I try and I try and I try, but I just can't seem to stay committed to checking into this blog. Maybe it's because I feel like I have to have something profound to say. Maybe it's because I know that no one is reading this but me. Maybe it's because it's for me to get my thoughts out, and I talk so much on most days that I don't feel the need to write it all out. But the truth is, I forget things, and I want to keep them in my memories. I want to look back and say, "oh, yeah! I remember that!" Rather than events being completely forgotten. On that note, here are a few events from the last week.
Daylight savings time ended and we gained an extra hour of sleep. Is this really worthy to put in a blog? Maybe not, but I love it that I get that extra hour back because it puts me on time again. When we "spring forward" into the time change, I lose that hour and I struggle to be on time. It totally throws my sleep schedule off, and I am not a morning person, so it makes a huge difference. So, we gained an hour.
Also on Sunday, we celebrated the members of our church who have passed over the last year by lighting a candle for each of them. It was painstakingly horrible. I know it was meant as a tribute, but for me it brought back all of those reasons why we miss Myron so terribly. As his name was read, there were sobs throughout the church. It's just so crazy that he isn't here anymore. So, the week was a bit rough dealing with that depression once again. Not that it has completely left anyway.
We did try to pull ourselves out of the funk on Sunday evening by going to see Megamind. As I had hoped, laughter was a result. But how can you not laugh at a movie that features the voice of Will Ferrell. That reminds me...I need to pull out Elf for the holidays. :)
On Thursday, while everyone celebrated Veteran's Day (BTW...Thank you to all of you soldiers who are willing to risk your life and fight for our freedoms), we celebrated a very special day. It was the day that my husband was shoved out of his 20s. That's right. My hubby joined me in the thirty something crowd. He's now 30! Why do I exclaim it? You see, he always gives me a hard time about already being there, but now he's here with me. :) Of course, he's sure to rub it in that the same thing will happen when I turn 40. Oh, the joys of marrying a younger man. The family all met at our house that evening to have an incredible steak dinner to celebrate both Nick and Jerad's birthday, and we topped it off with a giant double doozie cookie and a trip to Rialto to see Secratariat, another incredible movie.
Friday, we ran to the German restaurant for another incredible meal. Then, Saturday, we had friends over to celebrate Nick and Jerad's birthday. We must be getting old or boring or maybe both because everyone was out of the house by 10:30. Although, we had a great time with those who came by.
We ended the weekend with a trip to the city to see Shrek the musical. The boys thought it was one of the best ones they had ever seen. We had box seats which gave us a different perspective of the show. We were able to see a lot of technical things, which for our family is greatly appreciated. We ate Olive Garden for lunch, and for the first time ever, I didn't order pasta. I looked at the menu online before we got there so I could try to make a healthy decision, which was much needed after the weekend that revolved around eating since Thursday. I was surprised that I maintained my weight throughout all of that. Now for a week of big weight loss! I have the final weigh in for the Lose 2 Win challenge next Tuesday. I've got to stay on track this week!
