So.. it continues

I finally get a chance to sit down and reflect / blog and the computer is working!? what?! ok.. miracles do happen LOL

Anyway - my very last blog was Nov 3rd and it was when I finally 110% gave it all to God and came to the understanding that if I never find love again (or whatever) that I should feel happy & blessed in the love of Jesus and that HE is the ultimate bridegroom and what HE wants of me is what matters.

Little did I know that 5 days later I would be asked out by someone.. I also jokingly said "yea.. a knight in shining armor is just gonna come into the hardware store and just ask me out?! RIGHT! " WEeeelllll.. he's not a knight but he is an interesting and attractive man. He asked me out and we've been out several times since then. I'm surprised how natural things are flowing with him.. surprised at him, his morals, his principles, likes, dislikes, and etc etc..

Anyway - things are what they are. We've spent some time together and I've been enjoying his company. However, I've discovered that the time flies so fast when he and I are together.. Anyway - that's all I'm going to say about it..

So... onto everyday life.. everything's the same.. work is steady and busy. Kids are making it thru the holidays holding their grades up. Daniel did an appearance for the Veterans Day ceremony in Mifflinburg. :) SO proud!! and Lily has been doing some awesome activities w/ the Girl Scouts and such.

Weight loss is at a stand still.. pounds aren't coming off but the clothes are fitting better and better! :) which is just as good as watching that number go down! :) I still have quite a bit I want to lose but it will come in time :) I'm not worried. God has been the greatest! helping me w/ every move I make and I am so happy and blessed!!!

32 - the day after...

So - today was my kids' first day back to school. I signed in as a visitor and did a FULL circle of the upstairs & downstairs & did several flights of stairs. I was suprised that I wasn't nearly out of breath as I normally would be. 8^) I am conditioning my body to become a more fit & active person. This is SOO exciting!!! Even more exciting was the kids had a half day & both kids came home w/ a smile on their faces and feeling great about their new classes & teachers, etc.

I had a visitor today  - my friend Sarah. We were supposed to walk, but it didn't happen, except to walk to the school & back. I had a guy come out to the house (*insurance salesman*) that brought 2 of the child safe kits - that I can carry in case of *heaven forbid!* the kids were ever lost, ran away, or abducted. It's basically a description & DNA & fingerprint kit FREE that I fill out etc.. and keep in a safe place. ANYWAY - this guy was semi-cute & super funny! It was a fun & funny part of the afternoon, especially when Sarah & I had him laughing so hard he couldn't hardly make his sales pitch to me for life insurance! LOL

He left & the kids came home from school - - we all got something to eat & Sarah headed home because she's got some allergy/sinus issues going on - and I pray she's feeling better! She's got to work at o'dark thirty tomorrow and that can be such a pain to deal with - - especially when your job is to drive!!!

The rest of the evening has been QUIET! My son left early to head to Boy Scouts & Lily & I enjoyed a few t.v. shows & some snacks etc.. Then she left & I'm left alone. AGAIN. *sigh*

ANYWAY! my friend tonight in her blog expressed her inspiration about me.. when the TRUTH is that she's been an inpiration to me! She's the ultimate stay-at-home Christian mom. She has the best ideas & her blogs have always given me inspiration for my relationship w/ Christ, relationship w/ my family & my children..everything. She's is awesome!!! This is a link to her blog: Life with Lissy

It's just amazing the connections that God has linked me in friendship etc.. with people that are RIGHT for my life and the life HE wants me to lead. I'm super excited that I've gotten a few small workouts in this week and since the kids are going to be in school I can take some lengthy bike rides & really kick it up a notch this week.. AND I still have my free Zumba class to attend--coming soon! which!!! I'm super excited to do w/ my friend at Life w/ Lissy 8^)

I'll be excited for Thursday's weigh in - - hopefully I've dropped those pesky 3 lbs and I can celebrate my 50lbs loss milestone. *cross you fingers* and pray! * It's been tough w/ the cake & other yummy munchies around..
Wish me luck!!!! I've only done small workouts & I've cheated on my diet - - not too bad, but still.. it has an effect.
