Another show week...Let the Craziness BEGIN!

Joe will be performing in The Hobbit this week.  We are very excited for 2 reasons.  First, we are so excited to see him perform.  He has been working so hard!  Second, we are looking forward for this to come to a close.  Although this experience for him has been awesome, he (and we) have learned lots.  We learned how time consuming something like this can be and how it can effect our entire family.  Most importantly, we noticed how worn out Joe became and how his grades were affected.

Tonight is the first dress rehearsal.  Here's a picture of him in his hat.  The hat, braids. and beard are all one piece.  We are so grateful to all of our friends who have purchased tickets and who considered coming.  What an amazing support group we are surrounded by.  God has certainly blessed us with so many great people!

Our weekend was busy; so much was done and we feel so good about that.  I don't know what I would do with out my husband.  He is undoubtedly our family's backbone.  He is a tremendous supporter of our boys and myself.  He did so many things this weekend after such a tough week at work.  This week will be even more crazy with the show and preparing for a HUGE factory sale at work.  I get this amazing feeling when I see the passion he has for our boys and for his job.  He takes so much pride in both these things.  All women should be as blessed as I am.

I'm very excited about a new project that I am working on with some friends.  I'm not going to say to much about it now since there is still much to do and sort out.  But the good news is, is that there are interested parties, a day of the week has been selected, and we all have common goals...we are now working on subject matter and a venue.  If everything falls into place we will have a great success story to share.

Diet and exercise this weekend...not bad on the food, could always be better on the weekends but got right back on track today.  Workouts were pretty fun actually.  Doing a couple alone during the week which is working out better then I expected.. There is a new program I am participating in where the trainer meets with a group once a month to do a workout and teach new exercises.  Then each week he emails us 4 workouts.  Once each member of the group emails him their workout results for the week he forwards the workouts for the net week.  Its done on a monthly basis.  We are now nearing the end of the first month and those who are wanting to try it for another month are meeting Monday.  I'm just throwing some things around in my crazy little mind before I commit to another month.

Time to watch the Presidential debate.  My 10 year old asked if he could watch it with me, I reluctantly agreed to it.  It should be interesting to hear what my child has to say...it always is haha.
