Busy Bees

We have had a busy busy busy week. We got to spend some amazing time at home with my family last weekend. Then we got back in time for Cade to be at practice on Sunday. Monday and Tuesday were full of work, class, and practice for both of us. Then Wednesday morning Cade left with the team to head to West Georgia. I had a late night on Wednesday night and then Thursday had a busy day with work. Then got to cheer on the BISON!!! Unfortunately they lost 28 - 21. We are keeping our heads up and looking on to OBU this next weekend. We are excited about this game because Cade's parents, Casi, Zach, Kimb, and grandparents from Texas will all be meeting us there. We will possibly stay in Nashville with them all that night or we may come back to Searcy. We will just have to see how the week goes. As for this weekend we are relaxing, working on a research paper, and studying for a personal training exam. OH and watching the HOGS BEAT GEORGIA!!! :D

Insanity is going well, we will finish week 2 up on Saturday. The exercises are slowly getting easier and I am able to do more and more of each workout. I am getting excited about it.

I have to get back to work now! Have a great day and a blessed weekend!!

Insane

So we have started the Insanity workout. It is INSANE!! We are getting up around 7 every morning to workout before I go to work. Cade is complaining of sore calves today. My calves are a little sore as well as my hamstrings. This is a neat workout in that it is all body weight exercises. It is tough but I am really loving it. That is the fitness guru in me. The hardest part for me is that I am also teaching a boot camp class at work. I had to teach Tuesday and today due to the holiday. Tuesday was upper body and today was lower so I am sore from 2 one hour workouts for 2 days straight. Looking forward to only one workout tomorrow and its a recovery day. We will see how Friday goes to see if I can do 3 workouts in one day.

I also got new shoes for working out. They are the vibram five fingers sprint. I love them. They have helped with my shin splints tremendously already and I have only worked out with them 3 times. They feel weird at first but your foot forms to them. My feet have been a little sore from the change but nothing too painful.

I am so excited that it is finally getting cooler outside. We had beans and cornbread tonight for dinner and are having chili tomorrow with Joe and Michelle to kick off the 2010 NFL Football season. I cant wait to watch FAVRE beat up on the Saints!! WHOO HOO!! GO VIKINGS!!!

I hope you all have a great rest of the week!

Undefeated

This week was focused on Cade's first game to coach. I was really nervous leading up to this game. Lots of change happened this season and I was just anxious to see Cade's hard work pay off. I was more nervous before this game than I ever was when he played. Here are a few pictures of the game...

Cade and Rocky leading the team out

Looks just like his daddy coaching

Doing what he loves

I love this man with all of my heart

HU WON 20 - 0!! CADE IS 1 - 0 Coaching and UNDEFEATED!!! :D I am so PROUD of him and I LOVED watching him do what he loves.

Church this morning and small group this evening were AMAZING!! I love our church and am just so blessed. I was overcome with joy and sorrow all at the same time this morning. We had a bunch of families going through a rough time and it saddened me to see them struggle but also made me thankful for the life I have. I don't need to complain about not seeing Cade as much as I want because we had a family loose a father and husband this week. I should be blessed with all the time I have with him and just make the most of it. I hope you all have a blessed week and enjoy your day off tomorrow if you get it off.

Cade and I start the Insanity workout tomorrow. Wish us luck!!

In Him,
Ashton
