My first entry in the http://iheartfaces.com/ photo challenge. I am by no means in the same category of some of these great ladies, but I have fun taking pictures none the less.

{ Randomness }

What's happened to the past two months? As a kid I remember that time seemed to stand still. I felt school would never end and I would never grow up. Now, as a grown up time seems to go by in a flash. I need another 2 hours a day to do what I want and another 2 hours to sleep more.

I wish the cold would go away. I know we are spoiled out here with blue skies... but I am ready for some HOT sun. I think it is funny when we get a dusting of snow and the schools go on a two hour delay... the roads are only wet! My girls love that they can stay in bed for another couple of hours, but don't like that I make them walk to school.

I have had lots of complications from my knee surgery at the end of December. According to my doctor, I tried to do to much too soon. I now have lots of fluid in the incision sites and may have to have large needles inserted to drain it. I am not a fan of this. Because I am having a hard time walking, I have not been able to get on my bike and it is really bothering me. This time last year I was riding about 30-40 miles on the weedend. I rode for the first time 2 weeks ago and only went 1o miles because I was hurting. I miss the road and the feeling of freedom I feel when I am out riding. My good friends and riding buddies want to do at least 60 miles of the Santa Fe Century in May, and I don't think I will be ready. My heart is very heavy because of this and I am trying to stay happy and positive. Riding is my solice and I have not found anything to help feel the void.
Patience is not a virture God blessed me with when it comes to myself. I have always been able to heal from injuries quickly. It sucks getting older. That is the only thing I can think of that is holding me back.

MacKenzie now just wants to be called Kenzie since there is a character on TV who uses that name. "Kenzie" is only a half in shorter than me. I always try to wear at least a 1 inch heal around her so I can be taller than her. She loves that she is almost as tall as me. I am hoping she is at least 5'7".

I thought Bailey was going to be my petite one like my mom. She has had a growth spurt and is now 5'3". My baby turns 12 in 2 weeks and has a 4.0 in school. She told me she wants to be an oncologist so she can help cure cancer so others don't lose their moms like I did.

I still like taking pictures.

Above is a b/w pic of one of my Valentine's Day roses.

PINK is one of Bailey's favorite colors, so I kept this one original.
