The Conclusion of the Year of Movement

The Year of Movement has come to an end with the conclusion of 2010. I am totally amazed by what Movement has brought into my life! Below are some highlights:

I bought these shoes in January 2010 and didn't replace them all year, which is unusual for me. These sneaks have been everywhere this past year!


I began training to do the Bay to Breaker's race in San Francisco with Tiff and that led to completing two 5ks, one 10k, one 12k and a half-marathon this year! Pretty good for the girl who doesn't run.


Half Marathon in Boston with Maddie & Carey
Ran the Turkey Trot with Randy on Thanksgiving Day!
  

My year of movement has taken me to a lot of places! 
  • Utah - to take Connor to the MTC
  • San Francisco - Bay to Breakers Race
  • California Central Coast - twice a month for my job
  • Boston - for the half-marathon
  • North Carolina - to visit my sister and her family
  • New York City  - to visit Maddie & Dan
  • New Jersey - for my new job
  • Florida - for my new job
  • Texas - for the cruise and to shop!
  • Progresso, Mexico - tour Mayan ruins
  • Cozumel, Mexico - snorkeling

Progesso, Mexico - Mayan ruins
Cozumel, Mexico - Snorkeling


All the movement led to a 21 pound weight loss!

Christmas Cruise

We got back late Saturday night from our Christmas cruise to Progesso and Cozumel, Mexico. Randy & I went with Maddie, Dan and Jan, Dan's mom. This is was my first cruise and it won't be my last. I had a blast and was sooo very excited to have some sunshine as two weeks before we had nothing but rain and gray skies at home.
Below are some pics from our good times aboard the fun ship!


We were bumped up to first class on the flight from LA to Houston. Oh, so very nice!


The hotel we stayed at had the typical waffle maker, but this one was in the shape of the state of Texas!

Our first day on the ship.

In the ship's library, pointing out where we were headed to. Trying anyway.

We had a cute towel creature each night.

Gorgeous Phantom Rolls Royce.


Formal night. I got a sequined dress from Macy's for $23!!!!




Red lips will do it to you each time!


In Progresso, Mexico

At a natural watering hole Dan went swimming in.




Holding my girl in the palm of my hand lol.

We went snorkeling in Cozumel.





We are a family of readers!





Beach time in Cozumel!

Stopped in Charming Charlies in the Galleria. A paradise of bling!

Our last dinner was Texas BBQ!


A demented armadillo at the place next door.
I got sooo many bruises on my legs from the small cabin space!
We had the best time and I can't wait for our next cruise!
