This and That

I can't say this blog has been very inspiring lately. It is rather un-interesting to tell the truth. At the moment, my life is centered around working, managing our house, being a mom, and last... being a wife (that part needs to change, as in I need to make it more of a priority!)

Anyway - Here is my journal entry update. It's a little of this and a little of that.

• After being rather reclusive between Christmas and New Year's we had a social weekend. We went to pizza with the Lyons of Friday, and had friends to dinner on Saturday.
• I went to visit new baby Luke Braid on Saturday morning. Angie, Jess and I brought new mom (for the 2nd time around) Ms. Hagel Braid brunch for her family.
• Marly and Dean are exactly what you expect for their age (nearly 4) - fun, engaging, able to reason, etc. They play and play with each other.
• I have been having a lot of fun playing Chicky Boom with Marly and Dean. It is a balancing game. Each time they remove a piece, they are sooo cautious, and hold their breath.
• We painted our bedroom this weekend. Okay... I purchased the paint and Mark put in the labor. It will get a second coat this week. It went from chocolate brown and taupe to a torquise blue color with a grey undertone.
• Sunday School started back up yesterday.
• I am feeling challenged by my new job and am so very happy with my career change.
• Mark is busy, busy at the 'Bou. He is clearly at the right place.
• We are dealing with roofing issues, compounded by ice dams. We will be resolving these issues in the spring.
• Marly and Dean started community ed gymnastics last Monday. They love it.
• Marly and Dean wrapped up 2 sessions of swimming lessons at the YMCA before Christmas.
• I need to loss 10 pounds. I have no motivation to do that.
• I want to start working out again, but don't know when that fits into my life.
