Last Saturday
The last Saturday before I have to go back to work.
I don't want to go.
I work as a Child and Family therapist and Infant Mental Health therapist at a local non-profit mental health agency. I am not sure what I thought I was getting into ten and a half years ago when I started there? Wanting to save the world one child at a time? But honestly my batting average is pretty good, over .400 at least! This makes me a really great ball player, and as my supervisor once told me, a pretty good therapist as well. I just wish I could stay at home with my children and work with the families that I really WANT to work with and who do the hard work that is needed to help repair their families. But alas, until my wonderful husband is transferred to somewhere exotic and exciting, I have agreed to stay employed.
Today was a good day. Yoga, and then outing with the family, and home to make Italian Wedding soup (Mom made the delicious meatballs) with fresh (made by these two hands) bread. Holy COW!! They were both amazing.

Mingus Lake Hike
I had never heard of a lake being up here so we got out of the car, crawled under the 'road closed' sign, and decided to take a leap of faith and hoped it works out. I have been up that way many times but never new that there was an actual lake up there! We saw it today for the first time, frozen. I am not sure how I missed this lake up here? I am glad that we randomly decided to come up to MML and it turned out to be this beautiful. We took it slow as Conor was discovering everything and Thomas kept getting stuck in snow drifts. It was hilarious until they started to get cold, wet, and noses were running. Thankfully it was only about 1/2 a mile or so until the lake and it turned out the be frozen! We quickly found a piece of beach covered in pine needles and warmed ourselves in the sun! It was heavenly. We talked, shot nerf arrows, ate lunch, and soaked up some vitamin D. It was lovely. It was also very cold and we were not dressed in the best clothing. Oh well, we survived. The boys even want to go on another trip/hike tomorrow! Thomas and I laughed today, a lot. Big belly, throat open, head thrown back laughter. It was wonderful. It was Conor's first hike in which he walked the entire time. This was not easy for him and there was some age appropriate whining toward the end when he was tired. Thomas was brave enough to walk across the frozen lake and I was quite impressed.
We got cold, we got wet, we had runny noses, and we loved every moment. I love being with my boys. I am a blessed woman. I hope tomorrow will produce the same symptoms of fresh air and exercise!
***Oh by the way....Thomas fell through the frozen lake and had to hike the whole way back soaking wet. And he still managed to smile, have a good time, AND ask to go again. My boy is coming around :)

New Year New Challenges
About a year ago I joined a small, new, fitness studio called 'Fusion of Movement'. I never realized how much of an impact it would have on me and my family! Taking classes there have changed our lives; yoga, kempo, and now I am going back to achieve an old dream...to dance again! Lyrical dance at FOM. I am so excited! And to top it all off my wonderful husband has promised to join me in their 90 day challenge. I am nervous, excited, and happy to be making these changes.
I want to be healthier not only in 2014, but forever. I want to live at least another 50 years! To see my children grow and be the best grandmother ever!
My 40th birthday is in 17 days. Still processing my feelings about this monumental birthday. I will speak more to that at another time.
