Our weekend---

Not a very eventful weekend, yet it was just perfect.  We spent a lot of time together as a family, the kids got to play outside a lot today in the snow, and we got to relax.  For whatever reason, I can’t remember right now if we did anything Friday night…I don’t think so, but possibly.  Oh well. 
Saturday morning I was up bright and early to head to Crosswinds Manor, a local senior citizen community for Christmas caroling with a few of my Girl Scouts…actually, as it ended up, it was just Syd, Autumn, her sister Lana, Grandma Mary, and myself.  We were going to reschedule, but decided to give it a whirl with just us.  It was really a good time.  They enjoy watching us sing and just having visitors.  I hope we’ll have a chance to get out there to hang out with them more often.  Sydney really looked forward to singing for them- she did a great job!
Right from caroling, I dropped Sydney off and headed to Grand Rapids to participate in the Visalus success training.  I have to tell ya, I was really nervous to go to this, but everyone is super nice and so welcoming.  It was great to get out of the house for a change and it was great to talk with people.  Family and friends, I'm signing up to be a promoter for Visalus, so I'm sure you'll hear me talk about it from time to time... ok, probably all of the time.  It's majorly on my mind the past few weeks since I first heard about it.
This is a new endeavor for me and I’m hoping that the results will be trifold- 1. I’ll really lose this 40 pounds in 90 days and get healthy.  2. I’ll make some money while doing it.  And 3. I’ll make so much money that I won’t have to worry about going back to work for some jerk who doesn’t care about their employees.  That’s the plan anyway.  This Tuesday is our challenge party (at 6:30PM) at our house and I’m so excited about it!  I can’t wait to spread the word and to get started on my own journey.
Speaking of Visalus, I’m also really excited that Josh is going to do it with me.  He and I are a wonderful team both as husband and wife, and as friends.  He’s always my support and my encouragement and I hope I’ll be that for him.  We’ll keep you posted on our getting healthy journey!
Today as I mentioned, the kids got to go outside and play in the snow with the neighbor kids.  That’s because as you all know, most of Michigan got dumped on today and it will continue throughout the week.  It’s somewhat ok because I don’t have to go out in it, but I still don’t like that Josh has to drive so far to go to work in the icky weather.  I worry about him.  Tomorrow he has to go to work super early as we didn’t make it to Muskegon today like we had intended to.  The weather was just too yucky out.  It was funny though- Josh offered to drop the kids and I off at the mall to do a little shopping while he worked for a bit.  So that was going to be the gameplan.
Tomorrow, we recently learned that Sydney and Blake don’t have school.  I see tomorrow having a lot of video games and more relaxing.  Hopefully tomorrow will also include some house cleaning haha.  Let’s see, we also have to decorate the tree…. Yeah, yeah, I haven’t done that yet.  I might have to pull out some of my bigger snowmen too.  Also, since I’ll have some extra hands tomorrow, I might try to take some more pictures of Mr. Mason- afterall, he’s 5 weeks old already!  Time really is flying by and he’s getting so big.

Life is good…
    … and is going to get better!
