Happy Bday Love.

I've been a little on the sick side for the past week, which explains my late posting. Which you may not have noticed. I went to the doctor Tuesday and got some meds. I'm feeling much better. If I could just stop coughing sometime soon that would be great though. Due to my sickness my running/exercising has been nonexistent this week. Excuses. I wouldn't have done it anyway. Probably not. Well I may have ran. I actually do want to keep that up. But I figured I better not since I can barely talk without sounding like I'm coughing up a lung. Although, my doctor told me I could still run. It's actually good for you. It helps you cough up all the junk. Gross. He told me the day I was in there I could go run when I got home. No thanks. I'm going home and taking advantage of the rest my husband is going to let me have while he takes care of our children. Let me be sick doctor! 

This whole #fit4christmas thing I mentioned in a previous post isn't going so well. I think I've lost a total of 1.5 lbs in 3 weeks. I've probably gained that back this week doing nothing. I did eat pretty well. But that doesn't help me. I have to do some sort of exercise if I want to lose anything. Ugh. I wish I cared more. Well I do care. I care about the 10 lbs I've gained over the last two months. Yes. That happened. I just wish I didn't care so much. I know I can lose that if I really try. It will be hard over the next few weeks due to all of the wonderful holiday eating. My goal will be not to gain over the next weeks. If I can just maintain and then really get back on track afterwards I'll be happy. My goal next week is to run at least 3 days. That's a pretty attainable goal. Hopefully. 

So, back to the most important item of discussion for the day. Today is my husband's 32nd birthday! I'm so glad he was born all those years ago. He's my best friend. And I love him dearly. Luke made him a birthday card and I told him to tell me five things he likes about his Daddy. Well, now I'm going to list five things I like about Justin Heck. Here they are in no particular order. These aren't all too serious or too mushy, so don't worry! 

1. You make me laugh. Even if I don't laugh out loud all the time...I still think you're the funniest person I know.
2. Your excitement over Christmas. You're like a little kid...which makes it pretty fun for our little kids.
3. I have someone to like cool/nerdy things with.
4. When you play/wrestle with our boys...I like you a lot then.
5. Your beard. Please don't ever shave it off. But please cut your hair. 

There are of course a lot more things I could list. He's a really likable guy...I think anyway. Tonight we are having a family birthday thing. Tomorrow we are going on a birthday date, which will include going to see the new Hunger Games movie. I didn't even have to ask him to take me to see that on his birthday. He wanted to. Which goes back to #3 on my list. I've only read the book three times, so I think I'm pretty prepared for it.

Happy Birthday Justin Heck! Let's spend lots more birthdays together...okay?

-Aren't you glad I still have these old pictures of you? By the way, Jan, I promise I"m going to give these back to you...I've only had them for 6 years. But I'm so glad I still had them today. :)

Cutie.
