GratiTuesday!

Tuesday's here again and the last Tuesday of January!!! Where did the month go?!
Things I am thankful for this week:

1. Sleep Talkin' Man, (http://sleeptalkinman.blogspot.com) he has kept me in stitches after my siblings introduced him to me!! HYSTERICAL! Seriously, check him out...he talks in his sleep and his wife records what he says each night and blogs it. Plain and simple and FUNNY! Be warned though, he does use profanity in his sleep and she blogs it as he says it, so there you go. But if you can get past the profanity. FUNNY!!!

2. Camden is using his words SO much more and is mimicking sounds more consistently! The other day he said a 4 word sentence even!! He had crawled in bed with me one morning upon waking and snuggled in next me and laid there for a minute when he suddenly looked over where Bob normally sleeps (but he was absent due to being on nights and hadn't gotten home quite yet) and he pops his head up and says: "Uh-oh mommy, where's daddy?" It was really really cute and I got all excited and praised him like crazy! :-) I'm just so thankful the tubes are doing their job and that he can actually HEAR!

3. FREE USE OF OUR REC CENTER!!! Why didn't I get my butt in gear and figure out I could work out in the morning before Bob went to work sooner?!?! I've been religiously working out since 2 weeks or so before Thanksgiving and I LOVE IT! I have a work out buddy, who I'm also ALWAYS thankful for and we have a great time! We workout at 5 am M-F for half an hourish and then I come home and do a 20 minute Yoga DVD on my own. When Bob is on nights, I just go in the afternoon when he gets up before work. It has been working out BEAUTIFULLY! I feel good and I actually started RUNNING!!!! WHAT?!?! I KNOW!!! I've never ever ever been a runner never liked it never wanted to do it. So one day a couple a weeks ago I decided I was going to give it a try and see if I could do it. I hopped on the treadmill and did it! I couldn't believe it...I am now able to run for 25 minutes straight on the treadmill and I'm trying to get myself ready for a 5K...my first EVER!! I'm excited!

4. HAWAII TRIP!!! Bob has officially scheduled the entire trip! We are BOOKED and ready to go! April 29th can't get here fast enough!!! YIPPEE!!! Can you tell I'm excited?? hehe!

5. My sister has made the list yet again!! She is coming this weekend and will be watching the boys for me Saturday while I go to visit with my two girlfriends in Lawrence! Thank you sister! LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! P.S. The boys are ALWAYS excited to see their Aunt Chwissy!!! :-)

6. My boys. Even after I yell at them, (then I apologize, I'm so bad about losing my temper too quickly...something I'm TRYING to work on) they are quick to forgive me and I love them so much for loving me. They are the best! Thank you boys for giving your parents the unconditional love they need and cherish and know it is goes both ways!

Man, I was wordy today! I guess I had a lot to say. :-) Thanks for checking in!
