The Big Day!

Tomorrow the boys and I begin our foray into "Couch to 5k".  I am really excited to try this.  Excited that my boys are into the idea.  I am also nervous.  Nervous that it will be over doing it for one of us.   Nervous that it will be all me dragging the boys.  I am covering this venture in prayer and trusting that God will do with it what He will.

Nothing much going on...

It's pretty odd to say that, given everything that IS going on. We are in the midst of major work in our house, trying to sell our house, trying to find a house, dealing with the usual and not so usual problems of multicore myopathy, and in our extended family: pregnancies, cancer, liver failure, distance (either a 12 hr drive or a 3 hr drive or a 5hr drive), and moving. All in all a lot on our plates. And I would have to say that is the cause of feeling there is not much to talk about. I guess I could talk about the character traits God is growing in us (patience, perseverance) or the medical side of our lives (the 15 doctors and the waiting and the procedures and the tests). But what I would like to be able to use this blog for is as a place to share the good in our lives, to remember our blessings and the things that are going well. So, here I go with a few unexpected blessings....

These three boys, who have been fighting a lot of late, have been forced to live in one room,and have reached some kind of truce and found a common enemy in the opposing team on NHL 2012. So much so that we are debating having them live in one room in the new house...seriously!

This bad picture (I can't open the freezer all the way because of all the boxes) is of 20 meals, ready to be popped into the crock pot so I can concentrate on other things and don't have to think about dinner for a month!! I have been wanting to try this for a long time. It is working beautifully. In the next couple of days I will post the recipes to my food blog.

These are my running shoes, I have not run in about a year. Our frustration with multicore has led us to begin running, well the boys and I anyway. We want to be ready for a September Muscular Dystrophy 5K run. We are using "Couch to 5K" and are SO excited. I know this will benefit us in many ways: we will feel healthier, we will feel more relaxed and we will feel as though we are doing something about this disease that is affecting our family.
