Out of Town and Anniversary!

Well I have to say I apologize for the long space between my last blog and now! We have been very busy and I haven't had time to sit down and write. We were out of town for most of last week, my father-in-law was preaching in a city about 2 hrs away and we went to see him. He was preaching at the church in Blyth were our good friends are pastoring, Anna was actually my maid of honor in our wedding, so we stayed with them and had such a great time! Speaking of weddings yesterday was our 7 year wedding anniversary!! Its hard to believe that we have been married for 7 years, they have been 7 wonderful years and time flies when you're having fun! It has been such an adventure serving God together, loving each other and building our family. I couldn't ask for a more fulfilling life! :) I just had a girl ask me on Saturday why I was always so happy and all I could come up with is because I have nothing to be unhappy about. I know that my joy doesn't come from my outside surroundings but from inside. Sure I have things in my life that I could complain about but even on my worst day I am still saved and going to heaven and that is enough to give me joy. But even with that I am still incredibly blessed and that doesn't go unnoticed! 

Anyway back to our trip in Blyth...I did ok with my eating and staying on track. There were a few slip ups but I still was able to go down in my weight, I didn't even have a chance to workout all week! Getting back on track feels good, that first workout was the hardest to get motivated for but after I did it I felt great. It just proves the old saying "a rolling stone gathres no moss" I was starting to collect moss but I have successfully shook it off! The menu for the week isn't really made (sorry again!) We haven't had a chance to go shopping since we got back and I am just throwing meals together depending on what I have in my freezer! I have a reserve of frozen chicken, beef and vegetables for times like these. The meals are usually something simple like grilled or baked chicken with steamed veggies! Simple but healthy!
