Goodbye May, Hello June!

It's been a little while since I blogged last, so I thought I'd give everyone a recent post.

May in a nutshell: hail a lotta rain!

It basically rained all but 6 days here this month. There have been lots if thunderstorms, thus waking Olivia up at night. However, we have been very fortunate to not have been hit by any terrible tornados.

I received a beautiful butterfly rain gauge for Mother's Day and Olivia loves to go check on it. It's neat teaching your children little nature-related things.

I had a fun surprise 30th Bday party for Dan at Buffalo Wings & Ribs. The best part was seeing his face when we walked into the restaurant. He told me, " Amy, what are you doing, we have to wait to be seated?!" "SURPRISE!!!!" Priceless!
It was great to see so many friends and family come out to celebrate with us!

Then I signed up to run my first race...the Fort4Fitness, thanks to Lisa Saxe's encouragement. It's only 4 miles, but will be a challenge for me!

We undertook a huge landscaping project and almost have it finished, thanks to Dan & his dad! It is looking so much better than before. I'll gave to show before & after pics for everyone once it's all done.

I was able to see my friend Casey, from Indy, thanks to my friend Angie for inviting us over to "swing & surprise!" it was great to see her precious newborn baby Ben!

Olivia continues to be in her Tumble Bunnies class, where we have good weeks and not so good weeks. She ultimately loves it because she'll pretend play that she's in her class and she practices her moves at home. Then
when we go to class (sometimes) she won't cooperate, throws fits, and doesn't want me to leave her. I think it'll take some time but it will grow in her. It's hard bringing Gabe with us bc it's her "thing", but he's not any trouble, it's just that O likes her attention.

Anyways, other than that, we had our first ever Game Night at our house. It was an absolute blast! We plan on having another one on Saturday, if anyone is able to make it!

On Saturday I also turn the big 3-0. It's weird thinking that I'm not going to be in my 20's anymore. I feel old, but I know I'm really not. It's just a weird feeling~

Well, this old lady is really tired and needs to go to bed!

Peace!

Positives for Tuesday

Here are 5 positive things that happened today:

5). Dan came home from lunch to see us.
4). I actually broke down and had a good cry (this hardly ever happens), which helped.
3). Olivia was great in Tumble Bunnies this time around! I was starting to worry about having to pull her from the class. Answered prayer!
2). I was able to get in a great weightlifting workout. It felt so good! I haven't done this in a long time but know that it helped me lose tons of weight before.
1). I was able to sleep in until 9:00am!!!

Thank you Lord for this beautiful Tuesday and the gift of life that is invaluable!
