Since I started back to work (just three days a week for now), I am listening to a new audiobook for my commute... Babyproofing Your Marriage. Hilarious. I literally laugh out loud quite often, but realize I can't laugh too loud because Luke is asleep in the back seat :) It is so funny to hear all of the things I do, or the things Berry does! It is great to hear others tips, advice, experiences, and know that we aren't alone!

Anyway, today is National Running Day! I'm going to go to lunch at 1 and run a few errands, and after that, come back to the Fit to work out, then... go outside for a walk/jog. (Still not running all the time, I don't think they make a sports bra good enough for me to do that yet!)

I'm also working on planning some surprise things for Berry's Birthday... which is June 10th. Yea, ten days before Father's Day. Anyway, it's his First Father's Day, so I want it to be special.

Well, I haven't been blogging really at all in a very long time, and I thought I was going to be so good about it... so I decided instead of just posting mileage (which I lost track of, so I haven't done that in forever) I'm going to post "I'm thank ful for..." each day. That way, I can see the things I'm thankful for all the time, and also hopefully post a little more regularly!

I'm thankful for...
1. My husband who has been extremely supportive, and always tells me how impressed he is with my Mothering abilities.
2. Luke. I'm sure every Mother thinks their baby is the most amazing... but I really do. He is such a blessing, and I am so thankful for him each and everyday. I love him so much.
3. God. He sent his only son to die for our sins. I have always known that, and appreciated that, but it wasn't until I became a Mom that I realized just how much he loves us. My relationship with God has grown so much in the past couple of years. I understand life better, I appreciate things more, and I want to live a more Christ-like life every day.
4. My parents- (Who just had their 35th Wedding Anniversary this May) They are really great people. No family is perfect, there have been fights, mishaps, miscommunications, but all in all, I have the best family ever. My parents are there for me no matter what. No matter what mistake I have made, they are always there. They have cheered for me through so many things in my life, and I can't imagine where I would be without their support. I love them so much.
5. My brother Glen... There was a time I sat by his hospital bed wondering if he would make it through the night, and now, he looks like Superman! My brother has been my best friend for a long time, and even though things aren't exactly like they used to be, I am so happy to have him here and to be able to laugh and joke with him. He's a great brother.
