Thursday Morning Ramblings

First of all "Lady Bird" Johnson died yesterday at the age of 94, I wrote my first essay on her in 5th grade (with two more to follow, one in high school and one in college). For anyone who is not from Texas her Wildflower Center is amazing! Most Texans know she did many things around Texas to help make it beautiful and as she said "she wants to see Texas get to it's full potential". Which makes me laugh out loud because so many Texans think we are maxed on our potential...a story for another day.

Secondly I began to work on my "figure" yesterday....HAHAHA! After Claire, I waited until I had lost all my weight to run again, so by 1/4 of a mile I thought I was going to have a heart attack......seriously. I have 15 extra pounds on my body and goodness gracious I would think it was 65! I am not giving up though, I just think it is going to take me a while to get back up to 5 miles! The best part happened as I rolled down the hill after my stressful 1/4 mile run. One of my neighbors who is 76 was out in his garage riding his stationary bike at a rate I don't think I could go. He started chatting it up with me (I didn't mind the break), he informed me he could keep a more watchful eye out on the neighborhood if he excercised in the garage, therefore he moved all of his gym equipment out there. Mind you we live in South Texas where temperatures are RARELY under 90 let alone under 95.......I think it is FABULOUS that he can do it, I know I couldn't, I could barely run the 1/4 mile!

Third, baby is now a bit over 8 pounds! It seems like Claire wasn't 8 pounds for a while but this little girl is an eater!

Lasty but certainly not least, please pray for my sweet husband he is really under attack right now at his job, and while we are declaring that the store belongs to the Lord, it would be great to have more prayers over him. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your prayers!
