he either forgot about it or didnt' want to do it, so I had talked with the owner of Zubaz Dan and also he owns the gym we work out at. He special ordered me a pair of pink zubaz!! My friend Fawn also a competitor at the Arnold and my kettlebell instructor she delivered the package for me so it would be a surprise. Also my friend Jennifer is the one that gave me the idea for the pants, so there were a few of us involved.

I will post a pic of the zubaz as soon as I see one!

While Brad was gone, I had a good weekend of some downtime, some drama not too bad.
Friday night I was asked to watch my nieces for a couple of hours, they are so fun to watch and play with. Lea is 2 1/2 and Kamryn is a little over 1 they have a lot of energy. It was definitely a good time! Saturday morning I went to Chuck E Cheese with the girls and my sister in law and it was a good time had by all.
I was able to get some cleaning done, not as much as I would have liked but it was a good fair amount. It's amazing how much junk people can accrue.


That's all the news I have so far. I hope this snowstorm isn't as bad as they are talking.

Have a good week.
