Well, still here in California. Been go go going and these past two days have been relaxing and busy.
Sunday we went to church and then took naps and then dinner, so pretty much my happy moment for the day was napping! The kids enjoyed church and it was really nice to see so many faces of people that I knew growing up. It will be fun coming here and visiting my parents and going to their ward to see people I knew in high school!
Today was a busy but good day! I dropped Joel off at his camp today and he was so excited to learn about the ocean and pirates!
Connor and I went to the chiropractor to get adjusted...always a happy moment to be relaxed and hear my back crack lol. We ran a few errands that I had needed to do before moving but just never had time for and now I am feeling FAR less stressed about those things. Then we met up at a sushi place with my friend for lunch. I miss her so much! I am SO happy we got to spend a couple hours catching up, talking about her future travels, and eating some of the most amazing Sushi I have ever had! Connor loves eating sushi as well so he was happy to dig in with us on our adventurous rolls.
I actually had 20 minutes to sit and talk on the phone with friends and David today. That was really a happy moment for me. What made it even more special is knowing I have one REAL for sure friend back in Texas so far. She called me to ask my advise and talk about our kids. We had a 30 minute discussion and made plans to get together with our boys when I get back. SUCH a happy moment to feel the friendship formed and laugh like crazy and be able to help my friend in need. I felt very blessed to have that phone chat today.
I picked Joel up from camp and we headed out for MORE food. I swear I SO need to get back on track when I get back to Texas because nothing is going to fit me when I am done here in California lol. We went to one of our favorite Tepan grill places and had a nice family time with my parents and my mom's friend who has never been to a place like that before. The boys LOVED watching the fire and the volcano ring of onions. It amazes me to watch Connor eat shrimp, mushrooms, zucchini, and noodles...I don't think I liked any of that stuff when I was little but he sure does!
After dinner Joel went home with my parents and Connor and I took a shopping trip to Target (the place I used to shop when we lived here) oh HOW I love that place. I bought some food but also did some "window" shopping for future decor in our house...there is some GOOD stuff at that place!
Well, today and yesterday were good days to be thankful. I am grateful for my little family and the love we have for one another. I am thankful for the teachings of my church and that when it comes down to it, I can put all that I have learned from my previous 365 days blog into action. If you live your life with consistent behaviors day after day, when a could-be difficult moment arises, it won't be...because the habits you have formed will have prepared you for that situation. That can be said about anything really...weight loss attempts, financial situations, and even dealing with someone you haven't seen in 2 years and were totally un prepared to see and had NO idea how you would act if you ever saw them again (not that the last thing there happened to ME today or anything ;-) ) Well readers, have a good night and blessings to you all!
