We had a pretty fun and busy weekend this past Valentine's Day weekend......we got to spend sometime with my large and spread out family over dinner Saturday night, its rare to get all of us together since we are spread all over the state and in North Carolina, but we managed to almost do that, with the exception of Chris and his family. My grandmother always treats us so well on holidays, even ones like Valentine's Day. We started out heading to the Cheesecake Factory but with two small kids its hard to make that 2 hour wait, so we ended up at Sweetdaddy's, to the dismay of my little sis! It was a good time and I enjoyed visiting with my sister, brother, sister-in-law, nephews, and of course my favorite boyfriend-in-law! I cannot get enough of the two little boys I am so blessed to call my nephews, Jacob and Colyn, I might be biased but they are just precious and so special to me! Jacob does not like for me to take his picture but I did snap a few of Colyn and I am adding one of Jacob from about a month ago when he came to spend the night with Aunt Kayla and Uncle Wade.
After dinner with the fam, we headed back home for a good friend's birthday party. I never thought moving to Sylacauga that I would make such wonderful friends, who have become pretty much like family. Most of these people Wade has know his whole life and has always been close to, so it is hard to be the "outsider" of the group, but they have all made me feel so welcome and like I have been around for years. I thought I would share some pics of the people I have come to love so much.......
Sunday was a pretty lazy day for me and Wade, although he did pretend to run out to the store real quick and came back with a Valentine's Day present for me. I was not aware that we were exchanging any kind of gift since we do not usually do anything for Valentine's Day because he is always at work. He bought me a "funny" card and one of my favorite DVDs to add to my collection! We cooked dinner together and he did the dishes for me too! All in all it was a pretty good day!
Wednesday as most people know was Lent, and although my visits to the catholic church have been few and far between since my Paw Paw died, I decided this year to give something up for Lent. It was hard for me to find something this year since I have given up most of my vices like fast food, soft drink, and tea. After much thought and lots of suggestions to give up facebook and texting (yeah right!) I decided to give up smoking. I have tried several times to quit, even here recently, and it is something that I really want to do, so I am hoping that Lent will be my starting point, wish me luck!
I have been going to the gym at least 4 days a week for a little over a month now and I am so excited that I have worked myself up to burning 1400 calories a workout! I can workout on the elliptical machine for an hour now, which is AMAZING, since a month ago I could barely stay on it for 5 minutes. I am slowly but surely making my way to where I want to be!
