Let me Finish . . .

Well, clearly something didn't save on that last post. I didn't mean to leave you dangling!

So of course, in November we celebrated Webb's fourth birthday and launched our new business venture, CrossFit Hog Town. It was a busy month. Chris was working hard on building bunk beds for Webb's birthday and getting a lease signed on our space. Once that was done, we began the process of announcing it on social media. Thinking back, it was a complete whirlwind and all happened so quickly. This Christmas was a little different because we were spending so much time getting building up to code . . . new bathrooms, fire exits, etc. It was wonderful as always though because Nancy came to stay with us. Having her here makes it so much more fun.

January was a CRAZY time! We hosted an open house at the box at the end of the month so the whole month was spent making sure we had the equipment in, marketing done, things up to code, and members ready to join. The open house was a success- I think we had around 60 people total come from our community. That following Monday was our first class. Here we are six months later and we are continuing to grow! Owning a business is a lot of work but it is so rewarding. We have met some of the nicest people. I have developed a real love for CrossFit (it's more like an addiction) and I'm actually competing in my first competition in September. I'm training about 5 days a week which I'm loving. Thank you, summer break for allowing me more time to work out!

Life took a big turn in April. To make a long story short, we went to visit a private school for Webb and they asked for my resume! Two interviews later, I was offered the job and of course, accepted! I am thrilled to be joining the staff this fall and certainly look forward to being a part of Webb's education when he starts in another year!

I'll do a recap tomorrow of our summer so far. It's been pretty low-key with lots of play dates and pool time.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Finally!

I'm back! I'm back! Oh I'm so happy to be back to blogging! Back in October, something crazy happened with my google account and was locked out of my account. Today, I FINALLY found a link that helped me reset everything and now we're back in business!

I've really missed blogging. I've often visited the blog to look back at old pictures of Webb and I'm so glad I have this little place to call my own. It holds many special memories for my little family!

A lot has happened since I wrote back in September! Let me try to back up a bit and fill in the missing pieces!

October: We spent a few weekends in the mountains. The first weekend we went to a beautiful house near Dillsboro with Nancy and Chris' parents. We went canoeing, hiking, shopping, and ate a delicious meal at the Jarrett House.



The last weekend of October, we took Webb to Tweetsie for his fourth birthday! Tweetsie was the cutest, quaintest, most adorable family place I've been to in a while. We rode tons of rides and enjoyed the beautiful mountain air. It was perfect! I think we may ago for this fifth birthday this fall!
