Summer Is Flying By

Just a month left until I start back to school. Its crazy to think, that in one semester I'll be done with nursing school. Its been a long, rocky road getting here, but I'm excited and confident. I don't expect next semester to be easy by any means, but if I remain constant and disciplined, I'll do fine. Speaking of discipline....

I made it to my 30 day mark of my no fried foods attempt. Actually, it wasn't hard at all after about the 10th day. I've started my count over, since I rewarded myself and endulged in some Canes and Oyster Bar on day 31, but as I look to what I eat, and try to decide what I want, I have no problem passing over the fried stuff. (okay...the sweet potato fries I saw on a menu today tempted me a little).
Amanda has decided to try it as well. She is on day 4 herself today. Impressive! It's hard, in the South, to cut out fried goods. Try it and see.

Biking has cut into my brewing time. I need to get in the mode and just brew for about 3 days non-stop. I have 7 kits of ingredients that need to get converted to malty goodness. I'll make it happen before school starts. Sooner the better, right? Biking has been incredible. It satisfies my need to get outside, gives me good exercise, and is very therapeutic. I've lost about 8 pounds, but thats not why I'm doing it, just a benefit. I'm at almost 100 miles for July. In August, I hope to do about 150. Amanda has been biking a bit as well. She can tell the difference I know.

I'm working quite a bit more with Amanda these days at the Sport Port. I enjoy spending the extra time with her, and its nice to see how far she's brought the facility from what it was. She has a vision for things, and a passion to succeed. I think Let's Play Inc is going to be a part of her life for quite a while. Who'd'a thunk'it?

Cayden, the other day, at the indoor, sat up. It was Sunday, and he was laying in a chair Amanda's Aunt Anne left us last year during the sisters tour. He was about 30degrees propped up by the bobby cushion, and he pulled himself up. Then he looked to one shoulder, fell back. He sat up almost as far, then fell again. I was stunned. I think it was just a fluke, and he might not do it again for weeks, but I saw it. I'm not completly crazy, promise. Pretty Amazing that kid. I'm nuts about him.

G'night....
