I'm Ready to Run!

I wish! I'm trying really hard to make healthier decisions for me and my family. Less junk, more nutritional foods, more exercise.........I've been going to Zumba twice a week at our local gym. It's so much fun! If you have a place near you that offers Zumba classes....go! But, I want my husband to work out with me. I want that to be something we enjoy doing together. What better way than to run a 5k together?

I've run a few 5ks in my lifetime. I didn't really train for any of them, though. I just did them to be doing them, and never finished in a place I'd be willing to brag about. That's all about to change! I am going to like..........make that love........... running before this is over! We did our first 3.1 mile route this evening. It was hard. Very, very hard! Robert did a whole lot better than I thought he would. I didn't think he had it in him, but he made me proud! He even said he thought he wanted to do it again tomorrow! (Who are you and what have you done with my husband?)

I just HAVE to stay motivated. I still have baby weight to lose!

Speaking of babies. Brantley is almost crawling. He will get up on all fours and just rock and rock! It's so sweet, but I know he is about to be into everything! It will be a whole new world for all of us!

Sunday Letters

Dear Brodyman,

You did such a great job helping me in the flowerbeds today! You truly are the sweetest little man, and I don't know where I'd be without you!

Yesterday we went to Bryant's birthday party, and he had a blow-up slide! I'm talkin' one of the really big inflatable slides that you have to climb up one side and slide down the other. I knew you would be afraid, and you were. You would climb up the first two stairs, and then come back over to me. Finally, after watching all of the fun that others were having on the slide, you gave it a try. What a blast you had after that! I loved watching the 'boy' come out in you as you rough-housed with your little friends.

Dear Brantley,

You helped me in the flowerbeds today, too! Actually, you just sat in your jumperoo and watched me & Brodyman. It was the cutest thing: You would watch and follow every single car that passed our house.

You are so much more alert lately, and able to lunge for things that you want. I can't believe how fast time is flying!

Letters are short tonight. I've been sewing for a few hours, and it's supposed to be severely stormy here tomorrow. Night all!
