I tried out my workout DVD for the first time tonight.  Pretty legit actually.  I think it will give me something to do until I can either get back to the gym or start running when the weather isn't so..blah.  I was definitely breathing hard, sweating a little, and my muscles are sore...so that's something right?  Now if I can stop eating everything I see, I'll be in good shape (figuratively).  

Things have been pretty lazy around here.  Ian is back to work after his week long vacation.  Friday we find out what his next year's schedule would be.  I am always anxious and excited during shift bid.  It's a pretty big deal as it will effect the next year of our lives.  Luckily, he has enough seniority that he will probably never have to do midnights again but not enough to score a day shift, so it shouldn't be that big of a change, but we will see.  A girl can dream.  

 Today, Ian went and picked up my furniture I discussed in the previous post, and surprised me with.....
my chair!!!!! Sorry the picture is blurry.  But he surprised me with a chair that I had pointed out when we went shopping there together.  Major props for paying attention.  Check out that sweet Christmas tree and decorations we scored off CL for $20.  

Ohhhh ya.  Haley has reached a stage that I am not so sure I am excited about.  Separation anxiety.  At first I was secretly loving it because she actually notices us, but now it breaks my heart.  Every time Ian walks out of the room, she will start fussing.  If she is playing on the floor and I walk into another room to attend to something else, she starts fussing.  Fun times.  She is starting to slowly army crawl, usually backwards.  It is so stinking cute. 

I was surfing Facebook and found the following:
One of my teammates posted this on FB...made me smile.  Fall 2011 Rec League Champs
It is almost sad and pathetic how proud I am.

Well. That is all for today....so much for folding laundry.  I guess that will wait for another day.

Fruit & Root Connection: Tangled Up

Certainly, I've expressed my aversion to hyper-spiritualized language before. It often feels contrived, lacking authenticity—a facade of piety. Perhaps it's projection. Maybe jealousy. Or it could stem from a sense of disillusionment with the Christian community. But every so often, amidst the noise, a truth resonates deeply. "There is a root and fruit connection between heart and behavior. People and situations do not determine our behavior; these things provide an occasion where our behavior reveals our hearts." - Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands I've been navigating through my anger, confronting myself in the mirror. What does this anger unveil about my own heart? Surely, they aren't as enraged with me. In fact, they probably don't spare me a second thought. If anything, they—as sincerely as they can muster—bemoan my status as an apostate. So pitiful. My fruit is anger. And too often, I'm tempted to point fingers elsewhere as the source of my...

Should I Stay or Should I Go

At the time, deciding to leave felt like the most agonizing part of the whole ordeal. In hindsight, a few years of prayer journals were filled with distressing agony over desiring direction and reconciliation.  So much turmoil and emotional pain all the time. But we were constantly told that was to be expected. Hard was good. Hard truths. And iron sharpening iron. But in reality, We were all enduring death by a thousand paper-cuts. In reality, it was spiritual abuse.  In July of 2022, I sat in a lawn chair in California. It felt like a million miles from home.  We had been traveling the US, and hadn’t been home in weeks. I sat there, eating my bowl of chili.  As wonderful as the trip has been, I started to miss home. In my reflections. I counted my blessings. Home was good. Except one thing, I had a sense of dread when I thought about church. My chest would go tight. And my body felt shaky. I craved Jesus. I craved worship. I craved devotion. Being in God’s creation,...

If Your Happy and You Know it Clap Your Hands....

Alright y'all, I need to post an actual blog post.  It's been awhile.I guess I have said " writers block".  Everytime I've sat down to blog, I've gotten this nasty attitude, like I just want to rant and complain.  I'm not a fan of giving a bad mood more than it deserves or letting people get on my nerves enough that it bleeds in my blog in the most passive-aggressive way possible.  So I won't go there this time.  Focusing on what I'm thankful for has been such a great practice, and has helped me avoid the above.  So here goes nothing.....I'll update a little bit on everthing I suppose.... Finally, life is beginning to slow down.I am so appreciative of the fact that the moving/settling in process is over ( only to do it all again in T minus 5 months....) In theory, there should be a big hole where our next house will be soon. For some reason I doubt that they will break ground this week, but I would be happy if they did...I'm stressed and ...
