Next Blog

I've had a little time on my hands at work lately and I was looking through some blogs. I started clicking through the next blog icon at the top of the blogs. It is amazing all the different things people blog about and what you can find. There are many that are political and some like mine that just talk about family life. I came across one from a girl in New York who is blogging about her affair with an older married man. She's in her mid 20's and has a boyfriend, but she cheats because she can. See this is why I like to remain in my little bubble where it's safe and ignore the rest of the world.

Happy Valentines Day!!!

You know I think that I love coming to work because it's so quiet here. I'm here a lot by myself and even when the Pastors are here they're in their offices and I don't see them much. I do have a nice view outside from my office too which just helps it feel more peaceful. At home there is usually a TV on and at least one child running up and down the hall playing something. Abbie and Kaleb have taken to beating up on each other. Abbie seems to be the one who is always getting hurt. Kaleb isn't taller than her but he's bigger. Abbie doesn't seem to mind getting hurt though because she keeps play fighting with him.
Kaleb was mad at me for some reason and was having a fit on the floor and then he was fine and I was done talking to him and he looked so cute I made him stay like that so I could get his picture. He loves having his picture taken so he can see what it looks like on the camera.
We had Kaleb and Sophia dedicated this past Sunday. My sister Stephanie had her little (well he's not so little) boy dedicated also. This was about the best picture out of the 6 we took after church. Kaleb did really well. He stood up there with us and held my hand and smiled the whole time. Justin was holding Sophia and he was standing next to my sister who was holding her little boy Gunner. Sophia decided she liked rubbing Gunner's head while we were up there and everyone got a kick out of that.

I turned 29 last week. It has been a little weird for me. To me 29 seems so much older than 30. I don't really care that I'll be 30 next year but for some reason I am having a hard time with 29. I really don't feel like I'm that old. I've usually been one of the younger ones in my group of friends, but now I'm in the middle. I have friends in their early to mid 30's and friends in their 20's. I guess I really don't know where I fit in that group right now. I mean I know I'm in the middle but I feel like I'm in limbo in between something. Well to update those who care I have lost 11.2 pounds in the last 6 weeks. I'm very happy with that. I haven't taken any weird pills like my sister and I'm not starving myself. I've changed a lot of the things that I eat and have made better choices when we go out. I've cut out a lot of fast food which is saving us money too. Things are going well.

My husband has given me two mushy cards in the last week. One for my birthday and one today for Valentines Day. Usually he gets me funny ones, but it's nice to get a mushy one on occassion. I know he loves me though no matter what kind of card he gives me. He's my best friend. He's seen me at my worst and at my best. There is no other man in the world that I would want to spend my life with.
