Soft?

I have a recipe for the best chocolate chip cookies! They stay so nice and soft, I love them. But I am not so fond of soft things on my body! So 7 years of marriage and 3 kids later, Nate and I have had it with our softness. ( Trust me its there, and I am really not to fond of it)


So last week, we ordered a workout video. I wonder how many of you picture Jane Fonda in a striped leotard, in your mind when you hear WORKOUT VIDEO? Because I do. Anyway before you laugh, we ordered the absolute killer of all workouts. P90x! That's right, I am probably going to die! Its supposed to get here tomorrow, and I am scared!


I better be pretty ripped in 90 days!

In Love

I am not usually a Nightowl, but after this weekend in Utah, I guess some of my pre-marriage habits are coming back. You see, we ( us, and the kids) are usually out by 8:30. Yes you read that right. Sometimes I wonder how old we really are? Anyway, we were in Provo for the 4th, and to visit family, to make time stretch we stay up LATE! Now that we are home, I am having a hard time getting back on my schedule.


I thought that it would be nice to make some muffins for Nate so that he would have something new to try in the morning. So I pulled out a cookbook and got started. I was so excited. It was kind of like being back in high school trying to do something special for a crush, and I was in love. Anyway; I got them all finished, and oh they looked and smelt so good. I decided to tie a bow around the cakestand, and headed of for bed.


I knew right when he woke up this morning, and couldn't wait to hear the clanking of the cake stand to let me know that he had gotten one. Such a feeling of pride came over me, I was able to start his day off sweet!


I guess the little stuff really does count!
