Progress

We've been incorporating more salads and fruits lately (at home and in restaurants), and that has been a lovely change both physically and mentally!

My niece is the very cutest... she put her sleep mask on her little fox stuffed animal in her room (but pulled it up because the sun was out), and then she put her headphones on the cat toy and turned him to face her iPad as she went outside to play! LOL #thoughtful #adorable

I am super delighted to report some major progress on my future home this week!!  The pic below = my future living room and fireplace.

Rachel with Taber Homes texted Mom and I on June 20th saying they were waiting on inspections.  Mom told me that can take a while, so I hadn't bothered driving by it that week...

Then Rachel sent us this photo yesterday!!  What!?  I 100% assumed she had accidentally texted the wrong person until I zoomed in and saw the numbers on it.  Mom joined me after work in coming to see it in person.  It was exciting to walk through it, and such a fun surprise to see this much progress in one week!

For around a year, I was doing 75 minutes a day with Peloton, then it became 45 minutes for a while, and then with the move and job change and everything else, I fell off the Peloton wagon for most of April and May.  And that was okay!  But I am back on board, committing myself to 20 minutes a day right now, and it's been fantastic - I've been getting up early and working out before work - yoga, cycling, barre, etc., then either swimming or walking with the kids afterward (or going to the gym with Tman).  I'm grateful for some lovely walks in this cooler weather this week, and happy to step back into an exercise commitment that feels fun and achievable in this season!!

Also, hooray for the HydroMassage at Planet Fitness!  On days when I don't bring lunch and eat with my coworkers, I've started coming here and doing a brief workout followed by a 10-minute massage! lol  Yes, please!

Rachael got me this glitzy new tumbler - love the colorful glitter, and love the verse being on there as a daily reminder that "The JOY of the Lord is my strength!!" ❤

Thanks to Mom's photography skills, Dad made the paper for "State Farm Day," and it made me happy to see that (and it's always a good surprise when they spell our last name correctly)!

This email made me laugh, but sure, I'm up for a celebratory treat any time!

Mom bought some lifts and organized all of Jace's Transformer toys!  He was very excited when he saw it (while showing his collection to literally anyone and everyone who comes over to their house), and I love that she cared enough to do this for him! =)

Reminder:

May God give you the desires of your heart
and make all your plans succeed!
