A Few Key Points About My Life

1) I love working for a food company.....instant dinner without grocery shopping!

2) I have not spent one red cent on something frivilous for myself in quite a while (except for that $2.10 at Jack in the Crack, but after a puppy poops in your car....it is NOT a frivilous expense). Let me just say I am incredibly dissapointed in myself for acting like this is such a big deal! Heaven forbid I might actually save a few bucks BUT I just want to buy something. This is my new resolution, to not 'want'. Go ahead, wish me luck with that, haha

3) I have not found a good time to exercise and so I don't. I have decided I will never find a good time to exercise so I'll just have to suck it up and use the bad times (like 4:45 in the am...AHHH)

4) I love drawing floor plans. Love Love Love Love it. I will build a house one day and it will be everything I could have ever wanted. I love putting all my big fancy dreams down on paper. (Note...this doesn't go very well with #2)

5) No matter how grouchy, rude, ungrateful, snotty, and unkind I am (and trust me, sometimes I am) I am continually blessed by my Heavenly Father. His hand is unwavering in my life and is the only constant in which I have come to place my reliance. Even though I may feel like being the opposite I cannot deny that I am continually thankful and amazed at the blessings Tyler and I are given.

Please...get me off my keester!

This is what I found when I came home from work on Tuesday

Tyler was at cub scouts when I got home that evening, but I found this note perched on the pole of our stair banister. Tyler and I are going to run at least two times a week (he's convinced we'll go every other day, but I refuse to be so optimistic) SO...we went Tuesday, we went Thursday, and I am so proud of us!

I have not ran more than maybe a jaunt to the mailbox in over 4 years due to old shin fractures that I am terrified will return, but I have decided to try and build up my muscles, bones, and guts, and give it a try once again. Tuesday we ran about 0.5 a mile followed by some serious stretching and a 1.5 mile walk. Tyler would take Ruby and run to the corner and come back to meet me so he got some more mileage in. Thursday I ran about 0.75 of a mile and walked the rest of our 2 mile journey.

I am so thankful that Tyler is patient and doesn't make fun of me...because trust me...I would be easy to make fun of. It is so nice to have that time together and really do something and work for something together.
