Thirteen Random Thoughts!

1. These pasts few days I have become obsessed with The Lord of the Rings trilogy. I had never seen them before and really was never quite interested in them AT ALL. My sister in law talked me into watching the first one and after 10 minutes I was addicted and I have stayed up the last 3 nights till 2 and 3 am to watch them!!
2. I plan on staying up tonight watching the behind the scenes of Lord of the Rings!! I won't give my opinion of these movies but if you haven't seen them I really recommend them!!
3. Malaya, Mom and Dad enjoyed a day at the fair today. I chose to back out this year b/c of lack of being able to eat ANY of the delicious, sinful food there!
4. I have 4 AMAZING sister in laws. David's youngest sister came to stay the weekend with us and I loved hanging out with her. I got to spend 3 days with David's other sister. She challenges me and her conversation focuses on God. I got to eat a dinner with another SIL and loved watching her mother and wife my brother and nephew. She is a beautiful woman. I missed getting to see 4th SIL but I love her very much and can't wait to hold the Ross baby that she is carrying!
5. Both of David's sisters have gone through this "Detoxing" thing with me! I am so grateful for their committment, accountability and dedication.
6. Speaking of this detoxing thing, I have grown to really enjoy eating squash and zucchini. I have not developed a taste for eggplant or mushrooms. I just can't bring myself to enjoy them.
7. Baby Katlyn is almost 4 months old and is precious! It still amazes me to see her now! She is beautiful!
8. Baby Jed is 4 months old!! He has developed some thickness to him and I love it!! He is so cute! He loves staring at his Mom and Dad. And he is rolling over and starting to scoot!
9. My CD player in my truck has been out for a few months now and I am really missing my CD's. I really need to take it in to get fixed. Just need to make it a higher priority.
10. It has been funny listening to Terrell Owens defend their loss to the Eagles. Poor guy!
11. I love the crisp weather outside tonight. It is so nice and refreshing!
12. Malaya LOVES to read. She is reading chapter books. We love to play school together! She loves spending time with her cousins! She loves cuddling up with her daddy. She loves giving her uncles a hard time. She is a joy to watch grow.
13. Did I mention that Lord of the Rings is awesome!!!!! :)

I have been meaning to tell you that you are looking really great since you started your detox. You looked glowing on Sunday. I think I need to do it too! I need to talk to you about it. Glad you are enjoying the weather.

So glad you updated! We missed you this week...but I know you have had a great time with family. I agree with Amy, you were glowing! I just don't think I could do the whole detox thing! Maybe after my fair visit! GLad you are home!

What is the deal with detox? Is this something your doctor recommended? What does it involve? Just curious. I agree with Amy C. Detoxing is something that I think almost everyone could benefit from.

How awesome that you have passed on your love of reading to Malaya!

I am on a detox plan right now, too. No sugar, yeast, vinegar or dairy. It is interesting, but it has been easier than I thought.

Glad you have such awesome sister-n-laws. Growing up without a sister can really make you appreciate them.
