Now, I am a single mom, who owns her own business, is in school full time, raising two growing, rowdy, boys, I still wants to get my book published but I need to find time. I am half way through my final edit but I don't have a lot of time to sit down and do it right now. So instead of this blog being just about my book world, I'm going to open it up to my everyday world, because my poor reading and writing world have been put on the back burner for now. Every night I look forward to reading something that isn't work or school related. I love bed time, the excitement to be able to travel into the magical world of imagination gives me a reason to stop and have me time. But amazing as it sounds, I normally wake up in the morning with the lights on, the book still in my hand and the realization that I only got a couple pages in. I think I hear a beach, a lounge chair, and a cocktail calling my name very soon; and of course, the stack of books I have sitting on my night stand begging to be read.
Over the last two-three years I have been trying to figure out who Kristie really is. My kids have always been my passion and my life, but I needed to find me in order to be the best mom and role model I could be. What I have found is, I am in love with being a businesswoman. I am by no means amazing at it, yet, but I work hard everyday and learn everyday because I do plan on taking over the world. Everybody needs a little Kristie in their life and that is just what I plan on giving. My business has become my new husband. There are times where I want to kill him, strangle him for the stress that he causes but then I want to jump up and down, and hug him for the amazing things that have been happening. It is crazy to see the growth over the last two years. We have a mascot now, that makes me smile every time I see him. I LOVE him like he is one of my children, I named him Getup. We are coming up with new classes and ideas everyday and I cant wait to see if they will be successful or not. We now have two places that we are teaching our classes at Tumbleweed Recreation Center in Chandler, Az and Spectrum Community Center in Gilbert, Az. I feel so blessed to have both of these two locations supporting what we do at Lets Get Up and Move, and am honored to teach classes at their facilities. Hopefully within a couple of months I can get a website up so we can market to the whole valley and get classes going in every city. That is my goal anyway. But for right now we are just on Facebook. Like us, get to know us, and grow with us. www.facebook.com/LetsGetUpandMove

I don't want to introduce Kristie to the world through my business, Lets Get Up and Move, only. I still plan one finishing my book and have it be in e-book format this summer. I have a couple of outlines for other books I want to write. But the main way I want to leave my mark on this world is through my children. They are amazing young men and I can't wait to see the men they are going to become. But for now, I have Business Management homework to do. Good night world, see you blurry eyed in the morning.
