Taylor - So Close!

-

 We move out two weeks from today! I feel so unprepared. There isn't actually a ton to do, but the thought of packing, finding a storage unit, renting a truck for moving our large items, working on final projects, and trying to meal plan the heck our of our remaining food supply is daunting.

I'm feeling pretty lucky that I made some freezer meals a couple of months ago, because I've been able to plan those to feed us the last week before moving out. So all we have to do is thaw them (all soups), heat them up, and serve! I'm happy that it means I can pack our dishes and cooking supplies, and just use paper bowls and plastic spoons. I've already been able to meal plan most of this and next week's meals. Yay!

This last week I didn't give my best effort. Frustration was my downfall - ants not going away, project aspects that team members don't do good work on ( so I will probably have to re-do their part), other projects not working out, not cleaning enough. I only walked once last week for an hour (which felt great, I was pretty sweaty and my ligaments/tendons in my ankles and upper legs were sore). BUT the positives of last week: I have a buddy to walk with! We made a schedule for MWF evenings. I was able to get every single assignment done, and didn't forget anything! 

Last night was GREAT. I was so tired after our Zoom call yesterday, I told Austin I wanted to sleep. So I went and got ready for bed. Although it took him a little while to wind down, he decided to join me (even though he said it was too early) and we were in bed around 8PM! AND WE SLEPT UNTIL 8AM!!! Best Sleep EVER. I wish his work schedule allowed us to go to sleep early every day. I love sleep haha. 

My goals for this week:

- Go walking 1hr/MWF

- Get all my assignments done on the days I have them written out

- Make road trip snacks with all the random leftover pantry items

    -make pumpkin chocolate chip bread, give to friends

    -make peanut brittle (we still have lots of peanuts and Karo syrup lol)

    -make protein bites

- Pack two boxes, organize already packed boxes for storage

    I'd say the meal planning alone is a big project not to mention all the other moving stuff. So I think you are pretty busy here. I hope it goes smoothly and you have a successful week!

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 ...

Taylor - It's almost October!

 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...
