Whats new in the Taylor world...

Today has been catching up on lots of blogging...mostly while riding the bike at the gym! :)  

My ankle is giving me a bit of trouble, so no "wogging" for a bit, just biking.  So, today I rode the bike for 1 hr to make up for a few dias of no working out and to reach a decent calorie burn.

The Taylor World has been bananas as usual for us this time of the year.

• Ben is busy "farming" away, as usual. He is getting more used to the demands of the new job, and they now have a pretty full staff, so they are becoming more "effecient" I gues you could say. 
• Mom and dad Taylor just came to see us...well more Ben. I worked the whole time they were here, but they came up to see me with Ben for supper one night in jetmore & that was fun.  They got to see my lil apartment and where I work. 
• The Cimarron house is OFFICIALLY RENTED!!! And all of our JUNK is out of there!  Yeah, we are officially (minus junk in the shed) all moved to Ulysses. 
• MOm & Dad O'Leary, came to see us last week for a few days and we had a blast.
• Four more days of work (starting tom), then a day of rest and heading to so cal -- yeah for beach, fam & friend time!
• Then Stephanie gets to come bk to KS with me for a quick weekend!
• And then I get to start my new schedule in August for work! YEAHH!!!  I get to see Ben more & hopefully go on a lil vaca with him in Aug.

I have officially been working out for almost 6 weeks now...only lost a few pounds, but down a few inches, which is nice.  And I'm noticing that working out is getting alot easier, and I "crave" it if I skip a workout. 

Hello from the gym in Ulysses!

Parental visit

Mom and dad came bk from denver with us. Lol

That was a long ride -- note dad has bladder size of a pea and falls asleep as a passenger! =) 

Poor mom and dad were stuck helping me move rest of our junk from cimarron, but ben & I r so thankful that they were there to help. 

They got to enjoy the fourth at liz & ryans while I wked. The boys played with a ton of fireworks and had a ball. Then sunday whole fam came to Ulysses for a bbq and cards! 

Short and busy visit but good one! 

Denver girls trip

Two weekends ago Luz, Alana, Bertha (heather) and I set out on a trip to get awsy to Denver area!

We hit up two rockies vs. sf giants games --rockies dominated by the way -- ate out alot, worked out alot, went to Golden co a few times (one my fav places), went to the coors brwery, and much more. 

Overall great trip!  I think i was a bit too exhausted going into the trip...which might of made me a bit cranky -- my friends would never admit so lol. But had a good time. 

Fav part golden as usual and riding the "bike fairies" after the games!!!

Oh and the dolled up pic if me is alana doing my makeup and lashes! 

Circle of life

Hello again. Been awhile. U set out to do a task and think oh blogging no deal, Ill have time to do it. Lol yah right!  

So today Im attempting to play a bit of catch up if I can, internets being a bit dumb. 

So, Ive been an Rn for one full year now! Wow! Although its been only a year, this job continually reminds u how fragile life is. 

I feel like this blog has been about me having a "heavy heart" and bout lots of thankfulness...guess that is where Im at in life this year. 

Right at this exact moment, I have a heavy and happy heart. Im very thankful for the gift of life, family, friends and love!  

Ten years ago today we laid nana bea to rest...cant believe how quickly ten years goes by!  

Then last night another one of God's special angels was called home. 

And today find out a close friend is expecting!  

The circle of life continually amazes me. 

My heart is happy for the new gift of life, for the chance to go home in 5 days and for the wedding soon approaching. 

Heavy heart for a close friends loss and for other struggles with those around me. 

Although I never lived near nana bea, she made an amazing impression on my life and I miss her dearly! 

To my dear friend whose life was just flipped upside down...cherish the love and memories u were blessed with, those will always be with u!  We all love u and r here for u! 

Prayer request please for lots of people around me! Heres to hoping next four nights fly by!
