Vegas update....

So here are a few "random" shots of our Vegas trip. I really liked it a lot more than I thought that I would! The one of the kitchen is the typical kitchen in the houses, well the ones that still have a kitchen!! (More on that later!!) One is of oranges, Merideth LOVES oranges. Starwars M&M's to show Dale. A goal I had while we visited Vegas was to get photos to show the kids where we are moving, they are a little sad to be leaving Texas! Also is a photo of a view you can get from a house we looked at. And a photo of the drive up to the "cooler" weather in Vegas. Just 30 minutes out of town and the high only gets to 90 in the summer, I have a feeling we may be going to the Mtns a lot!!

Great view!! Now the hard part is just waiting to sell our house! We know where and what we want to buy in NV so we just wait...

We have another open house scheduled for tomorrow for Realtors and I hope to get some feedback on ideas of what can "move" our house! I better finish getting caught up around here!! E

Vegas...

We are headed to Las Vegas to look at houses and get an idea of the area we will be moving...I have never been.

Pray for us to have peace, and be mindful of what we really need, not what we want when it comes to our next home!!

Also please pray for our first and we pray ONLY open house this Sunday from 2-4! I am praying that we sell quick and have to move!!

I better go to bed that alarm clock will go off early!!

Oh and you can catch me on facebook, email is hard to check!! Or my cellular devise!!

THANK YOU!!!
Love, E

Please pray...

Fini Flight

WOW...I can't believe it is this time again!! But Stephen did do the flight earlier than he normally would have...we don't move until May. Right now things are slowing down...but we are busy still with school and keeping the house clean!! Gotta sell it!! We are headed to Vegas Sunday to look around. I have never been! Please pray that the house sales quickly! That we have peace and certainty about what and and where to live in Las Vegas. Lots more but I am gonna go and be a mommy!! Love, E

WW & Gym & The Baby's Birthday...

These are of "the baby". The one with the cake is her FIRST birthday! Today she is 33 and I am 34. Mother always loves the few months when we are so close in age...Happy Birthday Heather Belle!

Will it get easier or will it just become my new normal?

That is my question about eating better and working out. I have been doing WW since Tuesday...Gone to the gym 2 times. Am VERY frustrated that I have let myself get "here". UGH! I will not be defeated...

Okay so since I am so down I thought that I would make a list of wonderful things in my life...I know that there are many more but here are a few...

I get to be a stay at home wife and Mother.

I get to home school.

I LOVE my husband.

I adore my children.

My hair is getting longer and I can put it in a ponytail!

I love and enjoy my parents, I really do!

I have wonderful friends who hold me accountable to Jesus.

I got to eat Sushi yesterday and wonder if I had it again Saturday if it would be too soon to go back there!!

I live in a country where we have choices.

I have a relationship with My LORD and I hear Him, when I am still.

I am going to be still today...

Mostly today I am thankful that it is Heather Belles birthday. I don't remember there ever being a time where I didn't have her. She is my baby too. That is what we call her, "the baby". I adore and enjoy and LOVE her so much and miss her. She lives in Hawaii...When we move to Vegas we will be closer to her, this is a good thing about the move. I pray that Heather Belle has a great Birthday...I thank my parents for letting me have a baby before I was two!! I LOVE YOU BABY!!

Okay I better go and feed these kids I adore!!

WW

These will be my before photos...and they include my Daddy, Mother-who will reach goal in one week...she really does not need to loose weight, and my sister...Heather Belle...They are doing this with me.

So I begin it again!!

Weight Watchers...

...it is hard

to see how much I overeat...

BUT it will be great to see how I can be successful...

My parents and sister have joined me on this road to health.

I have a few goals...here are a couple...

Be healthy

Be wise about food choices

A long term goal is for exercise but since I am so overweight it will be hard to start running...so with anything that you begin that you want to last I am going to start with walking...YUCK. I like to eat, I love to eat a lot, and I really enjoy junk to eat. BUT I want to feel better and I want to do this the right way.

When Dale was a baby I did WW and was successful. I had a carrot so to speak...it was wanting to have another baby. Well I reached my goal, we had her and I didn't stay on plan or even for that matter any plan or path...well the one to the kitchen and take out but hey you can all see how great that has worked!! So I have a new goal...FEEL BETTER and be an example to the kids of what you should eat. Now I will still have sweets and my coffee. Just not so much of it, and when I do have those things to eat it will be limited.

I look forward to the new way of life...I don't think I will miss feeling draggy...but right now I do miss some FOOD! Oh dear Jesus Help me not to eat the kids!! I am hungy!!

I better go and read a book!!

Pray it goes well for us all!!!

To better health...

Master Manipulator

That could be what I call Merideth....but I don't want her to know I have caught on!

...

Overheard from the piano lesson this morning...
"Mrs. Logan I just missed you so much"
"Merideth you need to play the keys really softly, can you do that for me?"
"okay...but first I need to give you a hug"
"Aww Merideth I would love a hug"
Now before Merideth will do anything she has to hug, dance or twirl before she can do it...because..."I just missed you so much" And I am sure she did!

Excited dread...

This is the best term I can come up with getting ready to move. It means that I look forward to what Las Vegas will hold and the adventures we will have there. I know the Lord goes before our family, He has every time we have moved. That is exciting to think about. What is in store for us, our family of 4 there? The dread comes in when I think of leaving behind my friends here, being further away from dear friends that are truly family, but mostly I am going to miss my Family. I am so blessed to have a family I love, parents I ENJOY spending time with. I do enjoy my parents, I love that our children know them, and their Great Grandparents, that they know and love their cousins and Aunts and Uncles. I just dread being away. But I am excited too...
