Its been a while since I did a blog post about what’s going on with me so I thought this would be a good away to bring things up to date and document what’s going on in my life.

The Highs:

• Ran the Cheetah 5K @ the Cincinnati Zoo
• Went to Columbus and visited with our Friends Toby and Jen, ate at new restaurant and visited a few new places
• Discovered the Cincinnati Nature Center and taken some awesome nature/landscape images
• Been cooking a lot and made some awesome dinners (blue cheese burgers, broccoli stuff chicken, beef fajitas, chicken cordon blue … just to a name a few)

The Lows:

• I have been waking up at 4 am and have not been able to go back to sleep. It’s extremely annoying and frustrating.
• My allergies / sinuses have been testing my limits.

Things I’m currently love:

• The Perfecting Face Brush from bareMinerals
• 
• The Perfecting Veil from bareMinerals
• 
• Dannon Light and Fit Greek Yogurt with Chocolate on Top
• 
• Amazon PrimePantry

Work Outs / Running:

• I have gotten back to going to the gym and running since I went on vacation, just not consistently
• I am running on average 30 miles a week
• I need to find a workout routine / schedule that works and I can stick to

Thinking:

• About Allyn’s 40^th Birthday
• Graduate school and getting a second masters degree or starting a PH.D. program.
• All the photos I need to edit, photo books I want to build and blog post I want to write.
• How to keep my blog going to reflect my current life and interest

Reading:

• The Wright Brothers by David McCullough
• The Running Revolution by Dr. Nicholas Romanov

Listening to:

• Sole Nation (podcast)

Watching:

• Little People Big World – I have loved watching Zac and Tori get married
• Bachelor in Paradise – I can’t believe I watching this show but I find it strangely funny
• Little Family – love this series on TLC very inspiring and a good family show.

Anticipating:
