Dormant...

Well, it's been ages since I last wrote, and I was told by a little birdie (Nathan) that I should start updating again. Here is a quick little update of what is going on and I will try to catch up and post more later. 

Reese is the joy of our lives! She is absolutely the best companion I could have asked for. We run together pretty much daily, play fetch, hide and seek around the house, run errands, and cuddle (lots and lots of cuddles). She will be two years old in just a few weeks! She is just about 100 lbs of love. Reese is super obedient, she doesn't like men so much, loves all females, loves treats, and she loves to eat fruits and veggies. Coming home at the end of the work day to be greeted by her is the best thing ever, I love her loves and enthusiasm for life. 

Nathan is working so hard on his PhD at the University of Arizona in the Cancer Biology program. He has started his 3rd year of grad school and enjoying his work. In the next few months he will be finishing up his preliminary exams and moving onto just doing research. He is officially done with classes and homework, now it's just staying up with the research and writing a lot. He has been running a lot, I am super proud of him. Nathan could run a half marathon anytime if he wants to because that's just how well he has been training. He has recently started fishing on Saturday mornings, no fish to report yet. Nathan is busy but doing great! 

Linnley, well I am busy trying to keep my head on and support Nathan the best I can and make sure Reese doesn't have too much energy at the end of the day. I am loving that Nathan is doing what he enjoys, and that I get to spend my afternoons with Reese. Work is work. I am still teaching Sex Education in the Middle and High Schools around Tucson, it makes for very interesting stories at the end of the day. Last December I got my Personal Training Certification so I've been looking for a great job that would mesh with my personality and passion for training people. I am training for marathon #10, which will be the St. George Marathon in just a few weeks. I love training but I am eager to get the marathon over with. 

This summer we celebrated our 5 year anniversary! We had a great little vacation in the Phoenix area, which Reese got to spend time with her Grandma and Grandpa Sweeney. It's hard to believe it's been 5 years, it feels like forever yet at the same time it feels like it's gone so fast. 

I will try to post more about the adventures we've been on in the last year, complete with pictures!
