DRUM ROLL ...

Yipeeee!
Yea Raw! (ala Kea)
WHOOO HOOOO!

After my meeting I went to the grocery store, which really might be a great time to go ... early on a Saturday ... all the produce looked fabulous ... everything was stocked and after being at a Weight Watchers meeting I did some really great shopping.

I bought beets ... no, not from a can, but the real vegetable. I don't have a clue about how to cook them, but I am excited and inspired to try something new. They are an amazing color and from what I remember at some point in my childhood, they are quite yummy. I will take pictures and blog about my great beet adventure later.

I bought a ton of fruit and veggies ... pears, apples, mangoes, honeydew melon, pineapple, peppers, onions, sweet potatoes, squash, asparagus and jicima. Yumm-a-rama. I love that God made all of these amazing fruits and vegetables for me to eat ... (and nothing that has a mother and had to die a horrible death either) Thank you Jesus.

Gracie Lou is napping, Caloy is at Lowe's doing something manly, Matthew and I are getting ready to go for a run ... he will ride his bike along side ... he normally craps out in the middle at some point, but he has promised to ride the whole time.

The weather this weekend in Colorado is Divine. The sun is shining, the mountains are snow capped and glorious, the grass is green and flowers are starting to bloom. It is beautiful. We are going to plant in our garden today ... the whole family, digging holes, getting messy and playing in the sunshine. Fabulous!

Thank you Lord for my weight loss this week. Thank you for the 2 lbs that my body let go of finally. Thank you for the colorful produce You provided for my family at the grocery store. Thank you for our garden and the time together today as a family to start a grand tradition. I can hardly wait for the green leaves to poke from the soil. Thank you Lord for my friends and their never ending support and encouragement. Thank you Lord for the wisdom from my 6 year old who just said that "eating dead cow can make you sick". I love it! Hilarious. Thank you Lord for the sunshine ... how it will warm my body as I run, how it will make our garden grow and how it is just another Divine reminder of Your grace and love. Amen.
