January 31, 2018 by Aprille Leave a Comment

Dear YMCA: “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.” I jest, but only a little. But I feel impressed to tell you “my YMCA story,” because it’s a good one. It was September 26, 2014. I had once again been woken up at o-dark-insanity by a child who was less than two … [Read more…]

Dear Gym: it’s good to be back

May 28, 2013 by Aprille 2 Comments

I haven’t stepped on a scale in almost 2 months. But it doesn’t take some magic unsightly numbers to tell me what my body has been screaming at me for the last few weeks. Extreme fatigue, severe muscle pain, rib pain, headaches, and irritability – symptoms of my physical conditions that normally get chased away … [Read more…]

The chaos of moving and settling in

May 13, 2013 by Aprille 5 Comments

The day that we moved into our new apartment was probably the most difficult and hectic day of the entire moving process. We had hoped that the movers would deliver our household goods on Saturday, as Russ was supposed to start his new job on the following Monday. Unfortunately, they had some issues with their … [Read more…]

How “Junk Mail” Changed My Life

July 23, 2012 by Aprille 22 Comments

When Russ deployed to Afghanistan (the second time), one of my goals for the deployment was to lose more of that stubborn baby weight. I blogged about my weight-loss journey and had made a lot of progress in the first four months of Ezra’s life. But that baby weight was as strong-willed as the baby … [Read more…]
