It was a beautiful spring day, so I traded in my usual exercise video for a real walk in the real park. We soaked up vitamin D. We took deep breaths of fresh, albeit pollinated, air.
I walked about 2 miles around the park. It took me about an hour, but keep in mind, my goal was not about distance or speed, just movement. (I know I met this goal because my muscles are whining about it now!)
It felt good and the kids enjoyed strolling as much as I enjoyed walking!

Wordy Thirty!
I received the sweetest gift today...part of my Wordy Thirty birthday weekend. A beautiful scrapbook containing letters and notes from many of my family and friends sharing sweet memories and encouraging words about me. I was touched. It was a perfect gift!
As I reflect on the last decade, I truly cannot believe where I am and how much I've grown. Now this year, 2013, is all about intentionality, and I've been in a bit of a low place the last few months. But as I'm coming out of it, remotivating myself and getting back on track with my goals, I decided to think of 30 things I want to do better this year. (These are in no particular order)
1. Reading the Bible - I get lots of Scripture second hand through lessons and studies, but I'd like to spend more time reading on my own.
2. Blogging - I have SO much to say!! About motherhood, being a wife (an actor's wife at that!), faith, and living abundantly...I just need to make the time to say it!
3. enrichment activities - we have a fantastic curriculum through Cornerstone, but there are so many things we can do to foster that love of learning and creativity, and adventure.
4. meal planning - this has been SUCH a process!! I'm getting better at it, but I would love to get a good rhythm and consistency.
5. More intentional activity in our day.
6. Flossing
7. cleaning the house
8. bike riding
9. yoga - consistency and form
10. fruit of the Spirit - basically I want to live up to all those wonderful things people said about me!
11. ...I was going to think of 30 things, but I'm thirty now with three small kids...what, do I have, time on my hands?? Maybe I'll just focus on these and enjoy life under the grace of God!
Happy thirtieth to me!
