Thursday Notes

Suzy was "playing" the piano earlier today, not something I let her do often. She was plinking away at the high notes and James said, "That sounds like someone pounding icicles into your brain!" lol

I'm finally at 25 pounds LOST since January 1. And I've lost two pants sizes. YAY! Go me! I've journaled a lot of calories and exercised a lot of hours to hit that goal. I'm not done yet. I have 13 more pounds until I've hit my goal weight. And then I'll set a new goal. And I hope to run a 5K this fall. Actually RUN it, not walk/jog. So, there you have it.

The little kids have been going to a soccer camp/VBS this week every night. They seem to be having fun and they know a few people there. The first couple nights David rode along with me, just to get out of the house he said.

Last night, I took Emily instead and we had a little girls' night. She and I went to the thrift store and tried on pants - she got a couple pair and I got a pair of capris (a size SMALLER!) and a shirt. Then we grabbed some slushies and some McDonald's and went for a walk at a nearby park. Then we headed back to the church and still had a few minutes to wait and we sat together - I finished my book club book and she wrote for a while. A nice night together - we don't get that often enough.

Bob had an interview yesterday afternoon and it went pretty well, I guess. All we can do now is wait and pray. A lady from our church was in the waiting area when Bob came out from his interview.

I hear the ice cream truck!

Yes!
Congratulations on the tremendous weight loss! 25 lbs! So hard to do! And, running a 5K? You rock! You're such a nice role model for your girls! Which by the way... sounds like a very nice mother-daughter night... I'm sure Em had a great time.
