Today was one of the first cold days of the year. Raelee and I took full advantage of it. Ya'll that know me, know that I am NOT a morning person. Today though, I am so proud, because Raelee and I were up, fed, showered, dressed, and out the door by 10am. Whooohooo! Great victory for me! We picked up my little brother Matthew(or Mat-Mat as Raelee calls him) for a day of fun. Our days with Matt are limited as he received his mission call this week. He will be serving the Lord in Provo, Utah for two years starting Dec 14th. I know this is a great opportunity for him and that he's doing the Lord's will, but I am sad for him to go. He's been my buddy for the past forever years. And Raelee loves her Mat-Mat. I get super sad to think that when he comes home, she'll be almost 4!!!
Anyway, back to today. We started the day with a trip to the main library. My branch closed this week because a new library is being opened, RIGHT BY MY HOUSE! (not until next month)Can you tell I'm super excited? I had a book to pick up, and thought my books were due today, it was actually yesterday they were due, but the librarian forgave my fee :) We then headed to Toys-R-Us in search of a cheap car seat for Raelee for Brad's car. The one I wanted wasn't in stock, but I did finally find Raelee some frilly socks for church. This is her first pair. Seriously every time I've tried to buy her a pair, they're out of stock. At all the stores. How has this been possible? I bought a bunch of pairs today. Then a quick trip to Target. Sweater were on sell, whoop whoop! Matt and I then took Raelee to the park. The weather was GORGEOUS! It was quite entertaining the see Matt chasing Rae around the park. Then home for a nap, and the Rae was off to my parents while Brad and I went jogging. We're still not up to the entire 5K, but today was definitely easier. This is week 3 of jogging. Man I am upset with how out of shape I let my body get. No negativity though, I've been telling Brad, we can only be positive and encouraging from here on out. No guilt for the past. Just a healthier future. I'm excited to see how far we can run in a month and then 2 months...
