Easter Greetings!

Wow...its April already! Let me start this post w/ birthdays:

April 1st - Uncle Mike
April 2nd - Kevin
April 11th - Colleen
April 14th - MOM
April 19th - Lisa
April 21st - Me :)

I think there may be one or two I'm missing (like Marlene?) Please let me know who I left out!! Happy Birthday to everyone!!!!

Also, Happy Easter! Sadly, Dan & I are working this weekend so we are not able to spend time w/ family :( We hope everyone has a safe and wonderful holiday!

So this morning Dan & I participated in the American Cancer Society's 5k/10k run/walk at Warner Park here in Madison. Neither of us have ever done anything like this and we had a blast! We only did the 5k walk, which is slightly over 3 miles. There were a couple of steep inclines so we got a pretty good workout. I saw a flyer for the 12th Annual Susan G. Komen Madison Race for the Cure on May 30th, so I think I might sign us up for that one too! It felt good being outside for the walk today, even though it was only 35 degrees.

All the walking has definitely had a good effect on me. I'm about a pound away from 20 lbs lost since I really started dieting/exercising in February. We haven't made it to the gym for the last couple of weeks, but watching what I eat and getting in about 2-3 miles a day of walking have been beneficial. I haven't noticed too much of a difference myself, although I think my favorite pair of jeans (which I wear to Menards) are slightly loose. I've also been lifting weights a couple days a week and I have noticed a slight difference in my arms from that :)

Speaking of Menards......I'll be a full-time Head Cashier as of April 19th. Our office manager is trying to find a job where she can use her college degree, and she keeps asking if I want her job....of course I do!! So I'm hoping it'll only be a matter of time before I'm posting that I'm a Front Office Manager! My last day at Z was Friday. It was sad leaving everyone that I've worked with for almost 2 years, but it was definitely time to go. I'm still planning on having lunch w/ some of my Z co-workers and visiting before we move in October.

Well, its been long day and I'm ready for bed so I'll end this post.

Have a Very "Hoppy" Easter!
