Can't you see that its just raining.....there ain't no need to go outside...

The wind and rain in Juneau have been horrific! Its raining cats and dogs! Its especially hard when you have to wake up to the sound of an annoying alarm clock and you have a nice cozy bed with a warm body beside you.

Anyways…..I have been meaning to blog, but my busy life seems to never permit me.

So….I have been thinking of a new plan for myself when I get back from vacation. I read in this magazine to “Invest in your body”. We often buy things that we think will make us look good or what not, but we don’t do the basics. Therefore….I am going to try and work on it while I am on vacation, but definitely when I get back…..Those things include:
-Exercise at least 5 days a week (if not more…try to attend classes including strength training and yoga)
-Follow the Weight Watcher Point System
-Take a multi-vitamin each day
-Pray/Meditate-I want my relationship with God to be stronger. I think this affects many, many, MANY aspects of life.
I often write this down to remind myself, but I figure if I make it public, I will actually work on it. I guess these ideas stemmed from going to the gym and seeing my reflection and thinking, “Who is that??” My goal is to be healthy and it stems from what I do to my own body.

On a different note, Marcus’s mom flew in on Wednesday. It was a pretty windy day, but luckily she got in. The first night we had dinner at John’s house with the kids and his new love interest. I can tell he is happy and the kids seem to all get along. The second was with our parents at the Thai place. I always knew my dad was intelligent, but last night, I realized just how much he really knows about everything. He can be a handful at times just like most parents, but he always impresses me with the amount of knowledge he has. My mom is also wonderful! She is always so friendly and welcoming. She got Sue a gift of dragon fly items (a night light and a charm) that she just adored! I love them =)

The dobbies were soo happy to see Grandma Sue! We set her up on an air mattress in the living room and I even provided new Egyptian cotton pillow cases. Sue asked if the dogs could sleep out in the living room with her (we usually put them in the bathroom to sleep) and we agreed and guess what?? Ox sleeps on his bed but does the cutest thing and rests his head on Grandma’s pillows! Haha I wish I hadn’t packed my camera or I would have taken a picture of it! I guess he appreciated the new pillow cases too! hahaha Those two dogs, I tell ya! I love them to pieces!! I am gonna miss them when I go on vacay! I am also sad that we aren’t going to be able to dress them up for Halloween!

Anyways, this is all for now. The next time I enter, I should have some cute pictures from my vacation! Until next time…….
