It's been a while...again

Hopefully, I can keep up a little more these days. I should be mopping my kitchen floor right now but it should only take me about 30 minutes if I "turbo" vacuum and mop. Another great way to burn some more calories.

Since the last blog, Sam's team lost their first play off game. I won't go into detail but it was a heart breaker after they play so hard all night long. We all cried but are releived it's finally over. His leg should get to heal completely while we wait for track to start.

Grace, Jessie, and Mike, are all busy rehearsing their play at the Public Theatre. Opening night is Nov. 29th and I plan to be in the front row. Grace was sick three days last week with a pretty good sinus infection with fever and everything. I am hoping she'll get caught up during Thanksgiving break.

Speaking of Thanksgiving, we are headed to our friends, the Jones'. We had planned on having Scott and the kids over but my friend, Virginia, invited us all out since it was only going to be her and her parents. Now, the parents aren't even going to be there so it will be 5 adults and 10 kids. It is supposed to rain but I hope to get the kids outside for alittle running around. We were going to go to Myrtle Beach to see my brother and his family but since we have a big trip to Orlando planned next month (Christmas at Disneyland-courtesy of Mike's parents) we felt we should try to save as many pennies as we could for that trip.

With the busyness of life, we don't get to hang out with people hardlya t all anymore and I am really looking froward to just "being" with people and not just passing by them, you know?

Anyway, I am excited about Personal Training in January and I am getting my Advanced Pilates certification in January as well. I am going to need to back off The Body SHop because I feel pulled in too many different directions and I just have to streamline my head. I want to hang onto it so that I can but the products we use, but not as a source of income.

We had a great service yesterday at church and it was a great reminder of keeping focused on the purpose of living a "missional life". We had a talk with the kids last night about being "missional" as they go to school each day, enter college, get jobs, etc. Not sure how much sunk in, but I told them that we would probably have this talk many more times before they leave the house. I know that I NEED to be reminded periodically, too.

Okay, so the kitchen floor needs to get done NOW. Blessings!
