Welcome to the family, Amy!

My brother's wedding was beautiful and the most fun I've had with family.  It was great to meet my brother's (and Amy's) friends - it allowed me to get to know them in new ways.  Also, it was fun to see both sides of my parent's family and some old family friends in the same place.  I had a lovely time!

Day 270

Wednesday, April 30

Lately I've committed to working out at least 1 hr 5-6x/wk, and I have been really happy with how I've expanded my workouts.  It's easier to motivate myself to workout here - everybody is super fit and I know it will help on my adventures like rock climbing and hiking 14ers. 

Today I had a great workout that ended right was yoga was starting, so I did an hour of yoga too!  I needed the stretching, but also needed the meditative spirit of yoga.  "Love yourself - everything that you can't do, and everything that you can; everything that you aren't, and everything that you are."
