Fall

       






            What a beautiful day!!! The sun is shining, the wind is blowing, the leaves are falling and the colors are amazin!!.What a beautiful fall afternoon! Something about fall is so relaxing. I don't know if it the subtle breeze or the smell of a cinnamon or apple candle burning. Could it be the smells of certain foods being cooked that you wouldn't cook in the summer because it is to hot to use the oven. I have no idea what it is I just love the fall.
         I love laying on the couch curled up in a blanket enjoying a lazy afternoon of watching T.V. or being outside doing yard work picking up all the bright colored leaves. Going for a nice afternoon drive checking out the scenery appreciating the last few nice days we have left until the weather gets to cold, and all you want to do is stay inside. Go for a nice jog enjoying the fact that it is still warm enough to still be outside but just cool enough that you might have to wear a long sleeve shirt. So many things make us enjoy the fall season.
         It's not only the weather that makes fall a great season it is so many other things. Enjoying a good football game, watching kids play soccer and according to my husband hunting. That one doesn't really matter to me, but for some it is the best part of fall.
          For now we get to enjoy the fall season for a few more weeks.It will start to slowly get cooler and cooler and eventually it will just be altogether cold. Fall will have passed and then we are on to winter which is another great season but I could definately do without snow. So for now lets enjoy what time we have left and not think about the snow and what is yet to come.

Hall of Fame

            

           


             Today was an amazing day for my family !! My father in law Ray Eddy Jr was inducted to the Saginaw Bowling hall of fame. To many that may not seem like much, but to our family it is a huge honor .Bowling is something that kind of runs in the blood. If you are from Saginaw and you are familiar with bowling Eddy would be a name that you would recognize. They have been some of the top bowler in the area for years, generation after generation.
              Not only is it an honor to been inducted, but knowing that you were nominated by your peers and members of the bowling community. Being recognized over the years for all of your many accomplishment and achievements. I mean what an honor! This is even more special for other reasons. Back in 1999 my father in laws dad was also inducted in the fall of fame. He passed away in 1976 so it was an honor for my father in law to stand up and accept that award in honor of his father and now he was honored with an award of his own.
              My father in law not only gets to enjoy his own accomplishment but he also gets to share and enjoy the accomplishment of his children and grandchildren as they are all bowlers as well. His son my husband is also one of the best bowlers in the area and hopefully will be able to share the same award as his dad and grandfather in the future. Our son is also bowler and also hopes to oneday share the honor with his grandfather and great grandfather  It awesome to sit back and watch and enjoy  all the generations of up and coming Eddy family bowlers. 
              Some people hope that their kids will one day grow up to be a basketball player or a football player. Not us !! My family has found their awesome skill and I think that is what we will stick with for now and in the future. Be prepared because the Eddy name will be around for years to come.

Working Out

       


   

        It is a very hard routine to get into. Once you do it is almost addictting. Going to the gym working every muscle in your body, working up a great sweat and really pushing yourself to the limit. It is amazing how good it can make you feel and also the sense of accomplishment is unbelievable. Some people may think I am crazy but others will know what I am talking about.
        I am not a die hard by any means. My life does not revolve around being at the gym, but I do go in phases. Either I am really into it and go almost everyday or like any novelty it wears off and you tend to stray away.
        Well now I am ready to get back into a routine. I used to be a regular at the gym, but with such a busy schedule these days I thought it was going to be a waste to pay a monthly fee for something that I would not be able to use. I kept telling myself that I  have enough workout equipment and workout DVD's at home so why pay for a membership when I can workout at home for free. Well that is not the case. If you are anything like me that is not going to happen. I tell myself everyday that I am going to go get on the treadmill or do one of my workout videos, but guess what? That never happens.
        I could even go as far as to get myself dressed like I am going to workout and still not workout. I am the type of person who needs to be in a class full of people with an instructor in my face telling me what to do and making me push myself harder than I could ever do on my own. You would think with all these T.V.advertisement for all these awesome workout videos that are supposed to get your body in rock hard shape in 90 days it would give someone motivation to workout at home. Well I am not one of those people.
         So I have now decided to get my life back in order and get my body back into shape. I will never be a supermodel. I just want to wake up in the morning knowing that I am going to have no trouble putting my jeans on.
