Austin Stake Relief Society Women's Conference

I'm barely making the time for the P90X workouts this week due to intense focus on our upcoming women's conference. Here's the poster that we just had printed this week. I've been making invitations for the conference since December (which is why I didn't make my own Christmas cards for 2009), and am making 100 invitations per ward, and there are ten wards in our stake. One thousand hand-made invitations with embellishments and bling takes a long time! I'm on the final stretch though, and have made about 900 so far. I'll finish them by tonight, no matter what, so I can deliver them tomorrow to be handed out at church on Sunday in the different chapels. I've taken a few pictures of them, but want to wait until after they are all completed to post them on my blog.

As far as P90X goes, I've lost four pounds and am sticking to the diet really well. In fact, Lindsey had to deliver brownies to a boy at school yesterday and called me in the morning asking me to bake them, so she could pick them up over her lunch time. It was my first time to bake since the night before I started with P90X (January 4), and I didn't even taste a crumb of brownies, which wasn't very easy. I put the remaining ones in the freezer, along with several boxes of Girl Scout cookies that I bought.

You didn't even lick the batter?! You are strong! Keep it up Kelly. I love the poster and can't wait to see the invitation.

No batter licking either, Julie! I wouldn't do that anyway. I detest batter. Cooked...another story. The one thing that helped is that I prefer mine with pecans, and I made them without.

The invitations are JUST about done. I'm not going to bed tonight until they are. Then I'll take pictures of them tomorrow when it's sunshiny.

Wow you are pretty amazing. I can't believe that you made 1000 invites, and the fact that you snubbed the brownies, I am just in awe here.

I love baked goods, pretty sure diet or not I would have caved. Way to go Kelly.

Kelly, I really missed your Christmas card this year:( But I guess you have good reason. That is a lot of invites. I am very happy for you guys. My husband and I loved P90X. I did about 60 days and saw huge results. But gave up when winter hit. I got to get back into it. It really does work! Good Luck! Miss you guys.

Good job on the invitations and the workout! Good luck with the conference--I'm sure it will be wonderful with you involved.

I missed your Christmas card, too ... but I am NOT ONE TO TALK! lol Nothing like being 6 wks late in mailing Christmas gifts. @sigh@

I'm glad that the workout and eating are going well (when you're able to find the time with your very busy schedule)! I'm trying so hard to find that balance in my life. It's truly a daily struggle for me!

Triathlon triumph

Are you kidding me? A triathlon and I have never belonged in the same sentence. It must have been time for something new! (The "BEFORE" race shot, with goggles and swim cap in hand.) What an unforgettable week this was! I actually DID enter my first triathlon, with the goal of simply finishing it. Take note of the emphasis on the word FIRST, because I loved it so much, that you can guarantee that there will be more. It was a blast. Seriously. My friends Lorraine and Robin had trained and signed up to do the event, which was two days ago, on Saturday. Three days beforehand, I heard about it and basically had a spontaneous urge to join them, so I registered. The only partial preparation ahead of time that I had been doing was cycling in the neighborhood here and there on my mountain bike with some other friends. And doing some micro-laps in our backyard pool. Our friend, Dave, was also there. The three of us women appreciated Dave's encouragement and support, as he's ...

The BIG REVEAL!

We LOVE our new pool! There are a couple of problems that need to be fixed, so we're crossing our fingers that they get it done right, and soon, considering we have given them the final check for the balance of the pool, and we don't have any leverage. Three of the waterfalls work. This is the main one and I like the natural look. Below, here's the deep end waterfall, and it's flows nicely. The water sheer like this one, that flows into the shallow beach area, is the fall that is not working. It's frustrating, but hopefully they'll fix it soon. The fountain in the spa is blocked too. Here's the small rock waterfall, which works just great. It took about 18 hours to fill the pool and we practically watched it gallon by gallon. I stayed up all night long, making sure it didn't overflow. We swim in it every day. Last night we went on a midnight swim and it was beautiful. The water temperature is perfect. I'm extremely thankful that we have our new...

San Antonio temple weekend

Here am I (five months pregnant), with Hannah, Kelly, Lindsey, and Christopher, walking out of the San Antonio temple after our new daughter was sealed to us for time and for all eternity during a special, sacred ceremony, this past Saturday afternoon.  We were happy to have a wonderful group of guests in attendance with us, Kelly's two sisters, Debbie and Brenda, my sister, Julie, Kelly's mom and dad, my mom, my good friends Lorraine and Stewart, Carol and Rick, and one person from our ward, my buddy, Sue. Dinner later that night consisted of a feast at the Salt Lick in Driftwood, Texas, for some incredible pork ribs, cole slaw, and more. We strolled along the Riverwalk to show our visiting family members one of San Antonio's popular tourist spots.  It was a beautiful, windy day, the Saturday following Thanksgiving, in San Antonio.  We tried to find a corner with less wind to blow in our faces.  More photos of the family.  The family, strolling along th...
