I am so ready for Spring!! This is the first week in months where we have been able to go outside and play at the park and actually be comfortable (in other words, not be freezing our bums off!) It has been so nice for the kids to get some of their energy out! We will be heading out to the park again this afternoon, making this our 4th trip out in 2 days! (That's saying a lot after 4 months of snow and bitterly cold weather!)
Since January 8, 2011 (my 27th birthday) I have been on a mission to finally lose the extra baby weight I have been carrying around, about 25 extra pounds! Yipes! Since I have started exercising 6 days a week and watching what I eat I have lost 5 pounds and a pant size and a half (I am between sizes right now!) Woot! I am so excited and LOVE it when people randomly notice and comment. But the most important wonderful thing about it is that my confidence and energy levels are WAY up and I can run around outside with the kids and have a blast without getting super tired right away! I am having so much fun with them! I am totally loving this new lifestyle! Thanks to my sister, Karena! She is getting married in August and I am matron of honor, that is what inspired this getting into shape business!
In other news, Jonathan is busy searching for a job. He graduates in early May and we are not sure what will happen next! It's a bit scary but also a true test in putting my faith in God. I have to pray all the time that God will take care of us and that I will find peace in that. Please keep us in your prayers. If anyone still checks this blog (sorry I have been doing a bad job at keeping up with posts) I will be taking lots of pictures of the kids soon and posting them!
