Working Out and Work-Out!

So I finally started going to the Y - great deal through the college - and also started a 5:30am workout with gals from church. And wow!! I'm so sore, I can barely lift my hand to my mouth - that's a good thing right? On top of getting up early every day - I am so NOT a morning person - I had a project to complete: writing quizzes and working out the solutions for Calc III!!! OK, let me just say that after a twenty year gap, I was amazed that I still remembered this stuff! And no matter how much I love math, it's not healthy to eat, sleep, breathe, even DREAM (yes. I actually dreamed up some problems in my sleep......) math. But it's finally over!!! Yeah!!!! I feel so done - hope it was worth the sleepless nights and family sacrifices for the past 3 weeks.
So, on a brighter note, Sariah did awesome at their championship volleyball game!!! They were so amazing - even though Sariah doesn't think she did that great (modest, isn't she?) Can't wait to see her in action in the future.... wondering of fitting it into my schedule for fun somehow, but wait....FUN???.......what's that???? Anyone else feel that way? I would love to play sports just for fun, but isn't that what we spend hours watching our kids do now? Are our days really over??? No! Please say it isn't so......

Nephi's Post-Op

Many thanks to those who fasted and prayed for Nephi. He went in for minor scope and possible hernia, and yes, he did have one and they stitched it back together. It was hard to see him, so tiny and thin, but within 24 hours, he quit taking the pain meds, and in four days, you couldn't tell that he even had surgery - little tyke! He's not being too careful, but then, that's Nephi.
Ironically, on the very day of his surgery, he was going to get a Student of the Month Award for Citizenship - that's Nephi! It was postponed for a week, but I still missed it :(
Needless to say, we are proud of him and his great example.

Happy New Year!

To all my family and friends, may your 2009 be filled with hope, love and many blessings. We love you all and wish you the very best in the coming year......
