7-12-10 Counting My Blessings

My Tae Bo DVDS finally came today. So I did my first workout. I also started counting calories and keeping a food log today. There has to be some reason that I can't lose weight. I'm exercising and eating healthy but I'm going to figure this thing out. One day I will lose 40 lbs. Hopefully that will be this year.

Jacob and I are going to our friend Amanda's tonight for a get together with our friends. It should be a fun time. I think we're just hot tubbing and playing games. In a couple weeks we're going to go to the Edgel's condo in Beaver with my family for a a weekend getaway. I'm way excited because we don't often do stuff like that with my family. Bec and Jud are going to try and go too. My parents are in for sure. It's also Pioneer Days that weekend and Beaver will have a fireworks show that I'm way excited about. Should be a blast!

Mondays are always kinda boring around here. Laundry and cleaning. We didn't do much of anything at all. Jacob will be home from work in an hour, and I'll start dinner soon. There's never enough time in the day. I can't wait for Teagan to get a little bit older so that he's more independent of his mama. It's hard to do anything when he's awake, and I usually have to work out and shower while he's sleeping, which takes up his whole nap time.

Jacob and I were talking last night about our plans for the future. Things like him getting a better job, us moving out of his parents' house and into our own place. It's easy to feel like "I'll be happy when we finally . . ." But I remembered that each night I can lay down my head knowing that my husband is devoted to the Lord, devoted to me, and devoted to providing the boys with a righteous example. I once had beautiful home and a fancy car, but my husband wasn't devoted to me or the Lord. I never once cared about any of those material things when I was losing Adam. I just wanted my family together and happy. And even though it didn't work out like I thought it would then, I have exactly what I want with someone who wants family togetherness too. Life is good. And Jacob is my sweetheart. Which makes being married REALLY good.
