Where Do I Start?

Goodness gracious! I have missed blogging the past week! I'm so happy to have our computer fixed - thanks babe! There has been so much going on that I'm not really too sure of where to begin.

I'm still walking with my sweet friend, Crystal, three mornings a week. We are walking about 2.5 miles and although it is really early to be up, I'm loving being back into some exercise after finishing boot camp. Speaking of boot camp, I just got my "graduate" shirt in the mail this week, and I plan on wearing it with pride! I worked hard for that t-shirt!:) This coming Saturday, Crystal and I are walking in the Walf for Life here. Want to sponsor me? We are excited about it - it is a great way to stand up for what you believe in and get some exercise. I haven't posted much about my weight loss on here because I feel kind of weird about it, but I have had several people comment about it to me lately, so I'll just tell you. I've lost 45 lbs, I'm down three pant sizes, and one shirt size. I'm very proud of myself and hope to keep going with it. Everybody seems to be on the adventure to lose weight right now - a sure sign that summer is coming!

We are in the full swing of the baseball season. Next week we will be at the ball field at least four nights for games. Kayla had a game tonight and they just got spanked - and I do mean spanked! They lost 12-1. It was not pretty. We have played this team once before and they stomped us then too. Their coach is, um, well, not so great. I haven't figured him out yet. He seems to be very encouraging to the girls but not quite so considerate in how he plays. Oh well - you can't win them all I guess! Tyler starts his games next week. Have I told ya'll how cute he looks in his baseball pants? It cracks me up!

We have made it over the slump of cut hours at Craig's job. God is so good - He provided just what we needed! He is back on a full 40 hours! I'm working three days a week and Shannon has been picking Tyler up from K4 for me so that I can get most of my hours in. I've got my babysitter lined up for summer and I will work about 20 hours a week through the summer and then come fall I'll be doing 24 hours a week. That will be about perfect for me. I'll work four days a week and then have one day for errands and helping at school and such. Next month (May) will be my last month of doing Graceful Designs. It is kind of sad, but I also know that this is what God would have me to do. There are not enough hours in my life to work for Bud, enjoy my family, take care of my home and family, and do Graceful Designs too. Rock on Holly - I hope it takes off for you!

I have pictures to post of softball/baseball and the kid's choir programs from last night. More post are coming soon, I hope...
