Real thrilling title- eh? LOL Nothing inspiring came to mind and in order to encompass all that my post may entail, "Today" fit the bill. I am sure there won't be any calls from major book labels asking for my input when they name their next series ;)
The kids and I had a great morning at Heather's house. We were able to be outside for a short while (with a heat index of over 100, a short while feels like eternity) and play a bit on their cool inflatable water slide. Addie was a bit nervous so she stayed back in the swing- but still enjoyed her time there.
I also had my first "official" picture proofing session and order placed- so totally thrilled that my dreams are coming alive. It is hard to understand until you have worked hard at something and then were able to watch it blossom- it is amazing to say the least :) I simply can not wait to receive the prints back from the lab- I have my test prints in hand but this somehow feels so different and so, so well exciting! :)
This evening was nite three of our "fiesta" VBS at our church. Micah is enjoying his time in the preschool class (so hard to believe that he is old enough to be in a class now). Addie has gotten a lot of "one on one" time with the nursery workers- lol- she hasn't complained though ;) Tim and I are having a great time with the youth- tonite they went "Christmas caroling" complete with sleds, snowsuits, and various other cold weather gear. Yes- they are crazy!
Tomorrow I am have lots of odds and ends to do- so I think a day fully spent at home is in order. I need to wrap up some photography things, do laundry, pay bills, clean, organize and various other odds and ends. I am hoping it is a bit cooler tomorrow- I would love to go out "jog/ walking" again tomorrow. Yesterday Tim and I took the kids out and we walked a bit over 2 miles and then I jogged a bit over a half mile. Yes- it was unbearably hot, but we still had fun. I really need to get myself focused and work at staying in shape. I am tired of feeling blah about how I look- so it is time I take control and work more at it. I am thinking of making it my 21 Day Challenge. (21 days because that is what it takes to make something a habit :) ) Along with the "getting fit" goal, I am also working towards spending more time in study of the woman God wants me to be. I am reading an awesome book and just learning so much about myself and all that God has in store for me if I am willing to let go and let Him take control. That is really hard for me, really really hard. I am a very "in control" person who feels that I always know what is best for myself and won't allow that control to be relinquished. We will see where these next 21 days will take me- it should be a fun journey at the very least :)
With that said, here is my first challenge page for the 21 days and a few pictures from today I thought would be fun to share. I hope you enjoy them as much as I myself do :) Until next time,
