Before I post about anything else…… I want to take a moment on my blog to remember 9/11/2001. 10 years.. my goodness. I still remember that morning so clear. I was sitting in my 10th grade English class, when the History teacher across the hall told us to turn on the TV’s. There it was. One of the towers in a smokey fog. I remember that my Mom had recently been in the hospital and my Aunt had come from Georgia to watch over me while she was in the hospital. I just can’t believe it’s been 10 YEARS?! My heart and prayers go out to all those who lost someone on 9/11. I pray for our country every day.

I have to say today was great. Really great!!! And not in a sarcastic tone, just happy. We went to church… and I realized this morning I LEFT my scriptures at church last Sunday. Woops. After first hour, I talked to a friend of mine then went on a search for my scriptures but didn’t find them. After the 3rd hour, they were found, thank goodness. Brad got sustained for his new calling after church then we made our way home. I ate 2 muffins for breakfast before we left for church… one egg scramble muffin and the other with peanut butter and I wasn’t even hungry when we got home! WOW, yea, hormones are changing for sure….. yes!!! I even organized Katie’s room when we got home. PLUS- we did something big today……
WE TURNED KATIE’S CRIB INTO A BED !!!!!!! Big step for a big girl! Brad took off the side rail and she sat in her rocking chair and watched me organize her clothes. Once I was done, I fixed her a snack then she took her first NAP in her big girl bed. I had to go in there a couple of times to tell her to stop playing and go to sleep but that’s any every day thing anyway.

I finally decided to fix some lunch closer to 3? I think? Check it.

2 fried eggs, mixed veggies, 2 tablespoons red pepper dressing, and half a pink lady apple! I had to go back in Katie’s room to tell her to go to sleep… again… then fixed my snack (for a little later), got my Mom’s presents all ready then gave her a call to let her know I was ON MY WAY! Heh. I headed out the door to go walk to Mom’s and my Cousin was outside working on his Scooter and was heading over that way anyway so he gave me a ride over in his car. Mom and I talked on the porch and she got to open up her card/present… Mom RARELY cries but I think my card almost choked her up. We went inside and I got to see all her other birthday cards. We talked for a long while then my Cousin and Aunt came over with dinner for them… I ate my cottage cheese/soy protein/chocolate almond snack and it was AWESOME. Had a tiny bite of the chicken since Mom wanted me to try it, was really moist! We talked a bit longer then I got a ride back. Folded some clothes, fixed DINNER…. which was tuna, veggies, and tofu. I put a bunch of magazines on a rolling magazine rack for Katie and she is in HEAVEN. She loves books, magazines, etc so hopefully I’ve found something to keep her from constantly trying to push my buttons haha. Eventually fed Katie and then my Cousin dropped by again since Brad left earlier to go help him bring in a TV for Mom that a friend of hers gave her. Ummm he left and then we all just hung out until Katie’s bed time!!
Check out the big girl in her crib turned bed!
Brad read a little book to her and hopefully she’s getting ready to doze off to sleep.. I HOPE. We still watch her on the monitor like always, just to see what she’s doing. LOVE that monitor.

Just finished this AH-MAZING dessert not long ago…

Oikos chocolate greek yog, cinnamon, maca powder, 1 tablespoon peanut butter, and half a scoop of my soy protein powder that has vitamins & minerals added to it! Put it in the freezer for a bit…. ohhhhhhhh deffo a fav. SO CREAMY AND THICK, HOLY YUM.

I cannot EXPRESS how happy I am that my appetite is calming down. Plus Aunt Flo is really putting on a show… let’s just say I wanted to get out of church as soon as it was over ASAP… ugh.

GET READY FOR MONDAY!!!!!!!! I’m excited to get lots of exercise this week, wooohoo! Hope your weekend has been great! Know that God loves you. Thankful for my life.
