Just Plodding Along

One of my favorite things about our new home is that it is right on the river.  Every morning Max and I got for a stroll- usually early, early since the husband must be at work by 5:30 ( you know that whole the Army does more before 9a.m. than you do all day seems to be spot on). But that usually means we have our walking spot all to ourselves until we get to the turn around point where we share it with this creepy statue. I feel that I get way more exercise here than I did at our old place. Up and down stairs, multiple walks a day.... This means I can eat more Hot Tamales right? Today was a cross training day so I hit the bike and things have gotten very hard core around here as I now bike in a cage. No exercise equipment allowed on the 2nd floor where our loft is so into storage it went but I have set it up to use it and it is less creepy than I thought it would be. Somebody murdered the treadmill. Okay it was me and I probably won't remember to put it together until it is rainin...

The best thing about this past weekend (besides seeing D who I have not seen in three months) was to have him show me around base and tell me what he has been up to. This is also the location where he went to Airborne school some moons ago. Jump towers- no longer in use due to high rate of injury I believe. Now they just push you out of a plane. Kidding- sort of. Just jump out of this perfectly good airplane- no biggie  Fort Benning is a huge base with a ton of history and lots of neat historical buildings and landmarks. I am excited to check it out further in the future. More pics from our awesome loft we rented: Front entrance Hallway with original ladders used in the mill Kitchen and living area Bedroom Hallway to our front door Rafters on the river right outside our building Only five days of cross training, and three days of moving and I will be in my new home. Oh and five days of working. Don't forget about that.

Success! New home has been obtained! It is a loft at an old mill right on the river. A few blocks and we will be in the middle  of downtown Columbus. Look what I saw while wandering- mid day run group! The loft area has a nice green space and a dog park for Max. Super excited for our new adventure. Less excited that we are living on the second floor with no elevator. Not a problem most days- but moving day will prove to be a great butt workout ;).
