A Good Week

Last week, I posted about changes.  Usually with changes, there comes a bit of disruption in routine.  Or at least an adjustment period.   Praise the Lord, the Baxley's are adjusting to our changes swimmingly!

We are getting up a little earlier to get ready each morning, tend to our animals, and make sure we are packed and loaded for each day.  We've done pretty well with this, neither of us being late for our respective engagements.  I love how we work so well together, each picking up the slack for the other to make life easier and flow smoothly.

Jason has had a good week, filled with meetings, setting up his office, inspections and so on.  He is off today and will help me run errands.  He has adjusted to leaving earlier and getting to Montgomery on time beautifully.  He is really enjoying having an office.  This is his first office ever that is just his and not one that he shares with other shift supervisors.  He has been working for the State for around 15 years, so this a HUGE milestone for him.  Hopefully, I get him to take some pictures to show everyone.

My week has been really fantastic.  I have had two busy days in court.  On Monday after court, I came home and got a quick run in on the treadmill.  I loathe running on the treadmill, but it was the best option to quickly get that run in.  Tuesday, I enjoyed a morning Yoga class at Cornerstone.  It was amazing!!  I felt great afterword.  I have a lot of work to do to increase my flexibility, but for this week, I did it!  I got my hair done Tuesday afternoon and worked all in between.  Wednesday was again a day filled with court and back to Cornerstone for a quick run on the treadmill and an Intervals class.  I am sore this morning, but I need that.  Today calls for a run.  No pain, no gain . . . right?

With a little planning, we have been able to have dinner at home together each night this week.  Good, home cooked meals where we can sit together and talk about our day and make preparations for the next.

Now, this may not sound like major milestones to you, but this week means a lot to me.  I have been slacking on my exercise since after Thanksgiving.  I disappointed myself because I failed to train and missed running the Mercedes Half this year.  I paid for it and registered, but let the holidays, weather and laziness prevail.  Trying to get back on track this year has left me feeling frazzled and in a constant state of chaos.  It's taken me some time, but I finally feel like everything is coming together.  I still have some new year's resolutions that I am working to incorporate and accomplish, but with more weeks like this one, I am on my way.

I know it is just Thursday, but I wanted to share with you that, at our house, we have had a great week so far.  I'm praying that the rest of the week and our weekend is just as fantastic for all of us.

Stay tuned.  In the coming days/weeks, I plan to blog about the following topics:

Friends and Friendship
The Observation of Lent, even for a Baptist
Biscuits!  If I can make fantastic homemade biscuits, you can too!!
More changes . . . contemplating adoption.
