PRESENTS!!!!!

Brian came back to work yesterday!!!!! That's a Grade-A present right there! :-) He sounded a lot better. Then my birthday presents arrived. They're wonderful!! I got a new zipper hoodie and new wrist wraps from elite fitness. Love them. And just as great as the presents was the presentation of them. Brian came walking in the aerobics room upstairs and had already opened the box that they came in and start tossing everything at me. It made me laugh. I hate the big center of attention open gifts ceremonial thing. And I've never told him that, but, somehow I didn't need to. I tried everything on and it's all just perfect. Wonderful presents.

He sounded better today than he did yesterday. But, we were unable to do T-Bar rows, cuz he wasn't up to lifting me, which tells me he's not feeling good at all. Plus, his back is bugging him a bit, so, I'm sure he'd appreciate all your prayers for a quicker recovery.

My weight is FINALLY back to where it was when I was in Malaysia. I'm praying hard it stays there. I'm competing in a meet this weekend to help raise money for our troops. Brian's helping to run it and I'm lifting. Gonna be fun! If anyone is interested in donating, get ahold of me.

Today's Workout wasn't the best....but it was definitely far from the worst.

I'm getting a lot better at talking to Brian when I feel I'm having an off lifting day. And he's really great (always has been) at making it known that everyone has those off days that lifts all the time. I'm better able to believe him when he says it. I'm learning so much. And I've come a long way in the last year. I don't know if it's always apparent, but, I'm still learning and getting better at things. And Brian is always there to lead me and teach me.

I posted a blog about a song a while back and today this part of the chorus fit extra well for me again: "Two hearts, one dream, I wouldn't trade it for anything. And I ask the Lord, every night, for just another day in paradise."
