{Jonah and my Dad}

Tomorrow marks the 62nd Birthday of my wonderful Dad if he was still here today.

I think of him every day. He has been gone for 8 1/2 years now. It makes me sad that he couldn't be here to see my kids grow up and be here for their milestone's.

I'm not trying to be depressing or anything. I just miss him. I'm still glad I have my Mom around to be there for those things. She is fabulous!

Jonah will be 12 this coming Sunday. I am almost 37 and it is weird to think about how we thought as youth. The parents always seemed really OLD to us. Now I'm that parent. (I'm not THAT old.) I also remember thinking how slow time seemed to go. Not anymore.

Jonah is such a good boy. I can't believe he will be 12 so soon! He is a good example to his dad and I. He is eager to learn and be close to his Heavenly Father too.

He will be a Deacon. Crazy. Where does the time go?

Anyway, I'm proud to be his mom and friend.

Happy Birthday Dad and Jonah!

Working Out

So, I have found that I don't workout consistently unless I find people to go with. If I know someone is counting on me to pick them up or whatever, I will go! I have been really good about working out at least 4 times a week and sometimes 6. Crazy me, huh? I joined my local rec center and I have been going at 5:30am. It is busy at 5:30am! I'm happy to have a variety of things to do there though. I can even swim! Yay for me!

Now I just need to figure out my eating and I might lose weight!!! Ha!

My "workout buddies" and I decided to meet and have a meal idea swap so I have ideas of what they are eating. My "workout buddies" are doing great and losing weight.

I need this!! I feel good, besides my shin splints, and I want so badly to be healthy and not die at a young age like my dad did.

Anyway, those are my thoughts today. I need to be better about writing things down more often. I haven't been on this blog in months!

PS- I have great kids! I love them!
