Aaric lost his first tooth!!!

Aaric lost his first tooth last night. He was pretty excited about the tooth fairy coming to visit. She brought him 4 quarters !! Unfortunately, he misplaced them very shortly after he awoke this morning. It'll be ok because he has another loose tooth..The tooth fairy is going to be broke!!!

Weight Watchers Anyone?

This somehow feels like a classified add but I'll give it a shot anyway. I have been working out with a personal trainer 3 days a week for the past couple of months. Darren (my trainer) is a great trainer but he is pretty tough. It's one of those weird love/hate relationships. I love working out with him but some days I hate him while I'm there. I think you all know what I'm trying to say. I am feeling stronger and I am losing some inches but I am certainly not losing any weight. I am very committed to my 5 days a week at the gym but I haven't been very committed to eating well. I'm good for a few days and then it all goes out the window. The other day Darren had the talk with me about eating better. He's right!! His personal opinion is that strict diets don't work. So I have done the Weight Watcher thing before and have been successful. It's just hard for me to do it alone. It's hard to make to those meetings without any accountability. Here comes my classified add. Is anyone interested in joining Weight Watchers with me? I'm pretty flexible about dates and times. There are meetings every day of the week. I'll take 1 person, 2 people, or 20 people. The more the merrier. So if anyone wants to do this with me let me know.

A Weekend to Remember

We spent this past weekend in Sacramento at a marriage seminar called Weekend to Remember. What an awesome experience that I would recommend to every married or engaged couple. Your relationship can benefit from this, even if it is not troubled.
I haven't blogged in a very long time. It wasn't that I lost interest, it was that I haven't had time. I haven't even had the time to peek at anyone else's thoughts on thier blogs. One thing that I really took away from this weekend is that I need to make the time for my God, my husband, and my kids. I find that even though I don't have a job to go to everyday, I manage to stay very busy all day long. By making my family the priority my house may not be as clean, I may not be able to help others as much, and I may not be able to take on so many projects. But I guess I've realized (FINALLY) that's OK!! What other's think about my performance doesn't matter. What matters is that I have a great relationship with Jesus and that I have a great relationship with my husband and kids. Those things need to come first and not when I have the time. I don't need to wear myself out with other things so that I am short and grouchy to those I live with.
I just want you all to know that I have missed reading your thoughts and sharing mine. I'm going to put the blogging higher on my list too. I love you all!!
