Day 363

Wow, three more posts.  I am really amazed right now.  I feel like I accomplished something really big.  And I did, but I am still amazed that I have blogged for a whole year, that the year is almost up, and that my journey to the end of the blog is almost done as well!

I woke up this morning and headed to the gym.  My arm is getting stronger and stronger every day.  I am determined to lose the weight and get back in shape.  Being in bed for the last year has made many of my body parts jiggly and bigger than they were a year ago, but now is the time for me to do something about it.  I feel like my arm is almost healed and that there are not too many unexpected surgeries in my future...hopefully none, but you know, they didn't take my appendix out last year when I asked them to so never say never lol.

I worked really hard at the gym and Connor and Joel had a great time playing in the kid's gym.  Joel was so cute.  He told me he had a play date at the gym with his "gym friend."  When I asked what his name is Joel said to me, "Mom, I don't KNOW what his name is!  You have to play with a person more than 3 times to learn their name."  Oh how true that is lol.  Sometimes I can know someone for months and still forget their name!

After the gym, we came home and cleaned up and then we went to my dad's work.  The boys had so much fun playing with their nanny from last year.  We ordered lunch and ate, then the boys watched a movie and I did paperwork with my mom and her friend, Alice.  It was a great time and I am so thankful that we have an air conditioned place for the boys to play!  They love visiting their Grand-dad so much!  Couldn't POSSIBLY be because he gives them cookies all the time!

We came home late this afternoon and Connor and I took a nap.  I feel so bad for all of the times when I was little that I didn't want to take a nap.  I take it back!  I want all of the naps I missed as a kid!  Nap time was great and it gave me a chance to get my energy back.  We had a nice dinner together as a family and then we met up with our neighbors.  Joel and his friend and the two dads did soccer practice with the boys while Connor played with all of us and Ginger played with our neighbor's dog, Oliver, and I talked with the mom neighbor!  We were out there for over an hour and it was such a great time!  I am so thankful we have neighbors nearby to hang out with and that Joel can practice his soccer skills in between soccer practice and games.  Very soon I will be a soccer mom!  I am still not sure how I feel about that, but I am all in nonetheless because it is what Joel wants to do this year and I want to show him I am behind him 100 percent in all that he does in life!

Well, it is my last Tuesday of blogging.  Very soon, I will be able to go and work at the Family History Library on Tuesday nights once more.  It has been so long and I miss it so much, but I got an email saying my spot on Tuesdays is waiting for me!  I am so thankful to have the chance to do some serious genealogy research again soon!  Today was a great day all around.  My two little ones went potty a lot where they were SUPPOSED to go today.  What a feeling of relief that was LOL!  Have a great night and just two more blogs to go!
