My little week buddies and I went out and played in the snow a couple of weeks ago in beautiful 40 something degree weather. It was so nice to get out. I pulled B on the sled and would get going pretty fast around corners (it's snows and rains here so there's lots of icy patches) where he would actually fall out but in sitting position and with the sled still attached to his bottom. It was a funny sight to see. Cole didn't like the sled so he ate snow instead. B thought it was gross until he tried it, then he couldn't stop.
I've decided not to run the half marathon in March. It was a really hard decision and it's one I second guess often. My knee has really just taken a toll. I ran 7.5 miles on Monday and I'm still not 100% with my knee. I can go up and down stairs now but when I walk long or often it flares up. At night too it becomes really painful, wakes me up. When we were in Spokane I went to a running store. I think my problem might be my shoes since I've had them for 4 years. Anyway really great new running shoes are out of our budget right now so it'll wait til another day. It's something I've really wanted to do and it looked like a perfect opportunity but I guess I'll also leave that for another day.
We love that we get to see Auntie Jessie Bob pretty often. We'll be very sad when she moves.
Which leads me to our financial difficulties. We've had to make some difficult financial decisions out of late but all out of necessity. Anyway I need to remind myself to try to be more frugal than usual. Just til we can get in a bit better of a situation. I do plan to make dresses and headbands to sell so hopefully that will bring us success and help our financial situation. This time is for a season. Once Chase graduates it will be different. I'm sure we'll experience it in other areas but it will be different.
We love snap chat

All of this leads me to what Chase and I have both been feeling lately. Our life is so wonderful. We have a heavenly father who has blessed us both with wonderful parents. Parents who are willing to give us aid in any area that we stand in need. He is so aware of our every need and has not forced us to live in too difficult of circumstances. We have always had enough for our needs and more. We feel so blessed to be where we are in life. We are so happy and often tell one another how much we love our life right now. We aren't doing the Whole 30 as strict ;) but we are eating similar. We feel that eating healthy (or at least having control over what we eat), exercise, scripture study, fulfilling our calling, getting together with friends, and setting aside time for family and spouse has really made us feel like we have balance. We hope to always remember how good our life is right now and how happy we are. (Don't forget that it ebbs and flows but it's really good right now)
Eating Papa Murphy's and watching Frozen in the tent
I had a moment this last week of missing my life as a working woman. I miss having deadlines and to do lists and being needed in a work type situation. I told Chase this and he was so supportive in that desire but also reminded me how well I do at home with our boy. More than wanting to work I want to be with my baby. So I my goal is to try to earn money in different ways. We'll see how it goes.
I knew it would happen eventually but somehow Cole got all the lipstick out and put it on himself and the puzzle. Luckily it was a light color.
When Cole colors on his train he gets to clean it up. He actually really likes to do some good scrubbing.
