Jelly Legs

I. Can't. Move.

Since the weather has been so glorious over the past few days - 70 degrees in february, I'll take it!- I have decided to get outside and get active. And by get active I mean jog two miles. Did I mention I haven't really jogged or exercised since probably October? Unless running to the kitchen for another piece of cake counts...

I have however slept quite soundly the past few nights.

We belong in the Zoo!

What a wonderful weekend! Mr. Fix-It was home this weekend! Friday night we had dinner with his parents and then went shopping and out for drinks. Saturday morning Mr. Fix-It endeared himself to me...we went to the zoo! I have lived my whole life no more than 2 hrs from the ATL and had never been to Zoo Atlanta. The weather was BEAUTIFUL and it was a great day to be outside. The only bummer...my battery in my camera was dead so no pics :( But we got to see the new baby pandas and fun critters like meerkats, flamingos, and oranguntans, which might have just been my favorite. They came up to the window and were watching the visitors watching them :) The lion was very vocal that day and ran a close second as my fave!

After we left the zoo we went to the cyclorama, which depicts the Battle of Atlanta. Mr. Fix-It had never been which I found hard to believe because he is a HUGE civil war buff.

That afternoon we met my BFF and took her sweet pup Izzy to the park for awhile and then went to dinner. Such a fun day!

Sunday we went to church and just chilled with his family. I had gone to church with my parents for the past 2 weekends so it was good to get back to our church and worship together. All in all a great, although too short, weekend!

I have been a very bad blogger! School this semester is kicking my tail! So glad I decided to do grad school full time and not try to teach at the same time...I might have gone crazy! I haven't had much blog worthy in my life anyway, just spending lots o' time with the fam when I'm not in school.

I am uber excited because Mr. Fix-It gets to come home tonight! The past 2 weeks haven't been as bad as I thought they might be thanks to the busy school schedule. I think we might be going to see the Bodies exhibit in the ATL this weekend - I have been begging him to go to this! I am a science nerd!

Kelly at It's Not Easy Being Me tagged folks to post pics...thought I'd indulge. Kelly is wonderful! Her hubby was my high school ag teacher / mentor - love them!

This is me and a piggy during my student teaching days. I was involved in FFA throughout high school and got my degree in agricultural education. I'm giving Petunia a haircut to get her ready to go into the showring...I miss these days!
