Sounds like you have an awesome guy. Me too — we're going on 27 years next month. I too love Insanity. I just barely started, but I'm loving it, and you're right it is insane (makes me feel like an old lady, cause I can't move as fast as they can) but at least I'm doing it. Thanks for the tip about Katie's blog. I'm going to check it out. You can never have too many blogs to look at, can you? LOVE your blog. Keep up the amazing work you do.

Gah…butter fingers on my previous comment…
And, again, LOVED this post! Parker is a doll – makes me smile to picture you finding the sticky notes after a rough night. So excited and happy for you, Susan!
I headed over to both Katie's and Michelle's blogs and laughed out loud at Katie's pregnancy comments and Michelle's former student's note. Of course, I am now following them, too!
Thanks soooo much for the shout out and for helping me out with my giveaway! You are such a special lady!

Thanks so much for linking up! I'm so disappointed in myself that it took so long to make it through everything! But, I loved your post! I need to jump on this Insanity bandwagon I think!
