Just Stuff...

Blogging Amy is back. So my goal for now is to get it all out through words...oh yea and running...since I am very under trained lately and developing a little ring around the middle. So the bottom line and the reason I started blogging today of all days is this....I am ready to start my life all over again. I am hitting the reset button and saying...OK Perez...lets do this the right way!

So a little update of where I am in life...things have been good lately. My kids are happy and fun as ever. Lucy and Zoe are squealing like little piglets as we speak. Kai is living with Kerry in Oregon. A topic I will talk about in a separate post down the road...but for the sake of Kai and his happiness it is a good thing...and thats all that matters:)

I am excited about my life and what is in store for me. I am learning alot everyday about myself and the people that I have in my life. I am learning of how I want to be treated by those around me. I am learning to stand up for what I want and need in life again. I was pretty good about that a while back, but lost my gusto I guess. I'm going to actually start dating...nerve racking, but should be an interesting experience:) I'm learning to love unconditionally. A friend recently told me that to love unconditionally means to have no judgements or expectations when you give love. Love that! So basically to sum it all up...I'm in "re-evaluate what the hell I've been doing for the past 2 years" mode.

I'm in esthetics school this year. I took a little break to catch my breath and train...well I've caught my breath at least:) I will be going back in a few weeks. I am very excited to get going on my esthetics career one day! I absolutely love the work and it is exactly what I have wanted to do for a very long time.

Now for the update that I've been putting off. My training this year. Now, prior to saying anything I have to say, this is something that I absolutely LOVE to do. It is one of, if not my most favorite things to do. Although I am STILL not fast (one day I tell ya) it still brings me so much satisfaction and happiness! Last June I registered for the Irongirl Womens Tri in Las Vegas...well the time has come for me to do that race in a couple weeks. Should be interesting:) I am excited for it but truly under trained.
I also have the women of steel tri in May and will most likely do Salem in May. That is 3 tris in may...what the? I did the Provo city half in April...a couple weeks ago and ran it in the exact same time that I ran my first one in 2 years ago. Ha! Somethings never change:) I was pretty lazy on that one...no walking but I certainly didnt push it. It was freezing! I have a few more little races here and there throughout the summer...but I am hopefully going to top it all off with the St George Marathon in October! Getting in will be the main obstacle:) Well until race day anyway! I've been going to spin class to beef up my biking ability since there has been so much snow and rain and cold. It is a GREAT day to ride today but I have flat tires and no pump. Geez! Excuses!

Well enough of that for now...just a little update on the little snippets of my life.

Life's good and I'm happy. I have great kids, a good job, healthy, and am learning so much everyday.
