I'm Alive!

Hey everyone, I have been crazy busy with work, a boy getting ready for international travel and my health! I have been working a lot of hours at The Knitting Bee this summer. I love my job! I mean come on who doesn't like to help other people spend money on yarn! When I haven't been at the shop I have been taking care of my boys! The oldest made the US Men's Cadet Foil Squad and will be heading to Budapest in early October. I have spent a lot of my time figuring out all the logistics of that! He and I are also traveling to Germany for a competition in November! I am so excited. I started a little knitting project to wear when I am in Germany last night:)Can you say Kidsilk Haze and a rainbow! On another note I have been taking care of me. I have started running again and am planning on running the Humboldt Redwoods Half Marathon in October. I am from that area originally and I have convinced all my siblings to run the half with me!!! It is going to be soooo much fun. I hope our family lines the course and cheers us on! I have also been concentrating on eating well making almost all my food myself and counting my calories using a website called Calorie Count. I have lost 50 pounds since March and plan on losing 15 to 25 more! So these are the reasons that I have been absent from my blog! Sorry! Oh oh and I can't find my camera battery charger! I will have some pictures of knitting as soon as I find it! Happy Adventures, Trish
