Happy Easter!!!

Happy Easter Everyone!!! 

Easter is definitely one of my favorite holidays because it was Michael's first holiday! Look how tiny he was the first time he met the Easter Bunny! I love looking at each new Easter Bunny picture next to his first, because he was so tiny, and the picture people did a wonderful job accommodating our newborn! I hope everyone's Easter is full of joy!!!

I often have to remind myself of this while I'm at the gym. I look around, and a lot of the people there are more educated about fitness than me, and are lifting SOOOO much more than what I'm capable of currently. But, I remind myself that everyone is on their own journey. Right now, I am where I am, I can only move forward! =)
