New Years

If you are in the Provo area for New Years Eve you should really check this out. What a great way to start out your New Year!

Christmas Eve

This is what we are doing on Christmas Eve! It is very cold outside! My baby (he's 12) is on the roof clearing off the frost. That is part of my hubby in the window cut out there. We are working on the studio/garage/amusement park for Christmas. I love spending time together. I am lucky that they are willing to work in such cold. I can mostly support from the inside by making warm meals, that cold just gets to me. I just tell my Jesse that I can't help it my Dosha likes it when I stay warm. Merry Christmas!!

What now?

My teacher training has come to an end. I still have home work and other things to accomplish before I am completely finished. I have been enjoying the anatomy study that I have been doing. I just sit down with Cameron in the morning as he does his school work and I do mine. It creates some fun conversation between us as I learn about the body. I tend to interrupt him and say "Did you know this" or "Did you know that" about the body, I love learning.

I think that is why I am saying what now. There are other classes that are offered at Bodhi Yoga like this or this or even this. I just get so excited that I want to take them all now, today. I will have to put into use what I have learned so far and settle down and start with my breath. I know the answers are there if I take the time to listen.

Having Fun

See this kid?

And these awesome guys? Guess what they are doing? They are building a garage. This is something that my husband and I wanted to do ever since we built our home a few years ago. We needed a space for my hubby to park his truck and of course we need a spot to put the half pipe so that the boys can skate during the winter ;).

A couple of months into my Teacher Training my husband told me that he had been thinking about the garage and he thought he had a pretty good idea. When he told me that he had designed a garage that would include everything we needed I was so glad. He then said I have though of a way to put in a Yoga room for you. Wow I never dreamed of having a place so close to home. I look so forward to having a space to practice and share with others. Now when my husband gets that far away look in his eyes and he is thinking about building I get really excited to hear what his plans are or what he is thinking now.

I even got in on the action. I got to use this "lifty machine" to help put up the trusses. So cool!

This is a picture from the cab of "Lifty". It is hard to see but in the background that is the moon, just above the tree on the left. Those little dots on the left of that same tree on the ground are the deer. It was a beautiful day!

Happiest Birthday!

It's my birthday today and I couldn't ask for a nicer day! I love looking back on life and today was especially nice to do that. About 2 1/2 years ago I found Syl through a chain of events. I started to look into the classes that she offered and I knew that I just had to get there. In Feb. or March of 2009 I decided to sign up for the Thai Yoga Partner Training. I then talked to Syl over the phone and decided that I should start with the Yoga Teacher Training class that she offered in the fall. When the fall months came along our lives at home started to change. We had my nieces who ranged in age from 12 to 6 move in with us along with their newborn brother. We had a wonderful time but I knew that there was no way I could take the training I had signed up for. I called Syl again and worked it out with her.


The months went by and the trainings went by. I started to wonder if I would ever get to take the trainings that I was so wanting in my life. I love to see how things happen when it is the right time. That was what happened, it was right! I started my training in Aug. of this year and the best part of it was that I knew that class would end right before my birthday. I couldn't think of anything that I wanted more for myself. What a wonderful gift. I am forever grateful for a loving husband who says "It is your turn to go to school" and he supports me through it all. He picks up the slack while I am gone and always has a wonderful "Dudes weekend" with Cameron and Dylan. I am forever grateful to Syl. She is amazing and has created the most beautiful space that is Bodhi Yoga. The classes taught there are so great and the Teacher Training is life changing. If you are looking for the perfect gift for you or someone you love please look into this.
