Year 29 Week Two

I survived my first week at Lindhurst! Only 10 more weeks to go! Overall it was a good week, but there were a few who really gave me a run for my money! I am confident, however, that I will not only survive, but thrive. "I can do ALL things through Christ who gives me strength."

In the midst of a busy week, Mr. Strong surprised me with a date night. He planned the whole thing. All I had to do was show up. First we ate at an Italian restaurant and then we went to the movies to watch "Oz, the Great and Powerful". It was a very delightful, refreshing night.

As far as exercise is concerned, I have been slacking. First I was sick, then I was busy, and then came the excuses. Friday I finally decided enough was enough and I headed out on my bike and then followed it up with a run. On Saturday I did the same thing, but threw a little twist in the mix by having the 8 year old tag along on the run on his new Razor. He was a trooper and did great on the 2 mile run! Perhaps I've found my new coach?!

Before our run, C enjoyed playing in his new train.  He's our train boy!
Sunday was Easter and we spent the afternoon at Mr. Strong's aunt's house. This was my first Easter celebration at her house, but if Fourth of July or Christmas was any indicator of what was to come, I knew it was going to be a real treat! One of the things I was looking forward to most was the "Big Kid Egg Hunt".  This included eggs filled with money.  I was right, it was a blast and something I am looking forward to doing next year!  I am so blessed to be married into such an awesome family!


Ready, set, GO!
