A day in the Life...

Hey all,

This is my very first blog so bear with me. We are finally in Tn after the move from hell july 4th weekend. It was a very trying month filled with lots of adjustments both physcially and emotionally for all of us. John, I'm sure, was finally happy to have us living in the same state, let alone living within a mile from each other. The boys were happier to have him more available to him. I was not at all happy with having to leave my home of 4 years. Alabama would have been my home for the rest of my life, if I had a choice. I hope that in time this move will prove to be a good one for me too.
The boys have started at their new school. Zachary is in full time daycare now and Travis started his SRK classes just this past week and is attending after school classes as well so there is enough to keep them both busy. Zachary has adjusted very quickly but Travis had a bit more trouble. John and I had agreed to do this because eventually I will be going back to work/school full time.
I am back to working out on a regular basis and, very slowly, started to run. I am mostly running on the treadmill right now but I did my first mile, (walking & running), just today. It's tough to pace yourself when you are out on your own. My goal is to be able to run a 5k by february. keep me in your prayers.
I am meeting some wonderful new friends through the gym and just tooling around the neighborhood. I am hopeful that once I get myself back to work I will meet even more friends. I am finding that memphis is filled with some of the nicest people. A fact which I am so greatful for. I left so many wonderful people behind in AL that I was sure I would never be able to find any others. I am doing my best to keep in contact with them through email, phone, letters, ( yes I do enjoy writing snail mail ever now and then), and now this blog. My goal is to update it on a daily basis however, I think weekly is more realistic at this time in my life.
I have caught up on all of the movies that I felt I missed in these past 4 or 5 years. Yes, I have in the past month watched many movies. I felt I needed and escape and thankfully the movies I rented provided that for me. Beside, I am obsessed with Alan Rickman and Jason Isaacs right now. Both Brittish actors. Both fabulous. Once I get over this obsession I want to take one actor a month and watch all of their best movies. I enjoy the movies, always have, so why not incorporate it into my hobbies.
I have also, committed to an online book club and have not been really diligent about reading the books. So I have a lot of catching up to do before the year is out. I have about 4 books that I want to read, Harry Potter, 2 by david sadaris and the final one is called Sex with the queen, (I will let you know how that one is once I get to it.)
That's it for now. Sorry this blog is so long but I felt I had to months to catch up on....
