Ten on Tuesday

Well this is my first time doing Ten on Tuesday but I been wanting to blog and have a lot of random thing so here it goes!

   My parents got me an awesome sewing machine for Christmas so I have been dying to use it! Back in March I bought a bunch and I mean a bunch of patterns for different things like pillows and dresses and I got it all out and started learning :) I have since made 9 dresses and sold 6 of them!!! I am addicted to sewing and making things, last night I bought some fabric I have been looking for and I will be making a pair of shorts this week so once they are done I will post pics. Along with ones of the other dresses. p.s.I am taking orders and also doing little girl dresses! Oh and monogramming (my friend lets me use her machine until i get mine in July!)

   Since I moved here to El Paso I have become very involved with our FRG (Family Readiness Group) it keeps me busy and it is a great group of woman to be around. Last week I accepted the position as FRG Leader so I will be spending even more of my time on stuff for families and the soldiers, but I love every bit of it. Wish me Luck!!!

   The unit the my husband is in is called the Warhorse and the wives are called Fillies so myself and two other wives have started a group called Fittest Fillies based off of Biggest Loser. We meet once for weigh-ins and we also have different exercise classes just about every day of the week ranging from walking, swimming and my fav...Behnke Boot camp, lead by my husband when the Army allows his schedule to do so, otherwise it's me! I am still looking for a 1/2 marathon to train for in maybe June or July, any suggestions?

   I am hosting a baby shower on Sunday for Cassie one of my friends and an FRG member :) She is due May 23rd so I hope she makes until the shower! On a side note please keep her, her family and especially Cassie's mother in your prayers as she is in the ICU right now and cannot be with her.

    I miss my hubby! Off to play in the field again, he will be in the field/training more this year then home, ugh!

Spur Holder!

I did it, and so did all the of 1-13 CAV wives that took part in the 1st Annual Spur Ride...we earned our Spurs!

Let me just tell you...This was a very exciting, fun, motivating and team work filled day and would LOVE to do it again. We started the say around 8:30 AM and it was COLD and WINDY as it has been for the past two weekends now but that was not stopping any of us.

Myself and 5 other ladies took part of the competitive team for Apache Troop so we were timed on how long it took us to do the obstacle course part of the spur ride. The obstacle course was made up of climbing up a chain link ladder, jumping over walls, going over and under telephone poles, sit ups, push ups, island hoping, bear crawling under wire, climbing up and over a rope wall, crawling through a tunnel and a few other things in-between. We also had to complete a history test, take apart and put back together a weapon ( I took it apart in 1 min 15 sec, but it took me 1 min 20 sec to put it back together which resulted in 20 squats). My favorite part of the whole day was repelling off the 4 story building!! I want to do it again :)

And still today I am so SORE :) It is a great feeling to know that I worked out so hard that every inch of my body can feel it! I did NOT like the sand stickers or splinters that I got all in my hands from the bear crawl but it was ALL worth it in then end and I have one proud Hubby!!
