Awesomest Things Happen in {Three}

{one}Through its annual Environmental Excellence Awards, my company recognizes employees and teams that have shown outstanding leadership in fulfilling TVA’s environmental policies and principles. Today we received the Environmental Excellence of the Year Award for Environmental Protection and Stewardship. Ain't it pretty? I think I am going to get it framed. I am proud of this as is my team. This type of team award is pretty rare evidently.

{two}I am always on a quest to expand my recreation skill set as well as find opportunities to tone my muscles and lose some inches. Today I got word that I will become certified through my gym to become a step instructor. Yay. My certification is the first weekend in February. In the meantime, I will prepare by increasing the intensity of my workouts and practice getting coordinated, as in counting during the workout. One and two and three and four. To the left. One and two and three and four. Now to the right. This also means I have to become proficient at plank-style and military push-ups, can't do the wimpy ones anymore. I have a lot of work to do on that front.
