Hot Hot Hot

Jason and I did yard work all morning on Sunday. It was the first time in a long time the whole front yard has been done at once. We bought an automatic hedger and wow, what a difference. I was able to trim all of the bushes in the same amount of time it typically takes to do 1 bush! The front yard looks pretty put together, I love it! Then nothing beats a cold margarita after boiling out side! (Just remember to eat lunch if you try this at home, believe me).

Monday we went on a mountain bike ride after work, whew, it was HOT! I didn't know my face could turn so purple. On the bright side we did the ride in 1 hour 6 minutes and averaged 8.9 miles per hour, for us, on mountain bikes that is FAST!

I am oh so grateful for Kimmie's home cooking! She made irresistible apple pie, it was delectable and I don't even like pie! I've decided that I can't say I don't like something that Kim is fixing, I like even the things I don't like when Kim's cookin'.

Today I am grateful for sore muscles. It helps me know that they are getting stronger. We started lifting weights again on Monday- I can't wait to see my body change even more with this added piece of healthy living...for those who don't know, I have lost 20 plus pounds over the last year, with half of it "falling off" once I cut way back on sugar, potatoes and simple carbs! Who knew eating healthy and exercising would have this effect? : ) When we saw our niece Kelsie on Saturday, she said more than once "Tami you're just so cute" and told Jas when I walked away from the table that I get cuter and cuter every time they see me, and then Jas had to agree and acknowledge how cool it is to have a wife who is just getting better looking with age! Can't beat those kind of comments with a stick.
