It's been weird.

--things have been weird here for a couple days. yesterday we had a snow day! but to add to the excitement we had no power!!! many power poles were blown down or broken. it was insane!!! we also had gma and gpa Baker stuck here for about 6 hours while the worst of the storm went through. they didn't know the temple was closed until they got here...

--we played games, read, and ate sandwiches. just after i pulled out the flashlights and glowsticks...around 8:20 last night...the power came on.

--this afternoon the power went out again. i was able to leave work an hour and a half early, which is a bonus!

--SIGH...really, I'd like for life to be normal. i LOVE power...LOVE electricity. don't want to ever be without it! am i ready for a real emergency? nope...lots of work to do.

--we need spring. please please please come spring!!!!!

Birdies!!

Tessa and her badminton Partner Seth recently did AWESOME in their tourney! They even beat a couple of grade nine mixed teams! They are moving on to divisionals this week...

I finally got this board put up. It was made by my father in law for Christmas...it's a large metal magnet board. I love it!

And here are our recently spray-painted lockers. They are in the garage. I think mine is the pink one!!

Interesting article...

I really really like this, and believe it wholeheartedly...

"Here’s the TRUTH about losing weight…

You don’t need to understand hormones to lose weight.

It doesn’t require that you understand HOW fat is oxidized.

In all honestly it doesn’t even require you understand the difference between protein, carbs, and fats…

You just need to find a comfortable way to eat less.

Learning about the newest discovery in weight loss science, whether it’s stuff like Growth Hormone, Insulin, Leptin, FGF-21 or some other hormone… does NOT change the way your body gets rid of fat.

Just because it’s new to you, does not make it new to your body.

“New” hormones aren’t new to your body. They’ve been there the entire time.

In other words they are new discoveries to us, but not to our bodies.

There are no secret weight loss techniques that cause you to burn 15,243% more fat.

In fact, there are no secrets at all.

Your body has this whole “weight loss” thing figured out.

There are no catches or tricks.

It is a physiological process, just like how your liver or kidney works…meaning the actual inner processes are completely out of your control, but are running
perfectly.

The bottom line is this: Far too many people ‘read’ weight loss research as a form of entertainment.

Mostly, they’re looking for (or reading) good marketing.

They end up spending way too much time theorizing about what MIGHT work, instead of concentrating on what’s BEEN working this whole time.

Eating less, moving more.

Your body knows how to lose fat, you just need to give it the opportunity to show you what it can do."

There is no elevator to success...you have to take the stairs.
