Our church has a ladies softball team and has for years amd for about the past 5 or 6 years Phil has coached the team. Last year when they started playing I would go walk at the park. I had just enough time to walk the long path at the park and get back to the ball fields before they finished the game. Raeanna kept asking me why I didn't play with them and I always wished that I could. I LOVED to play when I was younger but it had been 24 years since I had played any kind of sport. So I kept working on losing the weight and kept on walking as much as I could and I am very very very excited to say that I am actually playing softball this year with the ladies from <a href="http://www.beldenbaptistchurch.com/" target="_blank">Belden Baptist Church</a>. I 'm not very good but at least I am out there trying. I have either been playing right field or catcher and if I could learn to run I might even be called a half way good player. I'm having fun, spending time with some wonderful ladies and getting to hang out with my husband. AND as of this moment we are undefeated! I may not have lost any more weight but I can tell that my body is changing shapes and I owe it all to walking and softball. I actually kept this promise. <br />
<br />
Now to the unkept promise. I have talked and talked and talked about wanting to do the GumTree walk/run this year but seeing how it is next weekend it's justwww.beldenbaptistchurch.com not gonna happen. I honestly don't think that there is anyway possible that I could walk/run 6.2 miles. I took to much of a break between Dec and March in walking and no more weight has come off. Plus it just scares me to think about having to run/walk that much. I have several friends that will be doing it and I am very proud of them and I wish them all the luck in the world. Hopefully next year I will be out there with you.<br />

I am convinced that walking this what is helping me lose. When it started getting colder here I started walking indoors at the outlet mall. It's really close to work and never busy so its a great place to walk. Then things started getting busy at work and in life so the walking totally stopped in December. I would ride my excerise bike at the house but its just not the same. You tend to not work so hard on the bike when you are watching tv. But the last week or so we have had some really nice weather so I have been hitting the park and walking outside. Its one of the things that I have really started enjoying on the weight lose journey, especially when Brady or Rae walks with me. We always have a really good time. But needless to say I am VERY VERY happy with this 2 pound lose.

It has been almost a year since I started this journey and I am down 65 lbs. For that I am very proud and thankful. And maybe today is just been one of those days but today I am not likeing the fact that I am doing this. <br />
<br />
I am stuck in my progress. I have not lost any weight in about a month <strong>BUT</strong> I have not gained any either. I'm still keeping up with my calories on My Fitness Pal and I am still exercising at least three times a week, mostly riding my indoor bike. The wonderful Mississippi weather is making it hard to walk outside like I like to do. Plus since the time has changed it is dark by the time that I get off work and there is just really not a good place to go walk after dark except for the mall and that is not where I like to walk. I have been going over to the VF Factory outlet some at lunch and walking and that's ok but I would much rather walk outside. Plus I have got to get some new shoes! I hoping I can find some after Christmas. I can honestly say that my legs, knees nor feet hurt after I walk so I am hoping that new shoes won't change that but the fact that the bottoms of my shoes have worn out reminds me that I do need new ones. <br />
<br />
My plan for the remainder of the year is just to stick to my plan and to not go over board with eating. I feel like that that is completly doable for me and I am actually enjoying exercising. It's my "me time". Whether it is walking at lunch or riding my bike that is time that I am "alone". I may just be in the next room riding but with my music going or listening to the bible I am in my own world for at least 30 minutes. When January rolls around I will start hard and heavy trying to get things going again. I've got to do some tweaking to my eating and I just don't know what to do. A co-worker has lost a lot of weight doing the "slow carb" diet, bascially just eating alot of meat and no foods that are white or could be white. I am thinking about doing away with breadsof every kind and uping my water intake. That is just one of the many ideas that I have rolling around in my head. <br />
<br />
Rae has started basketball this season. They had their first game this past Saturday and you could really tell that it. She was huffin and puffin after just a few minutes of running up and down the court. She was walking with me alot but once again since the time has changed she hasn't been going with me. That's another reason for me to find somewhere good at night to go. I don't want her to grow up and be embrassed by her weight. She's not really fat just thick but she is also about a foot taller than all of her friends. At 9 she is a 4" 11 1/2". I believe that she is going to be tall and if she is she will get it honestly. There are lots of tall people on both sides of our family. Brady is just about to pass me height wise. I still have him but just a tiny bit and I am hanging on to it for dear life. He just turned 13 (how can that be possbile) and has slimmed up so much. The pants that we bought him at the first of the school year are now to big! Which is a really good thing except they keep falling off of him.<br />
<br />
Phil--I love that man but I truly wish that he would get on board of this weight loss journey with me. I know that part of his problem is that I keep buying things at the grocery store that I shouldn't and he keeps eating them. Normally when he sets his mind to doing something there is no stopping him. And I love that about him. I need to learn to be an encourager for him instead of a nagger to him. I love him just the way that he is but for his health I would love to see him lose some weight. It would be so much better for his back and his sleep. He has to sleep on a CPAP machine and recently his doctor order a oxygen meter for him to wear at night. When he wore it that night his oxygen level was <strong>NOT GOOD AT ALL</strong>. It was really low like in the 70's. This really scares me. I know that I really have no room to fuss at someone about their weight but I really hope that he will join my on this journey. I might even have to change up this blog some and start posting on a regular basis if he does. <br />
<br />
The Gum Tree--I am actually starting to think that I will not be ready for it by May. I have tried to start the C25K program a couple of times and I just physically can not do it yet. Maybe thing will change enough after the first of the year so that it will start being easier for me to do. I really hope so because as scary as running a 10K is to me it is something that I really would like to do.<br />
<br />
Goals--I hit my first goal several months ago and I am only 8 lbs away from my next one. That goal is to weigh what I weighed when I got pregnant with Rae. I am close but not there yet. The next goal is to weigh what I did when I got pregnat with Brady. That's 30 lbs lower than the previous goal. Next will be what I weighed when we got married, 20 lbs lower that the previous goal and then another 30 lbs and I will be at what I weighed when we got married. <strong>WHEN</strong> I get to that weight, if I don't lose another ounce that will be ok. I will technically still be overweight by about 40 pounds based on what all the charts say but I can honestly say that when I met Phil I was happier with what I weighed and how I looked than when I graduated high school and that was 70lbs lighter! So I am 88 pounds away from my final goal. In my opinion that is in sight because I have already lost 64 so what's another 88 after this? <br />
<br />
<strong>I CAN DO THIS!!</strong> And would love to do this with Phil.<br />

Yesterday was a great day! Phil has been sick so much in the last couple of weeks. He has had so many stomach problems and they just will not go away. He has had every test done that you could do or at least that we know about and they can't figure out what is going on. He and I both really feel like its his gallbladder but every test has come back normal. His mother and sister both had/have stomach problems so we feel like his is right in line with theirs. He goes and sees the dr on Sept 6th so I hope and PRAY that we can convince the dr to just go ahead and take the gallbladder out!! I think this would solve so many of his problems. A couple of years ago we found out that he was allergic to garlic so we try to stay away from anything that has garlic in it but that seems to not matter anymore. It doesn't matter what he eats he gets sick. I said all of this to say that he actually felt some better yesterday. The day started off rough for him but by the time I got home from work he was better. He grilled some wonderful chicken last night for supper and then he and Rae went fishing while I walked. Rae doesn't quite understand that fish don't always bite when you throw the hook in the water! </div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
But I did get my walk/jog in last night. It was the perfect weather to do it and I walked 1.56 in 30 minutes. I know thats not a very fast time but it is very comfortable for me. I started doing the C25K last night, well I did a modified version of it. I believe their were two times that it told me to run that I walked. But I was still very proud of myself. My goal is to do this at least three - four times a week and just progress the way that I can. But I have got to get some new tennis shoes! Mine are about 5 years old and are worn out. I've been doing some research on shoes and trying to find the right ones. So hopefully we can do that soon. But I will not let that stop my from the C25K. I believe that once I get used to jogging that it will be something that I enjoy. Great tunes, great weather, great feeling!<br />

I have come to my first "weight loss slump". Since starting this in Jan I have been really excited about changing my life and I don't know if I have ever been this excited before. The only other time that I have lost any amount of weight was in 1997 and I went on WW and lost 53 pounds. But something happened this week, I just didn't have it in me. I still kept up with my calories and logged them in everyday and I never went over my limit but that is about all I can say. I had been doing really good about exercising, doing something everyday. But last week all I did was mow the yard and I did't even mow all of it. So when I stepped on the scale Sunday morning I didn't see the drop in weight that I have seen every other time that I have weighed. It acually went up .5 a pound. But thats ok. I stated fresh today! I am making sure that I am drinking my water all 64ozs, I have logged everything that has went into my mouth, and I will walk/jog tonight. Maybe that was what was wrong. School started back and my walking buddy hasn't been with me the last couple of times that I walked. Its just so hard to get home from work, get supper going, clean up and get out the door and still have time for homework and baths. Of course Phil is really good about having the kids do their homework when they get home and he does most of the cooking but my walking buddy is really good about not getting all of her homework done when she is supposed to. <br />
I will take this past week and know that it is in the past. I am still 56 pounds lighter than I was this time last year and I am still looking toward the end goal. It is still a long way off but thats ok. The slower the better. I still plan on doing the GumTree in May and I know that I just need to keep that goal in mind and I can do it. I think that God has given me really great weather the last several days so that I would get back out their and start back doing something that I have truly learned to enjoy. <br />

Happy Weight Loss!!Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02679898608959990935noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104135904835785934.post-61778865465443425312012-08-02T14:33:00.000-05:002012-08-02T14:33:57.786-05:00The post with no title!I guess its pretty safe to say that I suck at blogging! I really don't know why I haven't blogged anything-maybe because we have a a really low key boring summer. And that has been ok with me. It has been so hot this summer, almost to hot to do anything. I think that the most exciting thing that we did all summer was VBS at church. <br />
<br />
I have a ton of stuff to catch up on, especially picture wise, but the usb cord to our camera seems to not won't to work. As soon as we fix it or buy another one I will have a ton of pictures to upload. <br />
<br />
The great weight loss project of 2012 is going great. I am down 54 pounds so far and I could not be happier. Some of the pants that I had that I could not even dream about getting into are getting to BIG!!!! That is AWESOME! I still a long way to go but slow and steady will be just fine with me. We were able to get an exercise bike from a guy that I work with for a really good price so it has been really great to be able to keep up with exercising while it has been so hot. I love walking and I miss it but it has just been to hot. Rae and I have been a couple of times this summer after it has cooled down some and last night was one of those nights. We actually got a nice rain yesterday afternoon so it cooled things down quite a bit. She and I have started jogging some. I am trying to do a modified version of C25K. We walked for 22 mins and jogged for 3 last night. We were only short jogging by 3 mins so I am proud of us. But I am sore today. I've got to get some new tennis shoes that will be good for jogging. Mine are about 4 years old and are just about wore out. I have this crazy goal of being able to run/jog the GumTree 10K next May. I have no problem walking 1.5 miles in 20-25 minutes but that is gonna have to change a whole bunch for me to be able to do the GumTree. 6 miles is a long way when you are on your feet the entire time. But I know that if I keep up the work, keep doing what I am doing and pray about it that God will help me do this. I just can't wrap my head around the fact that if I keep up the pace that I have been on since starting this in Jan that by GumTree time I could be down another 80 lbs by then. I know that at some point my body is gonna refuse to work with me but I am going to try my best to not let that stop me. I have always thought about doing the GumTree but I've never been this close to actually doing it. We'll see. May is still a long way off!<br />Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02679898608959990935noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104135904835785934.post-11413064993361957902012-05-21T21:20:00.000-05:002012-05-21T21:20:24.130-05:00I RanI ran today. I didn't run far and for a long time. BUT I RAN! Brady has started walking with Rae and I and tonight after we had made the trek up the hill and as we started down I ran. Brady didn't like it that I was passing him so he did his best to stop me. But I ran. Then I ran again. Again not for a long time or distance but I ran. And it didn't kill me. I didn't pass out and I really didn't get winded. I believe that this running thing might turn in to something that I enjoy. 43 years old, overweight and I ran. The weight is slowly coming off. It seems that my body has finally realized what I have been doing for the past 5 months and said "Not any more". I have been hungrier lately than I normally have so I am trying to change what I am eating. Hopefully it will help. I also have found that having friends also on the <a href="http://www.myfitnesspal.com/" target="_blank">My Fitness Pal</a> keeps me in check. Seeing them post how they were under there calories for the day and how much weight they have lost since the last weigh in is very encouraging, especially when they are family.<br />
<br />
I ran today. On a hot, humid, May night with two of the three most important people in my lives with me.<br />

He tested really well and told us that he would like to join the 6th grade band. This came as a complete surprise because he had never showed any interest in music. He has a great voice when he sings, if you are lucky enough to hear him. So the band it was! He started out at the first of the year playing the trombone but at the Christmas break he told us that he wanted to change and start playing the Tuba. Whatever he wanted to play was fine with us as long as he was happy doing it. They had a couple of concerts this year, the first one before Christmas and they had one just a couple of weeks ago. This was his first concert to play in while playing the tuba and he did a GREAT job. <br />

Last weekend was the schools band banquet. When I was filling out the permission form for Brady to go I noticed that parents could come too. He begged us not to come. I guess it wouldn't be cool to be seen at the banquet with your parents! So I told him that this time we would not go. We had never had this experience before so we didn't know what the night would be like. We drop him off at school that night and notice that there are alot of other parents there with there kids staying for the banquet. Phil nor I was dressed to go in or we would have stayed and gone even though he didn't want us to. So after we dropped him off we went and ate supper and then visited with Papaw, Barbara, Bob and Adam until it was time to go get him. We get to the school and they are not quite finished yet so we talk to some friends to ours as we waited. When the kids started coming out Phil walked to the door to get Brady and when they start toward the car Phil is holding something in his hand.<br />

Can you believe it???? Out of the 60 kids in the 6th grade band Brady, My Brady got the MOST OUTSTANDING BAND STUDENT!!!! AND WE WERE NOT THERE TO SEE IT!!!!!arghhhhhhhh!<br />
I felt like the worst parent in the world. They only gave out two awards to the 6th grade class and he got the best one! I told him to forget ever going to another banquet by himself for the rest of his high school years. I am not missing out on another award. <br />

It was called My Fitness Pal and it had an app that you could download on your iphone. I checked it out a little and thought that it would be an easy thing to do. So I downloaded it to my phone and for some reason this time trying to lose weight just clicked. I have "tried" to lose weight for many many years and nothing ever stuck. Right after I downloaded it I was hanging up clothes and noticed that the one pair of jeans that I had was just worn out. I also knew that I had about 6 pairs hanging in my closet that I could not get on. So on January 9 I decided that I was once and for all gonna lose this weight. I have been doing this since then and so far I have lost around 30 pounds. That is a long way from where I need to be BUT I am alot closer to my goal than I was this time last year. </div><div align="center">When I started this I didn't weigh myself. I just went by what it was the last time that I weighed which was about a year ago. I wish, wish, wish that I had of gotten a correct weight. I didn't measure myself either and I really wish that I had. </div><div align="center">I read on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a> a sign that someone had posted:</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><img alt="It takes 4 weeks for you to notice your body changing...and 12 weeks for the rest of the world to notice. Give it 12 weeks. Don't quit!!!!" class="PinImageImg" src="http://media-cache6.pinterest.com/upload/219972763018937351_UwB7n0Iq_b.jpg" style="height: 120px;" /></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">This is my 12th week.</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Some people have noticed and some have not. BUT I CAN TELL! Jeans that would not even go over my hips now fit really good and and very comfortable to wear. I have on a pair of those today and that might even be a little lose. </div><div align="center">I actually worked in the yard last week for over an hour. Last summer we tried to pick up sticks out of the yard after a storm and after about 5 minutes I was so winded and my legs hurt so bad that I had to stop. BUT I did last week. And felt really good afterwards. I have also been using the Map My Walk app on my phone. One of the great things about <a href="http://www.mapmywalk.com/">Map My Walk</a> is it maps whatever route you walk and it will keep up with your stats. It will tell you how long you have walked, what distance, how many calories you have burned and what pace you are walking at. This is the night that we worked in the yard:</div><div align="center"><br />

</div><div align="center">One of the other great things about the weight lose is that Rae and I have been talking walks together several times a week. Well I walk and she rides her bike. She loves being outside and I love spending time with her. We have walked at Veterans and Ballard Parks, to Elvis Presley Lake from Barbara's house and up and down the road by our house. </div><div align="center"><br />

<div align="center">I also use the Pedometer app. It will keep up with the steps you take, how long you have walked, speed, and distance. These two programs never give the same information.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have been trying really hard since Jan to do this and I have to say that I am quite proud of myself. I have goals set all along the way and I am very very close to my first goal. I don't really have a final number that I want to weigh. As long as I am happy and healthy then that is good for me. I was happier with myself when Phil and I met than I was when I graduated high school. I only weighed 130 then. I know that I probably will never be that size again and that is OK. I tell Rae that no one will ever know what you weigh or what size you wear unless YOU tell them so as long as you are happy and healthy then that is OK. She has actually started slimming up some since I have started this. She has become my little work out buddy and for that I am thankful. </div><div align="center"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Rae's birthday is Feb 16. It is so hard to believe that she is already 9. There was just so much going on around her birthday that we were just now able to have her a party. But today was the perfect day to have a party. We started on short notice with the party. We didn't decide until this past Monday to have it today. I think that she had a good time. It was a small party but they all seemed to have fun.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">I got this idea off of Pinterest. And it is a really cute idea BUT you need to make sure that you have stickers that are big enough. These were the right height but they were not thick enough. They would not stick to the canvas! So the girls ended up using a paint pen and sharpies to write their name on the canvas. I guess next time I need to try the project before I do it at a party.</span></td></tr>

It was Cool and the Gang and they were in Starkville. It was on a school night because I did everything in my power not to have to go to this concert. It wasn't that I didn't want to go but I was going with two couples, Jima and Tim and Andy and Anita. Going to a concert when you are single, going with two couples and one of those couples being your sister and her boyfriend was not how I wanted to spend my night. But Momma made me go. The night started off kinda rocky when Andy almost back down the hill in our front yard. But I guess it turned in to a good night.</div><div style="text-align: center;">ANYWAY....</div><div style="text-align: center;">What the title is really about is Phil's birthday. Its not actually until the 25th but because of everything going on this month we celebrated it early. Friday night the 16th we went to Bob and Barbara's and had the Willis party. We always have so much fun when we all get together. We eat what the birthday person wants, they get what ever they want for dessert and then you take your chances when you open up the birthday cards. If its a funny card you HAVE to read it out loud. We have had some FUNNY ones over the years. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

He has been there for 13 years and is having to retire because of his health. If it had been up to him, he would have never left. He really loves his job and the people that he worked with. You could tell from the crowd that greeted him at the door just how much he was loved. They had him a beautiful cake and some going away gifts. It was really a special occasion and I'm glad that we all got to be a part of it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Every Saturday since early December we have had a basketball game to go to. Rae's season came to an end in February. The very next Saturday we had the AWANA games in Southaven. Then last Saturday when I had the opportunity to sleep as late as I wanted what time did I wake up????? 7:30!<br />
<br />
We found an old Nintendo system that we had and Phil and Brady played some of the old games for awhile. Rae was watching a movie in her room until she figured out what was going on in the living room and then decided she wanted to play also. <br />

I had taken her lamp shade and tried to "fix" it. Originally it was pink and white. She decided at some point that she wanted to write on it. I tried to cover it up with orange paint but when you turned the lamp on you could still see the words under the paint. So I had saw online where someone had made a ruffled lamp shade (wish I could remember where and I would link to it but they are all over Pinterest). It was pretty cute until the shade pulled off of its frame. I was in Dirt Cheap last week and found a lamp shade for $2. It was a little big for her lamp but for $2 who cares! So I turned a plain white lamp shade into a pretty (at least in my opinion) ruffled lamp shade.<br />

I was gone a LONG time!! I never meant to stop blogging. I guess life just got in the way.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope I can catch up on the last 3 1/2 months. </div><div style="text-align: center;">So here goes with a condensed update.</div><div style="text-align: center;">AG turned 1 on October 14. Jason and Amber had a bday party for her at there house on the deck and they could not have order a prettier day.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Phil and I had the privileged of doing AG's cake. </div><div style="text-align: center;">And if I can brag on us I think that we did a fairly good job. I've learned when we do things like this that its better for me to just listened to Phil and follow his directions cause things always work out better if I do. But don't tell him that cause I don't want him to know that he is usually right. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Phil and I did another cake (mostly Phil) for Jordan's football homecoming party.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then there was Halloween. Brady and Rae have not dressed up for Halloween in several years. For the last three years our church has had a fall festival on Halloween and we have always worked it. This year was no different. Phil, Barbara, Bob, Adam, Brady and myself worked the ring toss booth. Rae had several friends from school that came so she was playing all night. I think that they said that we had around 800 people that came through the festival!! Each year it seems to get bigger and bigger. This is an awesome outreach program that the church does. It makes me proud to be a small part of this. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFnwDavGmEsDDJAUod3KWlNUq3LniVoh170MIeq0feWIKLZkHVVKm1lcIJ5pauz0Fb7rSHqWlJujyfSvLdFP3nGsBvunVim2K7HrOk0-dZ5eGZoyGRq5g4UxcbVv-QTHbSDoOqk9uthdo/s1600/PHONE+087.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="cssfloat: left; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFnwDavGmEsDDJAUod3KWlNUq3LniVoh170MIeq0feWIKLZkHVVKm1lcIJ5pauz0Fb7rSHqWlJujyfSvLdFP3nGsBvunVim2K7HrOk0-dZ5eGZoyGRq5g4UxcbVv-QTHbSDoOqk9uthdo/s320/PHONE+087.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSsZTykImUqZtJqC_SRXdJtLJWzOu1nMWmEArwa-yv2Ck3xYQFt7hzurET28La2GTkhV0Ea2K5oL5iXHepFdcGyiYVzxAaMZPsxTiIbd7VLN4td4lhbPkWDP3Y_9P6nM2MY7BxanSV8N8/s1600/PHONE+103.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="cssfloat: right; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSsZTykImUqZtJqC_SRXdJtLJWzOu1nMWmEArwa-yv2Ck3xYQFt7hzurET28La2GTkhV0Ea2K5oL5iXHepFdcGyiYVzxAaMZPsxTiIbd7VLN4td4lhbPkWDP3Y_9P6nM2MY7BxanSV8N8/s320/PHONE+103.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

Amber let me make AG's Halloween costume this year. I was so happy!! Thankfully it was very simple to make, even for me! The first time she tried it on she wasn't real sure if she liked it or not but thankfully the next time she was ok with being a pretty little ghost.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Rae had a field trip to Memphis with her gifted class. She also had a Dr's appointment that morning in Memphis so we decided to make a day out of it and took the whole family. Everything was great at her Dr's visit. After that we met her class at The Fedex Forum for lunch. I had never been there before. That place is huge. They got to listen to a tour guide tell them about the building then they ate lunch on the steps before they headed to the Orphium. The show at the O was a CSI production. It was an ok show. All the kids seemed to enjoy it but as soon as the lights went out Rae got upset. She is not a fan of the dark. She was sitting on one end of the row with her friends and we were on the other end. She climbed over everyone in the row to get to where Phil and I were. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div align="center">I had talked in one of my other post about a Bible study that we had been doing at church called The Table Experience. The end project for The Table Experience was the church's Thanksgiving meal. Every lady that took the class plus several who didn't fixed a table for Thanksgiving. We brought out our best dishes, glasses, silverware, everything that you would need to feed guests at your table. The men of the church provided hams and Phil and I cooked the rest of the meal. It was a great night of fellowship with our church family and everything turned out so pretty.</div><div align="center"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Saturday before the meal when we went to set up I was walking around looking at all the beautiful tables. One table caught my eye and when I went and looked at it closer the china on the table was the same china that my momma had. I have a setting of mom's china but I have never seen it anywhere else. So was so sweet to see it there. It actually belongs to a teenager in the church whose aunt had given it to her and she was letting her mom use it for the dinner.</div><br />

The 6th grade band is huge! The concert was really good and Brady even had a small solo which he did really well at. For someone who does not practice at all he is really good at the trombone. They also played with the high school band at one of the home football games. They played "Louie Louie" and did a great job. Of course my camera decided it did not want to work right that night so all the pictures that I have are horrible. It was probably more of the operators fault than the camera.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Sometimes the people that you thought you knew the best you realize that you didn't really know at all. Sometimes you learn that you know more than you think you do. Sometimes you realize that you are stronger than you thought you were. Sometimes you realize that the people in your lives that have been there forever are the ones that you want there more than anything. Sometimes you realize that slowing down and enjoying the moment is as wonderful as it should be. Sometimes you realize that worring about things that you can't change is just a waste of time. Sometimes you realize that there are more important things in life than having all that you thought you wanted. Sometimes you realize that you can do something that you didn't think that you could. Sometimes waking up next to the person that you are spending your life with is one of the best feelings in the world. Sometimes you realize that the things your parents taught you were really right. Sometimes you realize how much you would LOVE to have your parents teach you something else. Sometimes you realize that you don't talk to your family know where near as much as you should. Sometimes you realize that saying I Love You or I'm Sorry are some of the best words to say. Sometimes you realize that making memories means more to you than having a clean house. Sometimes you realize how important your memories are. Sometimes there is nothing better than reliving your childhood in those memories. Sometimes you realize how wonderful your life is. Sometimes you realize how thankful you should be. Sometimes you realize how very thankful you are to have had a momma that made sure you were in church and that you knew who the Lord was. Sometimes the best memories are those of your momma having her nightly quite time and praying that your kids have those memories of you. Sometimes you realize how blessed you are with the life that God has given you. Sometimes you realize how wonderful your husband is and how thankful you are that God has given you such a strong leader for your family. Sometimes you realize how blessed you are to be the momma of two of Gods precious gifts. Sometimes you realize how much of a responsibility it is to guide your children to be the godly people that you want them to be. Sometimes you realize that you are doing something right by the way your children are living and the love they have for the Lord. Sometimes you realize how happy you are when you hear your kids sing along to some of your favorite christian songs. Sometimes you realize that your life is way more blessed than it should be and you realize just how wonderful everything is.Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02679898608959990935noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6104135904835785934.post-41863114215652150272011-09-28T05:30:00.002-05:002011-09-28T05:30:02.201-05:0050-2Today is my sweet sister in law, Barbara's birthday. I like to tease her and tell her that I will never be as old as she is, which technically is true since she is older. Today makes her just one year closer to the big 5-0. She knows that I love her and tease her with all the love in the world. BUT SHE IS SO MUCH OLDER THAN ME!!!!<br />

I don't really like that word but when it comes to football at our house that is what it is. Well actually it should be House Quartered. I am definetly out numbered when it comes to the favorite football team around here. I went to MS State. Phil went to Ole Miss. Brady and Rae are both on there daddy's side when it comes to who is there favorite team. Case in point....Saturday night we were watching the State/Lousiana Tech game. Phil was in the kitchen doing something and his iphone was beside me on the couch. State has just scored a touchdown and I was really wishing that I had a cowbell to ring. I didn't. So what did I do??? Grabbed his iphone and downloaded the MSU cowbell app! Needless to say I was not the favorite parent the rest of the night. Brady even hid his ipod so that I wouldn't download it on his. I had an enjoyable night walking around the house "ringing" my cowbell. It was really fun when MSU won in overtime...even if they did have to go into OT agains Louisiana Tech. It was a win and we will take it how ever we can get it. At least we did win...that's more than I can say for the "other" team in the house. Did they even show up?<br />

Sunday night we all gathered at Harrisburg to celebrate Tim's 12 year service recognition. Before he was at Harrisburg, he served at Vally Grove in Knoxville, TN. Now I like to think that Tim, Jima and the kids moved home because I was pregnant with Brady and they wanted to be closer to us BUT I guess the real reason was God was calling Tim to Harrisburg. I knew that Tim was a busy man at church, wearing many hats as Bro. Forrest called it Sunday night, but I don't think that I REALLY knew how busy he was. It was wonderful to hear all the great things that people were saying about him, things that I have known for close to 26 years. Jima said it was almost like he was getting to attend his funeral in person. Tim is a quiet, strong, dependable, funny, lovable, godly, awesome man and I am very proud to call him my brother (in law). Congratulations Tim! We love ya! Lots of pictures to follow!<br />

Rae has starting cheering this year for the 7-8 yr old football team at Mooreville and I have to say that she is very good at it. She has worked really hard, learned the cheers and dance but she found out this last Saturday that cheering is not just fun with friends. The boys had there scrimage football game at Dorsey. The plan was for them to play at 8:30 and then again at 9:40 but due to a team not showing up we didn't play until 9. As soon as that game was over they played their second game. All of that meant that the girls cheering had to cheer for two games back to back. I know that high school girls cheer for longer times than this but this was a bunch of 8 year olds who had never done this before. She was one tired little girl when we left. But she had a great time and did a wonderful job. She gets to cheer with some of her best friends from school. Rae, Lindy and Sianna are three of the tallest and loudest grils on the team. You can hear them over most of the other ones. Some of the cheers they do are new ones that I had never heard before and some are still around from my high school days. Rae was amazed that I knew the words to some of her cheers. I was never a cheerleader in high school but I did get to go to alot of the games and cheer from the stands. There is one cheer that the girls do that makes them giggle everytime they do it. It's "Hey Cheerleader" and in one part of the cheer they have to say "Shake your booty, shake, shake your booty" and everytime they say this they all make the biggest grins on their face.<br />

These are a great group of girls who have worked really hard to learn their cheers and they all did a great job Saturday. They are a big bunch also and three of the girls were not there. I can't wait for the rest of there games.<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't have a picture of their teacher Ms. Judy but as soon as I have one I will add it. She is an awesome lady. She is so good with the girls and she makes this fun for them. She always tells them how good they are doing and how proud she is of them and she works just as hard as they do. Her daughter Katelyn has been helping her with the girls, showing them the moves and making sure that they know the words. They have both been wonderful. Thank you Ms Judy an Katelyn for all your hard work.

Between my two families we had 5 birthday's to celebrate and 1 retirement.<br />
The first of the month we celebrated on the Willis side at Michael and Missie's house. Heathers birthday was on the 9th, mine on the 15th and Adam's on the 28th. Then on the 12th Mickey retired from Lane after 31 years. <br />

Then on the 27th we had all the Steele's over for birthdays. Phil made homemade chicken and dumplin's and they were wonderful. What's so neat about the Steele's August birthdays is that Gail's is the 5th, mine is the 15th and Bethany's is the 25th but I was due on Gail's birthday and came 10 days late and Bethany was due on my birthday and came 10 days late. We like to keep things consistent on the Steele side.<br />

Last night Phil and Brady went to a fantasy football draft so Rae and I did what we always do and ate in the living room in front of the tv. Tonight we sat down at the dining room table and ate as a family and it was WONDERFUL!!!! We had honey mustard chicken, corn, mac and cheese, baked beans and Phil's homemade biscuits. But do you know what the best thing about supper was ....... the conversation and the people. We actually had a real conversation with the kids about there day, about what was going on at school, about up coming events and just everyday things and it was great. <br />

I tried to get pictures of the family eating but they didn't like that idea to much.<br />

We have started a new bible study on Sunday night's at church call <a href="http://tableexperience.com/">The Table Experience by Devi Titus</a>. Last night we had about 35 ladies in the class. The study is about having a family experience around the dining room table, inviting God into your day. It sounds like its going to be a great study.<br />
<br />
We, as a family eat at the dining room table some, but most of the time we are at tv trays in the living room in front of the tv. I didn't really know how much I missed setting at the table, sharing a meal with my family until this study started and we have only had one class! It just seems like the kids share more about there day and about whats going on when we are around the table, talking to each other and not watching tv. You would think that with all the technology that we have these days and the ability to record everything that is on tv, that we wouldn't be afraid to miss something that was on at the precise time that we are eating supper. <br />
<br />
I can remember when I was a little girl at our house in Longview setting at the table eating supper with Momma, Daddy and Jima. We had a small kitchen table and Momma would have supper ready when Daddy got home from work and we would all set around that old metal table with the linoleum top (green with white spots if I remember it correctly) and have supper. Then as we got older and moved to Endville it seemed like eating at the table was only for Sunday lunches or special occasions. <br />
<br />
I miss having that family time. It's not that big of a deal to set the table instead of pulling out tv trays. Its actually very nice to set the table and be able to look at the people that you love and be able to share your day with them. I have some very specific memories of my parents from when I was growing up and I want my kids to have those kind of memories of Phil and I. I plan on eating at the table with my family more this week than we do at tv trays.<br />
<br />
How many times will you eat at the table with your family and the Lord this week?</div>Karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02679898608959990935noreply@blogger.com1
