We're a DUNN deal: December 2010

Yes, I know.....I am REALLY, REALLY behind, and haven't updated my blog since, ummm, well, yeah, before school started ( yikes, that's bad).....So, now that we are ending this semester, taking finals and such, I will give ya another update (FINALLY right?!?)

Man, how do I even begin updating a blog I haven't kept up with in 4 months.....oh well, here goes nothing, catching ya up on a whole semester!

Well, Wally and I are both in our last hoorah at this whole school thing (Praise the Lord), we can't hardly even take it anymore....one more semester....I have been doing the tedious process of a master's thesis....Vitamin D and Athletic Performance...that is pretty much the definition of my whole semester in a nutshell. Its been fun learning and researching but needless to say I will be extremely ready to be done (cross my fingers, in May)

I also worked with an employee wellness program, doing fitness bootcamps and nutrition counseling, which just recently wrapped up right before Thanksgiving. I hace always had a passion to do this kind of thing, so it was awesome getting to be a part of some great journeys toward health.

I am also very excited to be in the process of starting up my own company with one of my dear friends and fellow personal trainers and dietitians, Erin Nelson. It's called "EMPower Nutrition, Inc." and we're expecting to really launch and take off in January to aid in all the New Year's resolutions :). I will keep you updated and would love all your support. We're doing everything from nutrition counseling, an online membership program to help with meals, snacks, workouts, tips, etc..., personal training and bootcamps, grocery shopping tours, pantry makeovers, and anything else we can do to help people achieve some health and fitness goals. Let me know if you have questions....I'll post our website just as soon as we get it launched!

Wally is continuing leading worship for FBC Wolfforth and Campus Crusade for Christ. It's been really a lot of fun to see him in his element....the Lord has truly gifted him with music, and the church just loves him (Who doesn't right....okay well maybe I am biased) We are really enjoying the church and have gotten involved in a small group. I am also helping teach 3-5 year olds (hilarious to say the least).

Wally's senior basketball season as a Texas Tech Red Raider kicked off in October, with the first game in November. Wreck 'Em Tech! That keeps us busy with practices, games, and traveling for sure! In pics below, you can see our neices and nephews supporting their Uncle Wally in shirts I made for them :)!

Tech played in Padre for Thanksgiving in a tournament (can't say I will miss spending holidays next year without my husband)...but I had a great time running on the beach, hanging with family, and eating some wonderful, fresh seafood!

We got our house decorated right before we left (yes before Thanksgiving, which Wally wasn't thrilled about, him being the MOST traditional person ever!) I love this time of year and wanted to spend as much time enjoying the festivities as possible! We jammed to Christmas music (if you have never heard of Paul Cardall, listen, he is incredible), which I am always so pumped to do! Also, Rob Lewandowski, Wally's best friend and teamate, and Wally, my amazing husband, surprised me with having my lights up on the houes when I got home one night ...it was so cool!

Wally participated in his final athlete talent show, which supports the Special Olympics, where he placed 3rd. He didn't want me to put up the video, because he thought he did bad, but I thought it was great, so I put it up anyway!

Well, I better wrap this thing up before it turns into a book, but I promise I will be better about keeping up.....Well, until next time, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

Enjoy the pics, they are some fun ones from this semester
