Weekending + Feeling Motivated + I’m Dreading This.

(leggings, shoes, sweatshirt)
Brooke is back to indoor soccer practices, which means I’m feeling motivated to lift at the gym that is right next to the practice. In my opinion, the rowing machine is easily the toughest piece of fitness equipment out there. I warmed up on the rowing machine first and then did the lifting thing, thanks to ChatGPT telling me what to do.

Our Saturday involved putting Halloween away. It takes hours and hours, but it’s worth it, although a fresh, clean yard feels pretty good right about now. We are often asked where we store it all for the other 10 months of the year, and thankfully, we have a shed from the previous owners to store it in.


Eight hours later, and it was World Series time!


Andrew went to work on Sunday, and our teens now sleep in until what feels like midday. So, it was just me and the littles watching the New York City Marathon. Hellen Obiri looked incredible during that final mile, where she broke away and went on to set a new course record of 2:19:54.


We went out with my sister and her family for a mini-hike.


Isn’t it amazing how some sun on your face can make you feel like you’ve got an entirely new battery?


You guys. BECK IS FIVE YEARS OLD TOMORROW. I can’t believe we are here.


One of my favorite life experiences was waiting until Beck was born to find out whether he was a boy or a girl.


Finished up the weekend with cookies at the park before the sun went down at 4 pm;)


And now for the dreading part… next week. I have to get another gum graft. Long story short–> I had a benign tumor as a teenager in my mouth, but that area has struggled ever since they took it out. I’ve had to do this a few times, but they keep failing after a few years… REALLY hoping this one works out. I’ll be on a soft food diet for a bit, and I’m dreading this all so much because I know how bad it hurts (they are taking the gums from the roof of my mouth)!
