NO SMOKING....six weeks:-)

This week it will be six weeks that I haven't smoked! Nope...NOT ONE:-) I feel great!!! I really think this might be my last attempt to quit smoking. It is amazing how much better I feel. I have continued to do yoga which is great...not only for my body and mind...but also for my lungs! I can breathe through class now...it's getting much easier. The first few yoga classes I really wasn't sure if I was going to make it...but I did...and I really LOVE yoga. Now....if I could only get Joel to stop smoking. He doesn't smoke as much because I don't want him smoking around me...but he is still smoking. Maybe within time he will quit too! I am on a roll though...and so very proud of myself. It's not easy to quit smoking after you have smoked as long as I have.

Weekly Goals 7/12/10

It's going to be a great week because I say so:-) It's taken me a long time to realize life is really what YOU make it....not anyone else...just YOU! It feels so good to reach all of the goals that I set for myself weekly. I have daily goals too...but don't post all of them...lol. Maybe I am crazy...who knows...but it works for me and I look forward to checking all of the my goals off at the end of the week. It doesn't matter how big or small they are...I did what I set out to do...and that feels great!!

4th of July 2010

This was our first 4th in our new home...in a new town. We decided to go to the Mansfield City Firework Show to see what it was all about. I am so glad we went! It was great:-) They had lots of good food...live bands...dancers...etc! We picked a nice seat in the ball field and hung out until the show started. The show was amazing. It lasted a good 30-45 minutes and the fireworks were beautiful and RIGHT above us. It was really cool!!!! Thomas was able to bring along a friend of his, Bailey, to enjoy the show with us. There was no parking at the event...you had to park and ride the shuttle. Getting there wasn't bad...but getting back was kind of a pain. We had to wait about an hour to catch the shuttle back to our car...but you have to pay the play right? It was worth the wait. It wasn't hot outside and the wait went by pretty fast. It was a great 4th! I sure do wish Haley and Brenden could have been there....hopefully they will be able to go with us next year!!!

Camp La Junta 2010

Well...another year has come and gone. This was Thomas's 7th year at Camp La Junta....and once again he had an absolute BLAST and can't wait to go back next year. This was his last year as a regular camper. Next year he will be an AC (advanced camper). They get to do more stuff and have less supervision basically. I am soooo glad he gets to go to this camp every year. He really loves it! Normally they have closing ceremonies where they hang out awards...etc...but because of the weather they had to do a drive through pick up. We literally drove through the camp picked Thomas up and kept on driving all the way back home. I was disappointed because I really enjoy the closing ceremonies...but that's ok...what can you do right? I also forgot my camera...ugh! Mama did snap this one picture with her phone. This was on our way home...we had stopped for a little lunch:-) He is just so darn handsome. He thinned out a little this summer like he always does. He was eager to get home but also talked about all the cool things he is looking forward to doing next year! Welcome home T-Man. We missed you like crazy!!!!
