It has been a REALLY long time since I posted a blog, so I thought I would catch up on where we are and where we are headed in the crazy journey we call life.
Mark made a big leap of faith with his career change in January - full time musician - no boss, no 9-5, no money...Just kidding. Actually we are doing really well financially. Mark has a lot of student lessons with Mariemont High School and Badin High School in addition to helping out with their drumline and Marching Band. The Queen City Silver Stars are shooting towards great success with their recent debut into the Cincinnati music scene - "Making Soca Trendy"!! Mark also had a stint as a country western drummer in a musical up in Dayton - "Play it by Heart".
In addition to Mark doing a great job bringing in money while doing what he loves, we have also learned how to live on less and I think we are the happiest either of us have ever been.
Winter has ended - thank goodness...we had a tough one...
Mark and I went to Disneyworld, Epcot and Hollywood Studios in March 2014 - his dream come true!!
House projects are going well - the paint job on the outside of the house turned out beautifully and did not break the bank. And then Mark did a fantastic job on the renovation of the kitchen - new tile floor, painted walls, repaired the ceiling - just beautiful!! Zep and his socks like the new look!!
Next week we go to Ocracoke island in the Outer Banks, NC to relax on the beach, eat great food and play music with our friends...
We truly are living a charmed life!!
More updates to come...Advocare 24 Day Challenge to begin after our vacation. Since May 16th, 2014 - Mark has already lost 9.3 lbs as of 7/21 and I have lost 11.6 pounds!!! WOW. I am 169!! I haven't been in the 160's since I moved to Cincinnati. My goal is 160 lbs and I think Advocare will be the ticket!
