Guess what popped in for a visit today?  Mr. Anxiety…damn it!  Lucky for him it was only for a short stay.  It’s been nice that the anxiety hasn’t been around, was disappointed it happened today but I am more grateful that it’s been gone for the most part.

I think it kicked in during the service at church when they were encouraging us to attend the service the weekend of 9/11.  Just hearing that date makes me anxious.  It’s something I will definitely attend, but I’m not sure what to expect.  Knowing people who died that day makes it so much harder.  It’s so sad and I’m having trouble grasping that it’s been 10 years since it happened, it seems like it was yesterday.

Another great message at church today.  Our entire family went.  While Joe and Nick headed to the service for their age group, TJ, Justin, and I went to the regular service.  Justin has been struggling since we changed campuses. He doesn’t like the way they do things for his age group.  He loved it at the other campus, but it’s so far compared to our local campus.  So every Sunday is a struggle getting him to go, but he goes, he cries a little bit, but by the time the service is complete he is happy.  I always remind him that he was sad before we came, but he’s smiling now and that means spending time worshipping God really makes him happy.  I’m not sure if he’s buying it, but it’s the truth J

Joe decided he wants to audition for the Worship Team.  We asked him what he was going to play; he told us the microphone.  So…we will of course support him and call to get more information.  Singing isn’t really one of his stronger qualities, but with some practice he can definitely get to where he needs to be.

My sweet Nicholas is turning into a mouthy little tween who pay end up with a hand print on his cute little face.  What the hell happens to kids when they go through puberty…YIKES!  He’s lucky I’m a push over or else he would be in some serious trouble J

Looking forward to getting my new running routine underway this week and going to attempt trying out an exercise class with a new instructor at work…We’ll see how that goes.  Also wanting to spend some time with my rowing machine…I love that thing but I really don’t have time for it.  If I could get on there twice a week I’ll be happy.  I’m so excited that the weight is coming off again!  Need to keep pushing forward…I know a plateau is on the horizon.
