Month in Review: February 2013

Another month has come and gone…and as this is posted, I will be well into the first day of the MS Challenge Walk – a 50 mile walk to support those living with MS. Once the walk is over, I am hoping to resume my regular workout routine – walking everyday (just not crazy distances!) and yoga 2-3 times a week. I’m hopeful that the warm weather will be here soon as the dog loves going out for long walks!

I’m still getting in a fair amount of crocheting – I finished the blanket for my niece Keegan, who I will finally get to meet at the end of March (they live in London and will be coming home for a visit). My brother and his wife found out they are having a girl in June, so my sister-in-law and I picked out the colors for their blanket. I love making these blankets…there’s just something about having a handmade keepsake.

Here are my reading stats for February!
