Feeling Good

So it is currently 3:10 AM and I am awake. Surprisingly not because of Natalie but because I just can't sleep. And it has been too long since I have posted on here. I will try to be better about it.

So this week I have worked really hard to be healthy. I have done a great job at eating well and getting exercise. I have mostly been going on walks with Natalie in order to get my exercise. I love it! So today Sama and I had planned to go out to eat and I had planned to eat pretty much whatever I wanted. I started with a large salad so I wouldn't go too crazy. And I didn't. Except then I got chocolate cake. Still feeling okay about this. The problem was later when I wasn't quite hungry enough for a full meal and just wanted something little and quick. So then I started snacking on granola bars. Anyway, the end of the day wasn't that great and since it was snowing today I never went for that walk. So I guess today was a learning experience. The good thing is that I am not beating myself up over it. I have felt so good in just a few days of being healthy that I just want to get back to that! And I know I can do it too. I think eating lots of fruits and vegetables has been great and one of the main things that has helped me so much.

In other news. Natalie has an ear infection. Poor girl. We didn't know for a few days. She was fussy and had an elevated temperature so we called the nurse and she said to come in. Good thing. She is starting to do a little better now! She has to take antibiotics for a few days. You know that pink stuff? I remember taking it as a kid and loving it. I thought it tasted so good. My mom had a daycare and when other kids had to take it and I would see it I would always be a little jealous. Anyway, I am just remembering this since Natalie is now taking the same stuff.

Sama is working hard finishing his senior project. I can't believe the semester is almost over! I am excited to move to Oregon, but now that it is close I am realizing that there are so many people I will miss. We aren't that social so it kind of surprised me when I started thinking of all the people we won't see anymore that we will miss. I guess we are a little more social than I thought. I will miss getting together with everyone! I wish I could just have everyone move with us, but of course that is just not going to happen.

Sama finishes work next week. The place he works is moving to another city and since we are moving it is not  realistic for him to start another job. So we will have more time with him! Less money for about a month, but we have enough and will be just fine.

Overall life is really good. I am so happy with how things are going and I feel so blessed with all I have.

Blessing Day

Natalie had her baby blessing last Sunday, March 6th. It was WONDERFUL! We had family and friends there who participated and it was such a special day. Natalie looked so sweet in her dress. Unfortunately she wasn't very happy when we took these pictures.
