Date Night

Last night (Sunday night) was date night for Josh and me. It was the first time we had seen a movie since I was maybe 6 months pregnant. Something that we used to do all the time, anytime, it had taken us 7 months to do. I had worked all day (sidenote: I wake up at 3:30am to get ready for work to be there by 4:30 am...I have heard this is a bit crazy) and was very tired and missed my baby, but we forged on and went anyway. We drove the 45 minutes to Corbin to see a two and a half hour movie (Gone Girl, I highly recommend it!) so by the time we got out it was around 7 pm. From lack of seeing my baby and being so hungry I was shaking, I was ready to grab something fast and go home. The last 30 minutes of the movie I was trying to come up with a way to tell Josh this. We had both wanted a steak dinner and just some time to ingest food at a normal speed (unlike "the baby is going to cry" speed) so I didn't know how he'd feel about changing plans . So while I was waiting for him to get out of the restroom, I mustered up the courage and blurted it out. Thank God his reaction was "I was going to ask if you wanted Taco Bell" I was so happy and hungry (a taco bell was not close) that we just hit the McDonalds drive thru and headed home. I ended up putting my head on his arm and falling asleep the last half of the trip home, but that in my opinion was a successful date night! Nothing fancy but we got to spend some time as a couple again and that is just what we needed! We arrived at our family's hosue and Tuck was awake so we picked him up and headed back down the hill (code for home) and put him to sleep togheter. Win.

Self Control

I was having a conversation with my mom yesterday about eating and self control. I can't tell you how many times I have racked my brain for motivation and simple logic on how to better control myself around food. I feel like if you have self control you don't have to be on a diet all you need to do is eat what you want just don't eat so much of it and you've got the whole being healthy thing figured out. Of course it wouldn't hurt to add some good in, that has to be said. BUT I can't seem to figure out how to control my eating when it comes to sitting down and eating supper, I overeat every sinlge time. I have two kids so sitting down to eat isn't as interesting as it used to be. When I would cook meals before I would typically slave for about an hour and by the time I sat down I would eat a small amount then be too tired to eat anymore. Weird I know. Funny thing is when you spend the time cooking a meal eating it is not as interesting as eating something

Motherhood Right Now

I wanted to start a new update on the blog called: Motherhood right now. It will be an update on parenting and what it looks like with my two little ones at the particular age and season of life we are all in. So lets getting started by saying Tuck is practically 21 months and Grant is practically 8 months old. At the moment motherhood could be easier. I have two mama's boys and tend to choose their mom over anyone else. Which could not be more sweet. For instance after teaching my workout class last night I got home and my littlest calmed right down and was happy and my oldest sat in my lap and gave me 100 kisses. On the other hand Grant cried for 45 minutes while I was gone, which breaks my heart and bothers me to know he misses me so much when I'm at work, but I also know its good for him to be with his grandparents and it's good for me to work. I would love to be with my boys 24/7 but I have to work and work is good for me, it keeps my mind busy and I get to be s

Moving

Lately the husband and I have been talking about moving away, whether it be a few towns over that would be closer to his future job or it be a bigger town states away. It's this huge life changing decision that I don't like to make. Our little ones are so close to their grandparents and cousins, and we would absolutely hate to take them away but at the same time we both have this gut feeling of wanting more and wanting to experience more. Its almost like I'm torn between what's an easy decision and what is hard but could be the best thing for us. I'm not saying where we live now doesn't off "enough" it's just that we want more. It would be easy to take a piece of land given to us and build a house and live in the comfort of seeing our family almost everyday. It would be hard to choose exactly where to live and it would be hard to start over in a new place, living like we've never lived before. How do you decide. Obviously we would need to
