I'm sitting here watching Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition trying to find my motivation and thinking about my weekend and trying to get back on track. I haven't been working out lately and my eating hasn't been what it should. The result? Weight gain, energy loss and bad attitude! I know this is the result, yet every time I seem to fall back on this track and regret it EVERY TIME!!! Well tomorrow starts with getting back on track...again! Ugh. Maybe I can find the happy medium soon and not be on one extreme side or the other. I'm working on finding that spot...
Saturday Josh, Garrett and I took it easy because we had some friends from college come with their two kids for a play date. We went to the pool and then went to Meet the Pirates. This is an event every year where you get to go out and meet all the football players for ECU. We go out there for the bouncy castles! Ha! It sure helps to get their energy out. Here are a few pictures from our play date. We look forward to the next one:
Jack, Mary Walter, Garrett
Silly faces

Garrett's turn
Love that they had such fun together!
Dear Lord, thank goodness this wasn't loaded :-)
towards the end of the night...check out the sweat and sleepy eyes.
I did want to share one haha story from the day. I think I tell G twice a day (at least) to get his fingers out of his nose. The first thing he told them when he got in the car was "Do you know what I like to do that my mommy doesn't like me to do? Pick my nose". Bless him. Before hello or anything! He thinks I can't see him if he turns his head when he does it and jumps out of his skin when I bust him. It's gotten pretty funny now because he will tell me before I say anything "I'm not picking mommy". ha
Today we went to my parents house and had dinner with my parents, brother and sister in law. It was such a nice and relaxing evening. Josh and I are so blessed to have both of our families here in town with us. It is so nice to have them a phone call away!
This weekend also had some sad news. I had a classmate pass away on Saturday that had been battling Multiple Sclerosis since high school. Her name was Haley and she put up such an amazing fight. What stood out most to me about Haley was her amazing relationship she had with the Lord. She was such an inspiration with everything that she had going on with her illness she had such a positive attitude. They are having a celebration for life on Tuesday that I plan on attending.
I also love finding new music and have a dear friend Jamie who introduces me to the best stuff. Enjoy this by Kari Jobe:
I hope that you have a great week!
Oh no, I didn't know about Haley (I've been on vacation and not on the internet for over a week.) She is such an incredible inspiration. I will be praying for her family.
I love the pictures of Garrett and his friend holding hands. That is so sweet!!
