Denver

It's snowing in Denver right now.  I wish I were there to experience it first hand.  I really wish we could go visit during this holiday season.  Unfortunately we don't have the thousands of dollars it would take to go visit.  We don't believe in spending money we don't have so credit cards are out of the question.  So we're stuck here in California with no snow...

Twilight

"About three things I was absolutely positive.

First, Edward was a vampire.

Second, there was a part of him - and I didn't know how dominant that part might be - that thirsted for my blood.

And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him."

So some of the girls, sorry Young Women,  at youth were talking about this book, like really, really talking about it.  And they are making it into a movie (in theaters today) so I decided to get it.  I ordered it from Amazon on Monday.  It came on Wednesday afternoon (I know, super fast).  I started reading the 495 page book immediately.  Currently I am on page 390!  I am going to see the movie on Sunday with my friend Nikki, her daughter and my daughter (It's PG 13).   I have no doubt that I will be done with the book by then.  As a matter of fact, there's no work or school tomorrow so I probably won't go to sleep until I'm finished!!!

Is it working?

So I started taking Alli a while ago in an effort to stop gaining weight from my medication.  I am happy to report that it seems to be working.  I only weight my self about every 10 days or so, but I seem to have stopped gaining weight and have even lost a couple of pounds!  I don't always remember to take the Alli so I think this is pretty good progress.  I actually forgot to take some with me to the retreat, but I didn't gain any weight over the weekend!  If you've ever been to Silver Spur you know that is an accomplishment.  I'm not sure what else to say here...

Out of the box

This weekend was couples retreat up at Silve Spur.  What a great time!  4 couples from our church went up.  Here is a group picture of 3 of the couples.  Adam and I didn't really like the speaker so we ditched 2 of the sessions to have time to our selves.  we went in to town on Saturday night and ate dinner out.  Not that the food at Silver Spur is bad, they were just serving really rare prime rib and i'm not a prime rib person to begin with let a lone a rare prime rib kind of person.  So we went out.  It was really nice.  We also went for a hike on Sunday morning.  We found the famous waterfall and had a really good time.  I aslo got to ride the giant swing!  What a blast!  I'll post a picture of that, too.  Overall it was a really great weekend.  I can't wait until next year!

I'm Tired

All the time.  I'm always tired.  I sleep enough.  I go to bed between 8 and 9.  I get up between 7 and 8.  And I'm tired.  From the moment I get up until I go to bed.  I'm tired.  This has been going on for a couple of weeks now.  I don't know what to do.  I'm in a funk.  And I'm tired...
