Nothing Much
I don't really have much to say, contrary to what my husband believes. He is so funny. And quiet. I'm not sure how he handles me and his three girls talking so much, but he does. The only times I got in trouble in school growing up was for talking or passing notes. Anyway, I just thought I would hop on here for a few minutes but I don't have anything too terribly important to share with you.
Do you ever feel like God is up to something in your life all of the sudden? Things I'm reading and things we are talking about as a couple are all pointing to something I feel like. I'm not sure what, but I just know it's something. Marc has received some affirmation in his life recently and we just both feel that God is up to something really neat. I'm very proud of my husband and the man that he is and after hearing him speak on Sunday at our church made me even more proud and confirmed some things in his life. Many people came up to him after the service with all kinds of affirmation, comments and questions. I was SO proud of him.
Life is plugging along as usual here in Wales. We've actually had two days (not in a row) of sunny skies and it sure does make a difference! All three girls and I walked to school yesterday morning and it was 26 degrees F and so cold. We were frozen by the time we got there, but it did feel invigorating! I was hinting around to Marc that morning how cold it was, hoping he would just say, "Sure, I can be late to my meeting, don't worry about it, I'll drive the girls to school" but he never did so I decided to act like a big girl and just do it. That seems to be my life motto these days- just do it. Kind of like Nike, but I don't wear Nike shoes.
Speaking of shoes, I'm in a pretty good habit of going to the gym at 6:30am-7:30am for a workout. It's torture most days, I won't lie, but I know it's good for me. That time of day is about the only time I can go when no one "needs" me- the girls are still in bed and I don't have to have a babysitter! I'm not losing weight as rapidly as I'd like to, but I am seeing some big changes in my body so that is exciting! Like I'm seeing muscles that I thought were gone forever! And that motivates me to keep going! I recently read Made To Crave by Lysa TerKeurst and I highly recommend it. I want to crave Jesus over anything else in my life.
Addison will be two years old in a few weeks and I can hardly believe it. I told someone at church on Sunday that I honestly feel like I was just pregnant with her! I was cuddling her last night, trying to get her to sit still and I could barely hold on to her, she's grown so much! The week of her birthday is half term around here so her big sisters will be out of school for the week, I'm trying to think of something fun we can all do together that day to celebrate. Then we might have to get Chinese food from our favorite take-away place since that is what I was eating two years ago when the hospital finally called and told me they had a bed for me so that I could be induced! Ahhh, memories.
Have a great week!
