Lent

So I have decided. I am going to make it a goal to read the entire Bible, cover to cover in the 40 days going up to Easter. That is approximately 30 chapters a day. I might be a little out of my league here with 4 children, but this is the goal anyhow. Lots of extra prayers will be involved in getting this accomplished. Time for bed. More work tomorrow, almost a 9-5. Goodnight.

It is official!

I have lost 20 lbs since Christmas!!! I am so excited!!

I am down 2 pants sizes (the 2nd are a little tight, but they get buttoned, so they count right?) and I have had to get my wedding rings sized 3 times because of the weight loss. Fitting into clothes pre babies (since Gia really!!) I need to lose a lot more, but my goal is a bikini by August when we go back to Grandpas.

We have 7 inches of snow, and so of course down here, people have been panicked over it! It's nothing compared to New England and Washington DC. My parents in Cleveland have gotten 10 more inches as of Sunday! A good 3 feet there I think! Gia is loving the snow, she liked it last year, but mostly because Mommy and Daddy made such a big deal out of it! The twins and Jackson have no idea what to make of it, other than the tame sled riding we have been doing. Lots of belly laughs from all of them!

I am in the midst of thinking about what to give up for Lent. We are not Catholic, but it has always been a tradition. My mom is giving up Walmart. Which I think is HILARIOUS! Mostly because there isn't much left in the small town to do your shopping without Walmart. Any suggestions? With my diet, I have given up most sweets and have been very good about exercising. (going to the gym has become my "Mommy Time") The only thing I can think of in the food department is meat, but I don't think Ken would be crazy about going vegetarian with me. Leave your suggestions or send me a text. Time for Pilates!
