A few funnies

While we were on our ski trip Alex took ski school and learned a few things- but before she did we played around a bit and she showed her stuff! also- Brandon was a bit unsure on his skiis so- a short video clip reveals his skiing techniques as well.

I PASSED

It's official folks! I did it! I believed I had a chance at passing the Pers. Train. test and I did it!!!!
I was actually surprised when the results came in. I had a small voice in the back of my head saying....well, maybe you didn't do so well.....yadda yadda yadda- But the bigger more positive voice was right! I passed and now I can start signing folks up to find better health and fitness. I'm excited. However- I am not able to even ride in a car right now. After getting hit in the tailbone with a ski lift chair- I have been suffering severe headaches (I know the butt and head thing doesn't make since). After a few x-rays the doctors determined the tailbone is fine but that I must have given myself a concussion either from another fall or the jolting I got caused me to thrash around enough to shake my brain. Maybe the ol' noggin was in need of a good shakin? Anyway- today is the first day in 9 days that I have been drug free- up til now I had been taking some serious pain killers to manage the pain- then I'd get all nauseous and feel like sleeping all day. It's been tough since I HATE being down. I have been lucky enough that my husband and mom could be here to help out. That's the other thing- On Monday this week, Don lost his job. Pretty crazy huh? Mom flew up to help out and just left today- was nice having her here to help me. Don has actually been in good spirits- he's been taking the kids to school - he's had fun playing with Alex and getting her ready for school. And he's trying to find a new job here in Oklahoma. Cross your fingers and pray a bunch that we can stay here- we really have found a home here in Edmond and I would hate to leave. But I also know- we need to eat and if that means moving then we move. I cringe at the thought of packing up again- yuck! Anyway- I believe God made things work out this way- if Don had been working this week he couldn't have been home to help take care of me and the kids and I really think God has a bigger better plan for us. So- with that in mind- I will continue to pray and wait for what God has in store.
