Changes:
It is so crazy how often life changes. Priorities change, things that were once important no longer are, people who were once important are no longer as important. You realize family is everything and everything else positive is just a bonus. I have considered this last year in my 30's one of my most growing years yet. I wanted to be able to set more boundaries in most areas of my life. I am still a work in progress considering I am probably the biggest people pleaser I know. I put myself last often and as I grow it is becoming more and more apparent that needs to change. I am slowly but surely doing it but I know one thing it takes time. There will be more major changes coming up in my life. All for the good in the long run, but of course change for me can be uncomfortable. It is not an easy feat for me but once again I know I can accomplish anything I put my mind to. I am fortunate to have a husband that is extremely supportive and loving wanting the best for my children and me. I am grateful for that and know that does not happen often. Jeff and I found each other when we were making the biggest change of our life 11.5 years ago. We are a really good team, although not perfect but I have to admit the past few months I have realized all the more how happy I am to have him as a husband.
My family:
It is amazing how fast my children are growing. They both have very similar personalities and they are a lot of fun with a LOT of energy and zest for life. They keep me busy and I am so happy to be able to spend more time with them lately. I talked with one of my closest friends about how they are only this little for so long and I don't want to miss out. It is hard to balance family, career and everything else in life. Every mom I know battles it. It is tough.
Fitness:
I started training for my 4th fitness competition in July. I trained for 10 weeks and with only 4 weeks left I decided it was way to much for me to handle at the time. I felt sick, unhappy and extremely over whelmed. I am so happy I made the choice I did and have zero regret. Although shows are a blast and I enjoyed them it does not fit my families lifestyle right now. A few months ago I started selling skin care and I am enjoying it. I also just signed up for my next Power lifting comp in January. I always love to have a goal and enjoyed the last one I did....so fun! So empowering!! So that's where I am now. Soaking up the time with my children, trying to constantly improve as a mom, wife, trainer, sister, daughter, friend. The past 12 years I have grown so much and love the woman I am now. I love to help people feel good about themselves and grow. I have a zest for life as well and I plan on continuing to kill it in every aspect but most importantly as a Mom and wife first.

Killing it as a friend already too!
