Jeremy

We had a good day on Sunday. Jeremy was called to serve as the 1st counselor in the bishopric for the Riverside Ward in Milwaukie, Or. We picked up Terrel and Katie and we spent a good 3 hours catching up on all the family news as we traveled down the freeway. We went to church with Jeremy's family and enjoyed the special spirit that was there. Jeremy bore his testimony of the truthfulness of the church and also about having family members in his life that he looked up to and wanted to emulate. Randy ordained Jeremy a high priest with Grandpa Terrel also standing in the circle. It was an awesome day. I am very proud of Jeremy's progress and hope he can find joy in this new calling. Molly is teaching the Gospel Essentials class and is doing a good job also. They have a super friendly ward with all kinds of diffrent people. Isn't the gospel great? I know that there are great blessings given to us when we keep the commandments and serve our brothers and sisters to the best of our abilities. I pray that our family will have a good year in 2012. For me my goal is to go to the temple at least once a month!! That is what I need to work on.

Getting in Shape??

Ok, so after about 7 weeks of physical therapy, I have been cut loose. I have to do it on my own. I am worried about this because I am the worst procrastinator there is. I have no stick-to-it-ness!! My therapist told me to make an appointment with myself for my workouts and because the exercises seem to be working I am going to try to do better at scheduling "me" time. I have worked out 2 times this week and will do the last one on Saturday. My main goal is to strengthen my core muscles and I can finally feel that I actually have some stomach muscle, not just flab!
I also walk on the treadmill and tonight even challenged Maelin to a Wii dance off. I was horrible but it was a lot of fun. (I only lost by a few moves) Haha
My goal for this year is to be in better shape than I was last year. I will always have the spinal issues to deal with , but I would like to have a more healthy, pain free year and the exercises program should help. That in itself should be motivation enough. We shall see....
