i am going to put this in writing, because if i don't i know you won't believe it..........................

i have to put this in writing, so you will believe it. i am now jogging. yes, don't fall off your chair, i am jogging. it hurts like ************, but i am doing it. i have been, slogging, as one of my teacher friends calls it, for a month. since we got back from christmas vacation, i have lost 12 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am also a member of weight watchers on line. it is really working for me, since i never know when david is going to be home. you may ask what lead to this insanity. well, there are many reasons. one we are going to disney world this summer. it is so humid there, carry an extra 40 pounds around doesn't sound appealing to me. and i am tired of huritng when i get out of bed in the morning. no i don't need a new bed, just a new body. and i am just tired of being so tired all of the time.

i also have a lot of extra time on my hands during the weekend, so i have taken up this activity as a hobby. well, ok, so it is not your typical hobby, but the benefits are great. i feel so good when i am doing it. it's afterward that i hurt. i have my ipod, with my favorite music, and i just go. we don't have church on sunday nights, so i jog both sat. and sun.

at first i walked more than i jogged, but now it is almost even. i have a track about two miles around my neighborhood. the girls go with me on their bikes and scooters. i think i wore bekah out today.

sorry for the delay, i had to take care of some personal buiness!!! anyway, i was just wondering, have you ever been cold and just put on the most perfect pj's. well i just did. they are like little tiny messaging fingers all over your body. they just feel so good and comfy. and then you sit on the couch to type on your computer and you cover up with the most perfect blanket. now that's awesome.

well hannah and bekah are doing great. hannah has really adjusted to the larger school. her grades are now back up to where they really should be. i am so proud of her. bekah is doing great. she is making great grades.

hannah will be playing spring volleyball. she also signed up for her electives for middle school this week. wow!!!!!!!!! where had the time gone. she is going to do pre-ap LAR language arts. she is also going to play in the orchestra for her elective. she wants to play the violin.

in fifth grade many of the districts in the state of texas, have the students lean the recorder. well she loves it and willingly practices it everyday. on her own. so she decided she wants her elective to be orchestra. i told her once she starts something, she can not quit.

i don't want her to get into that habit. but she is excited and so am i. they both had a sleep over this weekend. i am so exited that the have made friends.

we are now going to a new church. i just couldn't settle in at the other place. so we are now going to faith fellowship in mckinney texas. david got to go with me last sunday, and he loved it. we had a church potluck dinner, and actually spread picnic blankets on the church floor and sat and ate. we had soooooooooo much fun. we were there until 2.

the first sunday we were there i had more real conversations, than the whole 4 months we were at the other place. david already had an invitation to go golfing with some of the men. we went on a wednesday night and they just did an open discussion bible study. there were about 20 adults there. it was so good. there was a man there that i could have listened to all night. he reminded me of andy d. so full of Godly wisdom.

i met a woman there, she said after our conversation, she felt like she has known me her whole life. that was nice. i am ready to start building relationships again. i feel like God had placed me in just the right place.

the praise and worship was amazing. after one sunday, i actually found myself at the alter. i could have stayed there all day. the girls love the children's church. bekah helped with puppets the first sunday we were there.

they have family night planned once a month. next friday we are going to watch fireproof and play games. i am excited. it sounds like fun.

well i have talked your ear off. and i am ready to stop typing. i miss you all and hope you are having a great weekend.

ttfn......................
