Update

I realize that it's been a while since I've blogged anything. To be honest, my life has been pretty neat and tidy lately (knocking on wood), and we've been busy, but nothing huge to report.

Still going to the gym and exercising as much as I can. I'm getting excited because my endurance and strength have really increased. I'm starting to feel kind of strong. The scales still haven't moved, but I've just decided to not think about it in terms of weight, and I do it for health's sake alone. It's made me much happier and willing to work hard when I think of it in those terms.

I get together with friends when I can. It's always nice to have that time with the girls, even if it's just sitting around watching a reality show. You can't replace good girlfriends!

I've been working hard to de-junk, get organized, and simplify our lives. Moving to Philly has been at the forefront of my brain lately, and I'm starting to feel the reality of it sink in more and more everyday. We just recently recieved a nav unit as a gift, which is going to be really nice to have in a big city! We're also starting to apply for the apartment we plan to live in when we get there, gosh, it's coming so fast!

I've been summoned for jury duty, GOSH! This is what I get for voting! I guess it's not so bad. Last time I had to do it, I called everyday, but I never actually had to go in and serve. I'm kind of hoping it will be the same situation this time. Last time I was kind of hoping to get called in to get a break from work! This time I'd just like to stay home so I can keep my comfy clothes on.

I'm also getting ready to have another Lia Sophia party, because as most of you know by now, I'm obsessed! It's going to be April 17th a Thursday, 700, at my dad's office. Everyone is invited, so come, and bring your friends! I love a good party.

My kids are growing, Jayda is talking, so well that it's actually kind of scary sometimes. Skyler is starting to say words like mama, although I'm not exactly sure if he really knows what he is saying. They are so fun and being a stay-at-home mom these last few months has been really good for all of us. I feel like I've become a lot more comfortable being home alone with the kids, where before it was really intimidating and used to kind of freak me out! I'm glad that I will at least have that routine down before moving.

Glenn is doing well and enjoys working at the gym. He is looking very forward to not working graves anymore, and I don't blame him. In a way, going to dental school is going to be a break simply because he'll get a (semi) normal sleeping pattern again. Although, I have heard that dental students spend some late nights studying.

As my darling friend Andrea mentioned in her last blog, reading has become my absolute new ADDICTION. When I was younger I read so many books and I was always looking forward to starting a new one. After I had Jayda, I pretty much just assumed that my life was over and that I'd never read again. Well, my life wasn't really over, I was just really busy, and juggling a full-time job, plus a family, made it difficult to finish a book. Plus, I think the instant gratification of audio and visual stimulation from the TV quickly replaced reading for a while. But, with an odd combination of losing my job, and being introduced to Twilight, I was able to rediscover my passion for reading all over again. Now I'm in a book club, goodreads.com and amazon.com are my favorite websites, and I have my nose in a book every chance I get. It's been so nice to get back to the details, thought processes, and intricate plots that books offer. You just can't get that from TV. I'm reading The Atonement right now. I'm about a fifth of the way into it, but I'm really enjoying it. The writing style took a bit to get used to, but I'm enjoying the story and the characters.

Anyway, there's my long, unconsequential update. Sorry that it doesn't get much more interesting then that, but sometimes it's nice to report that there is just not a lot going on. I will be able to give more of an update once my camera is full. Hope you're all doing well and Happy Spring!
