Well its now fading but here is my 4" bruise on the back of my arm. I was carrying Beck and dogged a kid, but bumped into the corner of a wall...and bruised. Some days I look beat up....its not Jeff, just bad genes. Jeff laughs at my legs after every move because they have.bruise polka dots.
Needless to say it has been a bit uncomfortable the last few days. We knew the ac was having problems the first week we got here. We put a work order in...but it got lost. So I called again today and they brought us a portable ac unit. Tomorrow morning they will come to work on th ac. In the mean time this is.where the kids are hanging out.
Last summer when we were here there were no Baby Beck's. When we moved out here we found that in Jan a baby was born named Beckett and in late March a bay boy named Beck. There is also 4-5 babies that were born around Beck's time... its fun to see so many babies all around the same age but so different.
...larger than life. These are for the Activity Day leaders my partner and I are replacing. This will be a fun calling!...not to mention, my partner Jena is pretty cool!
... picked up this solid beauty for $15. Original price was over $150 :) Ignore the tv and computers for now it will have to do....45 days till we close on the house.... were not counting or anything. :)
Tonight was beautiful, but at dinner I realized that I had forgotten Beck's bottle. Now we have a new promotional photo for Camelback water bottles and Crystal Lite.
No it want the brownies or the Elders but our investigator. She is so cool and I think I just made a good friend.
Whats up next? A 2nd meeting with the elders and were having it at a park so the kids can play while we grill some hamburgers.
This individual is so interesting and has had an awesome LDS friend that has been guiding her to this point in her life. I've never sat in on a real discussion before...so cool and the spirit was so strong.
The gospel rocks! I'm glad Jeff is the ward mission leader hopefully we will have more experiences like this!
.... today...and yesterday...a migraine. This morning I got up and fed Beck but he fell asleep so I left him on the couch and went to lay back down. A while later he started to scream, poor he squirmed and rolled off the couch. I guess that means we have to now keep him buckled in the swing or in his crib while sleeping.
This idea came from Princess Hairstyles. I kept the top 3 and the bottom 3 just curled the hair ( really well! ) Tomorrow we will do a similar version for church.
Jeff's phone ends on the 18. I'm not texting anymore and my # has changed. Email me to get it.
Now Crane should be happy, this officially states that Jeff's degree was confired.
I paid $25 instead of the retail $195 for all of this!
All the onesies are for Beck till he is 24 months. I got 7 swaddlers for baby gifts as well as two hat sets, 2 blankets and a toy...and to think I only went down that isle for q-tips.
....grandparents where here every night while I am preparing dinner. We will be sad to see them go tomorrow.
This morning I got up to workout at 5:45 but then realized that in our apartment complex there is a bedroom below our living room so I'll work out after the kids breakfast. Since I was up I decided to read next Sundays RS lesson. I've been struggling with boredom when writing in my journal and scripture reading so recently I modified things.
I started journaling and reading by note taking with colors and pictures. I am finding that it keeps.me engaged and it makes me enjoy re reading past entries. I note take in my journal now any time I am reading the scriptures, a lesson or my daily thoughts...its really helped. I can honestly say its also increased my daily enthusiasm for these things.
So the RS lesson was Richard G Scott's "How to obtain personal revelation and inspiration for your daily life." I loved it!!!
... and I'm not complaining. Beck slept from 10:30-5:30 which was wonderful. I fed him.and then he spit up all over me so after cleaning up I was wide wake. This.gave me.a chance to read tomorrow's Sunday school lesson and write in my journal. I now feel ready mentally to face the day... even better, my 5 day migraine appears to be finally gone. Maybe now I can be more patient and cheerful with my family.
Cant eat this after Monday...and its my birthday so we cut into this a few days early! Kids can have some tomorrow...its heavenly!
We have an awesome library here with a great evening kids dept. They even have a a huge infant play room. So the oldest 4 in the family got library cards today and then proceeded to walk out with alot of books! I love it!!!
In the past 8 years I've gone but from (total honesty here) 165-230 lbs. I really want to change that so when I was invited to join a workout group I jumped on it. We have a good coach and each of us are doing this from home.
I have a goal that by next year at this time when I am turning 30 to be in much better shape. So we star on Monday the 21 and end Aug 21....this wont be easy.
1. Work out 5-6 days a week. 3 of these workouts being Insanity.
2. Eat 1700 cal a day and lots of H2O. Eating every 2-3 hours.
3. Blog on our groups page often.
4. Record everything on MyFitnessPal.com
5. Wake up at 5:45, Bed at 10
Wish me luck, ask how its going. I hope by honestly bogging about this I will feel more accountable.
If Beck falls asleep soon then maybe we can too. We are now in St. Louis...this road trip is almost done.
