I made several New Year's Resolutions this year, not like the years in the past. In others it was just to lose weight, but this year I added several REAL responsibilities dealing with our family in a church that we are all happy with and becoming a healthier person, as you can see I did not say "lose weight." But so far it has been great.
We visited a church last Sunday that we ALL really enjoyed. It had several things for the kids and the boys really seemed to enjoy themselves, and for me and Brandon it was good. They have two different services so you can pick your time. It was different from what we were use too, but I really enjoyed it and got a lot out of the service. And when the kids got in the car and they were excited, it made it worth the visit. I want them to enjoy it and have fun, but also to learn. I want them to make friends, because one day those church friends could be the one to see their way through trouble. I don't ever want them to feel like we are "dragging" them to church. I want them to know that, that is where we need to be and I want them to like it. So I think we will go back this Sunday and see if we feel the same way. But yes I know, we need to get in a church and stay and get involved.
At work we have started "Scale Back Alabama" and there is 4 of us who is really trying hard. It has made it nice, not easy but nice that we have others that are doing the same thing. I am really proud of myself, I have walked almost everyday. It is so hard, as most of you know. Just making the time to get it in and to think that ball season is right around the corner. I dread it but I make myself get on the treadmill and then I feel good.
Cole will be 9 years old on Monday. I'm so sad. I have several memories about this time 9 yrs ago. My great grandmother (who past away 2 yrs ago) came to my house with my mother several days before Cole was born. I was having some problems so they took care of me. I miss her so much. And then Cole, getting so big. And smart mouth!!! What do you do?
I hope everyone has been able to stick with their resolutions, it can be really hard at times.
Hope you all have a good weekend.
Five on Friday...

If you don't mind me asking what church did yu visit? Bama and I are thinking about visiting a few and I am open to suggestions!
We went to Eden Westside in Pell City. I know that seems far but not really, about 25 minutes. I really liked it. They have so much for the kids and everything is age divided which I thought was great. They have an 8:30 and 11:00 services and a Discovery Life (sunday school) at 9:45 which we have not been to yet.
