Its a NEW YEAR!!!
So, remember last year in 2019, I wrote about how 2016 changed
me, 2017 broke me, 2018 opened my eyes and 2019 I’m coming back. Well, I found
this same picture in 2020 but with different dates and it rang true for me as
well, so now…2017 changed me, 2018 broke me, 2019 opened my eyes and 2020, I’m
coming back…2017 really did change me, I spent three months in a psychiatric
hospital and struggled for my life. 2018 broke me, coming home from treatment
and trying to live life was hard. 2019 I gained a ton of weight and still
struggled but my eyes started to be open about so many things. I went into 2020
thinking it was going to be a good year, and it had some good moments, but it
was hard too. I was nowhere near where I wanted to be and physically, I got worse,
but I was able to overcome my negative thinking and try and make the best of every
day. I made a goal to be more present with my kids, try and work on my
spirituality, try and go to the gym, work on what my therapist and dietitian were
helping me with and just try.
So last year I tried out cross country skiing with some ladies. Well I ended up buying some skis off the facebook marketplace and decided to try it again. Sally had preschool up in Rexburg twice a week for 2 hours, so I hit up the golf course that had a ski trail. I thought it was a good use of the time while she was at school.
We had been talking about taking the kids to go ice skating over the Christmas break but we did not end up going. We finally took them in January. It turned out to be good; we got there at a good time in order to get the little green helpers for Macy and Sally.
Sally got a tired after a little while so she and I spent time just sitting around waiting.
Macy was so kind; there was a older lady that was having a hard time on the ice, so Macy offered her helper. The lady was so grateful. Macy tried without the help and did okay. I am glad we took the time to go, but I do not think its something I will want to do often.
There was one morning that it was just Sally and I at home. I think maybe it was a Friday while the other two were at school; I had gotten the living room clean and she asked me if she could do some kid yoga. We turned it on on her ipad and I sat and watched her. At the end, she spent a good 15 minutes just lying on the floor. I have never been a huge fan of yoga but some people love it. I give it a go whenever someone invites me, but my body just does not move the correct way and I always feel uncomfortable.
VEGAS BABY
I had the opportunity to go to Las Vegas for my sister Ashlee's 40th birthday. I was able to fly out of Idaho Falls on a Friday evening and come back on Monday!!
We stayed at a super awesome hotel called the Aria...we got a penthouse suite that overlooked the city. The first day we went to the spa and got massages and then got to sit in the hot tubs, steam rooms and saunas. It was overall just a fun day.
We got to go to Cirque Du Soleil and it was neat.
We ate some good food and had some awesome desserts. I am glad I was able to go and my sister Ashlee is just the best. She is the favorite aunt and I think the is the favorite daughter too
