April 2009

Lots to catch you up on. . . . . Here are the highlights: Steve and I went to San Antonio and Austin, TX in March for my brother's wedding. Introducing: Joe and Robin Muscarella!








In April, Steve had to travel for work to Wisconsin one week and North Carolina another week. In May we are going to NY for my cousins' wedding. We are still trying to move to Jacksonville wehre Steve has been commuting to every day since February. Our house in Deltona is for sale or rent. We are looking for a place to rent in Jacksonville and a job for me. My dream job would be to do Student Venture ministry again in that area. I miss it a lot and want something different that doing crisis counseling at the pregnancy center. I could still volunteer at a center in JAX once I'm there, which would be great.

Another big accomplishment is I've been actually using my gym membership since January! Yeah, who does that?! I've lost a total of 35 pounds and 5% body fat in four months so far. It's a long road but we are seeing progress finally. I have a trainer named Linda that I meet with once or twice a week. That helps a lot! I highly recommend finding the right trainer to meet your needs. I figure she knows best what I need to do to keep losing and its an investment worth making for my future. Every workout is different and intense. I'm enjoying pushing my body to do things I don't think I'm strong enough to do.

Lately the weather has been so perfect that I just have to go to the beach to walk. I just don't want to be stuck inside a gym when the weather is so nice. Last week I started with just walking 2 miles. But this week I've gone twice and did 3.2 miles each day. Steve is goin with me tomorrow to walk together. yeah!

Well, that's the latest news from the Burns'.
