I don't know about everyone else but I could not beleive the mess of snow when I woke up. I shoveled I path for my daughter to get on the bus and then I started on my drive way. About an hour later I went out to finish the job, and saw my neighbor was very stuck, so me and two other women pushed her out. I decided I should shovel her drive way so she did not get stuck on her way back in. Then I felt bad for our neighbor, she is single and older so I shoveled her drive way. Then I finished mine.

By the time I was done I could not bend over one more time, but I was not watching the clock, and when I got back in the house it was to late to cancle my gym appointment(daycare). So I rushed around got ready and left. Much to my amazment I ran 3 miles in 31 minutes. (one of my best times) when I got off the treadmill I was thinking k I'm done but decided to do my abs. I didn't get very far with that because they are so sore.(but it felt good to lay on the bench) I am reading a really good book right now so I decided the only way I would get any of it read today was if I got on the bike. So I put half the weight on that I normally do and took off. 30 minutes later I was shoked to see how far I had gone. I was at the peak suspense in my book. When I got off the bike my legs were so jello. I have done alot of streching since I have been home.

Where are you in Utah? I want to meet you in person. You sound like someone who is a really amazing person every time I'm on here and just from your life...I try and rub shoulders with amazing people. We are in Provo. In case you forgot who I am ...I'm Sarah Pachev, the wife of Sasha...who owns/started this whole crazy blog. :)

I live in Lehi. I would not say I am amazing. I would like to think most people have it in them to do what I do. We are all amazing in diffrent ways.

I would be up for meeting. Just don't expect me to meet you, run and talk all at once. I am not there yet :)

I do remember who you are! You and your husband had a good impact on me when I first joined this blog.

All amazing people say they aren't amazing...I guess I just really appreciate people's different talents and stand in awe of things I'm not willing to do myself. I just admire you and try to be around people I admire. I guess I wasn't thinking about running together because I usually go at 6 in the morning around my block....not something most people think of as fun. Maybe we could just have you and your family over for dessert on Sunday. (we can't do dinner with friends until warm weather because our kitchen is small...we do however have a large deck that acts as overflow for group dinners when it's warm enough to eat outside)

We don't use any white sugar but I still can make all sorts of yummy desserts. Would you like to come tommorrow or would another Sunday work better for you?

I just read alot about people from the blog getting together and running together and talking. I always just think "I have to concentrate on breathing to hard"

As far as comming over. I don't get out of church until 5:30 and then we come home and eat dinner. So if we came over it would have to be at like 7 or 7:30.

I don't know what time you had in mind.

And any Sunday is fine. You let me know.

I have just sworn off sugar all together because I can't control myself when it's around. And to be honest with you I would not know the first thing about making a healthy dessert. I did not grow up eatting healthy at all so this is all new to me. But I would love to try one of yours. I have looked at all the recipes you posted and try my best to incorporate those into my meals.

O and are you sure you know what you are getting into having my whole family over? There are alot of us!

Would today at 7 or 7:30 work for you? We'd love to have you over. I grew up in a normal American family too and have had to learn a lot. Pretty much I just look up recipes on the internet and see if it's possible to make it healthier. I use cyrstalized fructose instead of sugar.

We are going out of town the next two Sundays so if today doesn't work we'll set up something for a few weeks out.

And I guess I don't know what I'm getting into having all of you over but we have 5 of our own. There are 8 kids in the family I grew up in and I'm happiest being around a lot of people.

Tonight will work for us. I do like to think my kids are pretty well behaved it just seems like alot.

I grew up with three sisters but my parents split up so I was with one or two sisters at a time after the age of 12.

I don't know where you live!
