Spring plans

It's warming up, so we're getting motivated. Jason and I have made a bold move and decided to sign up for a half marathon in September. No promises that either one of us will be able to run the whole thing, but if we work hard over the next 5 or 6 months, we should be in pretty good shape to run most of it, right? I made a pact with one of my coworkers to exercise before work 3 days each week -- Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Hopefully having to check in with her about it will guilt me into actually doing it!

We've also been looking around our house and thinking about tackling some of the projects we've been putting off since we moved in. Number one on my list is to paint the blinds from natural wood to white. It will be tedious work, but all of the DIY blogs tell me it can be done. I think it will make a huge difference. Those blinds have bugged me since I first looked at the house 2 years ago!

Number one on Jason's list is to paint the dining room. He is not a fan of the red and I think it's finally time for it to go. We're both feeling pretty motivated right now -- let's hope we can get through these projects without losing steam!

Ugly blinds. Outdated paint color. Cute daughter.
