How to Train your Dragon

This post is two fold in meaning for me. First, I saw the movie "How to Train you Dragon" and I have to say that I highly recommend this movie to any of you with or without kids. It was so dang cute. We should have seen it in 3D but thought it might be a little much for the littlest one we were with. It was so much fun to spend time in Idaho with my sister's cute family. I her kids more than I could ever tell you. It makes me wonder how much I will love my own kids when I have them if I can love other peoples kids this much! All of our nieces and nephews are getting really REALLY big and it feels like most of them were just born. Easter is so much fun. Helping the Easter Bunny out over the weekend was actually really fun. I look forward SO much to those holidays when we have kids. I LOVE seeing the joy on their faces!

Second, I am trying SO hard to "train" myself into going to the gym daily. I was doing so good before I got pregnant and then it all went to crap and now I am trying to get back into it again. It is so hard to control calories and feel motivated to go to the gym. I really REALLY want to start going back. I was counting calories before and going to the gym daily and now I have a hard time, battling with myself almost every night to go. When I go, I am so glad I did and say to myself that I am going to do it again tomorrow. When tomorrow comes I don't want to go again. I just ordered some jeans for a prize for going and if I can fit into them...I can buy them by the time they get here in a few weeks. They better fit! Then on to bigger goals of building up to at least a 5k and on from there. I really hope I can start to go and get the motivation I am looking for.

I also just have to say that I am so blessed to have the job that I have. I work with the most adorable kids and for the most part all the families treat me so well that I can't even imagine my life without those families in it. I also started to think a lot about how fortunate Jeff and I have been in this crappy economy. We have both been able to work almost as much or as little as we want (oh wait, that is just me that can work as little as I want...I should take advantage of that more often!) We have both had amazing health insurance and have been able to live our lives the way we choose. I can't imagine not being able to pay the bills. We are seriously so blessed and I am thankful everyday for that blessing. I am now 24 years old and can't believe so far what my life has become. If you ask me where I could have been ten years ago I would have guessed most things but not that I would be this happy with my life and my wonderful husband.

So wish me luck with the exercising dragon and also go see that movie and I hope everyone had a very very great Easter!

p.s. Jeff and I joined a dodgeball team. hahaha I know we are awesome, you really don't have to tell us! :) I also know you are jealous that you aren't in a dodgeball league!
