Everything else....

Let's see...Basketball is over. I didn't take any pictures because I decided I would just buy some from Russ Wilson. He takes great pictures of the boys and his turn out way better than mine. Which reminds me I need to get them ordered! We missed a lot of our games due to snow. I guess Jr High games do not mean as much as HS games because I think we only made up one that was snowed out. Basketball season is always so long. The last couple of weeks of it Logan was looking forward to getting back into football. So he is back in off season football and track is getting started. Other than sports and school Logan spends most of his time these days w/Lexie. Which is ok. She is a good sweet girl. He is getting ready to take his permit test. We are going on spring break. I will have 2 driving. Heaven help me. He also has a birthday coming up in less than 2 weeks. 15!! Crazy how fast time flies.

Madison has been busy w/church and school. She has a lot of hard classes this year so she spends a lot of time studying. I'm really proud of her for being so focused on school. I wish I had been more like her back when I was in HS. I didn't think as far ahead and she does. I'm also very proud of all the ways she has grown w/God. He is going to do amazing things through her. She is very loving and giving. I was told the other day that she gets that from me, but truth is I got it from my mom and I'm glad Madison has the compassion for others as we do. Of course we can't take all the credit because I'm a firm believer that God has a hand in it all as well. She will be 16 in a few months and we are planning a girl's shopping trip to Dallas. It is just going to be Madi, Taylor (one of her best friends) and hopefully mom is coming w/us. Just the 4 of us having a little fun. She is very excited.

Randy is still into running. He has a few half marathons planned for this year and I think a full one as well. He is wanting to work his way up to the 50/100 mile ones. I think that is crazy but we all know once he gets focused on something that's it! The nice part of it is we go to the gym and military park together and he has been an awesome encouragement to me!

As for me, I am dieting once again! Ugh, sucks but between the gym and eating much better I have lost 17 lbs since Jan 6th. My hope is to be down 32 more lbs by July. I really want to get the weight off. 1. I do not want to have to take blood pressure medicine, 2. I do not want to become diabetic and there is way to much of it in my family to not be concerned 3. I REALLY want to feel better about myself. When I see myself in pictures I'm ashamed that I look the way I do. I just want to be me...this is not me 4. I am going to be 38 years old this year...seriously. The only thing that is going to keep me from completely losing it come 40 is if I feel better about me. So I'm off to a slow but good start! I have faith that I can do this!!!
