Laptop Down!

My computer/laptop is still fine however my battery died this week....totally gone. So I have no laptop...I have access to my computer at work and Brandon "allows" me to use his when he is not using it. Which is funny because he is always using it. So this has been sort of a good process for me....slowly healing my addiction to Facebook and Blogging..lol. Brandon is on a bike ride right now so I thought I would try and catch up my blog.
This past week was Brandon's 29th birthday...starting his 30th year in life. And I said I would cook for him so I slaved away in the kitchen and I present to you....

My tomato/mozzarella salad! He's the better cook so nothing I can do is going to be better than what he makes so I keep it simple. :) But I enjoy celebrating every year I have with him. I was blessed when he came into my life....not many men would have taken the baggage but he accepted and embraced it and I don't thank him enough.
I have been reading two books that constantly challenge me...Crazy Love and ENOUGH. That last one is really challenging the way I live. I have realized that I do a good job of seeking and challenging myself....but it is no good if you don't follow through with the challenges...after the 1st day. :) So I am praying that I start to put things into practice that I learn. One thing I really need to fix is myself...I made myself sick to my stomach this week by eating too much candy. I don't understand how as an adult I can literally not control myself and I make myself sick from sugar. REALLY?? So once again I am going to try and refrain from too much sugar...I feel like I say this every few months BUT this time it really bummed me out and I realize how much it affects my energy and mood. Well....today will be a fun day in the park, meeting some new friends and Ethan's birthday party. Pictures will soon follow. :)
