 Hi guys so this week was a really fun. 

So first amber asked how I make my tofu; its really simple and not anything special. I cut the tofu into very thin rectangle shapes. I cover them in cornstarch and cook them in a pan with oil or butter until they are crispy. Then I get rice and teriyaki sauce and mix it together. I usually eat it with avocado and seaweed.

Ok. Starting on monday, I had my first meeting with my therapist and it went great! I absolutely love her. We are meeting every monday now. We are trying to get me on meds, probably lithium as the last one I took did more harm than good, she said it was a newer less proven drug. But lithium has been used for a very long time and has a really good success rate so hopefully it works out.

Tuesday addy came up and said that she wanted to go to seattle as soon as she could to get a break and since work had given most of the week off we decided to make a impromptu trip. We left wednesday after addy got off of work. 

Our hotel was very fun. It was very modern artsy and the gym was super nice so I worked out while I was there.

We went to Pikes market and got some things from the merchants. Thursday we went and got seafood and went to the space needle. We went to a few stores, one was a french grocery store. They had a ton of cheese and wine and candy from france. We didn't want to drive in seattle so we kept the car parked and walked everywhere which means we got to see a lot more, it was a very good trip.




This was the very from the space needle. Thats the Museum of Pop culture
        This was a mirror they had in the hotel which was super fun it looked like you were walking into a tunnel

    That sounds like such a good week Alyse! I'm glad! I haven't ever been to Seattle, but I'm hoping Austin and I will have the opportunity. There are some really pretty places to hike around there :)

      It was thanks! The Seattle area does have some great places for hiking but I would really recommend the Portland area for sure, its one of the most beautiful places I've seen, its like Seattle but with waterfalls!

    Thanks for the tofu info, but one more question. When you say you cut them into rectangle shapes do you mean you cut the whole thing into thin rectangle slabs and then fry them or do you then cut those slabs into smaller rectangle shapes? I can't believe you guys went to Seattle, that looks like a lot of fun and that museum looks like some architect had a blast.

      Smaller rectangles like cubes but thinner. The architecture of the museum was very creative and really tall!

Life Was Not Meant to Be Easy.-Aubrey

I think it is so important to understand that life was never meant to be easy. I have been really struggling lately. Some emotional and some physical, but it is kicking my butt. I have been trying to figure out what I can do to help me, but also properly execute my responsibilities at home as a wife and mother. I have been struggling to even just do the basics without losing my temper or checking out (Aaron has watched quite a bit of tv lately).  I made a check list that is pretty redundant, but it is necessary sometimes with my currant state of mind. It is divided into 4 parts; Personal, Kids, Zach, and Family/House. It has things as little and consistent as prayers and as changing as the specific chores that need to be done that particular day. My checklist haste been a really good way for me to feel like I am getting things done, but also lets me know what I might be neglecting. I noticed this last week that I have put more importance on everybody else so yesterday when I would ...

 Long time no see! Austin and I are finally getting into more of a routine. His class work load is so much easier since switching majors from Mechanical Engineering to Manufacturing Engineering Technology. He's hoping that he might be able to squeeze in a weekend to go hunting this fall, he still needs to call Cameron and talk about it though.  We will be 28 weeks tomorrow, and I am so excited! The weather is starting to cool off, I've got most of our baby stuff washed, organized, and ready to go, and the fall colors are starting to show in the trees! Tonight is our 4/5 hypnobirthing class, and we will be spending the majority learning how to use counterpressure techniques and stuff to help during labor, which I'm pretty pumped about. ALSO, Austin and I both have job interviews on Friday! It's for seasonal positions at Artco (The Occassions Group) making greeting cards for the holidays. They are incredibly flexible with schedules (literally work whenever you want, as th...

 This week is feeling redundant.  I know I still need to get to sleep but I'm so tired of trying and failing so now I want to change my goal.  However, like I said, I still need to get to sleep on time.  So I have as of not yet done much energy work on it and have on many other things which have improved.  Reasons I have failed to use it for this my current goal are many and right now sound like a bunch of excuses so I'm skipping those and today, Monday, am implementing at least one, maybe two techniques.  I will report on any results good or bad and I want progress on this one this week.  I am also going to include it heavily in my prayers, throughout the day if necessary.  This non progress has been the story of my efforts for a long time.  Since I know I'm supposed to focus on it then I am assuming I'm supposed to progress at it.  So here goes this week.  Goals: Planning meeting with God as soon as I am dressed and awake Alarm at...
