1. The Townhouse
We found out on Friday that the foundation has been poured, flat work is currently being completed, and framing should start 
this week or next week. Hooray!! We are planning to go up to Logan to take some pictures of the progress in a few weeks and already I can't wait!! :)

On Saturday the weather was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Since it's been too cold outside to run (for me anyway) I have been doing all of my running on the treadmill. I was anxious to get outside and see how I would fair. Not only was I attempting an outdoor run, but i was going for 10 miles ..my first double digiter. I mapped out a route, tied on my shoes, stretched, and I was off. 
1 Hr 54 min later I finished it! Woooo Hooo! :) I was a little stiff and sore on Sunday, but I was able to do my running today and felt great aferwards. It was a huge confidence booster for me since I only have to get to 13.1 miles for the race and I have until April 18...I actually realized today when I was reviewing my training timeline that I am a week ahead of schedule. Bonus! :)

Travis and I had an appointment with the tax man tonight. This is something that we both have been dreading since we were sure that we were going to owe a bunch of money this year... at least according to my calculations on Turbo Tax. Up until this year 
I have done our taxes and we have come out in the black...not this year..we were in the red by a long shot! I couldn't figure out what was going on so our friends Brian and Maggie referred us to an AWESOME tax man. We went in, watched him plug in all of our information and a half an hour later he was giving us our results...we did still owe...but SIGNIFICANTLY less than what we were expecting! NEVER again will I do my own taxes! I am sure that the tax guy probably has never seen 2 people so excited about the amount of money they were going to have to pay the government :)

Roxy got her hair cut, Travis got an Xbox, I am almost finished reading the Twilight series, and we are going on a long overdue grocery shopping trip tomorrow. Other than that it is life as usual in the Atwood home...work, school (for Trav), sleep, repeat. I will be sure to let everyone know when something else exciting (or not) happens! :)
