The Good Stuff

Look at these two babies.

My mom calls them "The Toddlers."

I think I will always call them "The Babies."

They LOVE water!

And being outside.

And being outside in the water!

They are the good stuff!

On Sundays, after church, I go to the gym

I'm usually one of five people there.

My brain LOVES it!

The sensory stuff is so mild and I just do my thing!

I walked on the treadmill for 60 minutes, then did Yoga all by my dang self.

Except my 44 ounce Diet Coke.

On the weekends, I always have my Diet Coke with me.

People call me "The Diet Coke Girl."

I dig it!

It's the good stuff.

Sunday, after my 12-step group, I was having a HARD time.

Hard.

Like, wanting to drive to Idaho hard.

I drove up the street from the building where group was.

I parked where I could watch the sun set.

This is what I saw.

I talked out loud to God.

I told Him that I need His help.

I told him that I was struggling.

I told Him that I can't do this by myself.

And this...

This is what I would have missed had I given in to what I wanted to do instead.

This.

THIS is the good stuff.

Workin' Out

I am back to going to the gym, but only one or two days a week right now. My body still needs to build up endurance and I am being patient with my swell body! I usually go when Jackson or Braxton is there... just in case. Yesterday, I walked on the treadmill while listening to my podcast and then did legs. I am almost positive that Jackson and his friends think I'm cheesy and crazy. I am almost positive that they'd be correct! But, I love that I get to spend time with this boy. Before this year is over, he'll be on a mission and I'll be trying to figure out how to change missionary rules so that the mama can be with the missionary for the full two years!
