I sit in the waiting room with Shane & Shane blasting in my ears on Pandora. I hear, "I'm overwhelmed by Your love." I love those words. The love I feel for both of my kids is nothing compared to how much He loves me and my children. It totally sucks that Teague has to have this surgery today making it his second one. But, I feel safe, loved, and totally at peace. Dr. S can treat Teague and perform surgery, but only God can heal my baby. Thank you friends for all of your prayers. I update a lot more on Instagram. So follow for more frequent updates.<br>

Not happening in a timely manner. <br />
<br />
I'm also supposed to be finishing the 5 billionth load of laundry so Drew can wear his Cobalt blue pants. That's also not happening right now.<br />
<br />
I need to paint my nails. {I did get Finn's done, toes and fingers! It was awesome trying to tell my 2-year-old not to move a bazillion times.} But I need to make the bed first for obvious reasons. It's a domino effect. I'm stalling. Mama wants to have a little fun and I'd like one minute to myself. Chaos will ensue in the morning. Also for obvious reasons and it's Easter.<br />

I trained for 8 weeks, ran the race, and well.... that was it. Then I convinced myself a month later that I still wasn't happy with my body. I had an almost 2-year-old baby and I still felt gross.<br />
<br />
Insert Insanity. I did it. It was insane. The first month was a challenge, but got easier. Then the second month it just got crazy. I'll never forget Shaun T's words, "don't give up!" I didn't, I kept going and I finished. My body changed a tiny bit. I lost 5 pounds, but my body didn't change as drastically as I'd hoped.<br />
<br />
Months went by.<br />
<br />
In January I started working at the Y and I got a membership - Drew was convinced I'd never work out. I wanted to prove him wrong. So I agreed to work 8 hours a week off-site and on-site. I'm a healthy-U instructor and I love it! I teach kids how to maintain a healthy lifestyle and we get to play games with them for about an hour at a time. I'd work out a little here and a little there.<br />
<br />
My boss Monica is also a trainer and I'd often confide in her and tell her my body struggles. Her response was constantly "run, it will change your life". She'd give me different things to try and of course I never did it. Because last year it <i>didn't</i> change my life. And I just never found the time because I'd fill my mornings with things to do with the kids. Then, I'd work in the afternoon a few days a week. Then I'd come home and start dinner and fulfill other commitments, bath time, bed time and the day is over.<br />
<br />
I wasn't finding time to work out. When I worked that was working out right? Wrong.<br />
<br />
After I came back from Haiti I was dealing with culture shock. Not culture shock to Haiti. Culture shock coming back into the US. How can that be you ask? I don't know. But what I can tell you is that it was really hard. My head was processing and dealing with things that had nothing to do with Haiti. But like all things, I needed to deal with it on my own - with God. I don't ever like to involve/invite other parties to my "stuff". EVER. Not Even Drew. I'm an independent kinda girl. Always have been. Probably always will be.<br />
<br />
So I took to running it out. It worked really well in college. Why not try it now? So I started out slow and here's what I've learned:<br />
<br />
*Once you pass about mile 2.25 your body just goes and you can run forever. At least that's how I feel. {If you have good form.} I've been running 5 or more miles at a time! I also continually increase my speed because my legs kick it into high gear.<br />
<br />
*Music accompanied by TV subtitles are an excellent distraction for the mind. You're brain is so focused on other things that it forgets how much your body tells you it doesn't want to keep running. When I say you, I mean me. I love it, because when I run outside, that's all I ever hear from my body is, "stop running, stop running, seriously stop running, you don't need to run."<br />
<br />
*Having a water bottle with a straw is so awesome when you run because you can keep refueling your body. Some people feel like they want to throw up. NEVER the case here. I can exercise on a full stomach.<br />
<br />
*A towel is handy to wipe your face with.<br />
<br />
So I will say this, pairing running with my "frustrations" {if you will} for the last month has really jumpstarted a new love for running. Monica was right, it <i>IS</i> changing my life! It has helped heal my mind and my body in ways I didn't think possible. My only goal is to run 3 times a week and on off days do other forms of cardio or yoga/pilates.<br />
<br />
I also got to thinking the other day during a run, I really need to be spending more time with God whether it's reading the word or flat out praying. As much as I exercise my body, I should be exercising my spiritual life.... New Goals!<br />
<br />

I've been busy enjoying time away from blogging. I love reading other blogs, but lets face it. If you want lots followers - which is nice, but not necessary - you have to post every. day. I just don't want to spend that kind of time on my blog. But since I'm here I'd like to take this personal space of mine and take it in a new direction. Not sure where yet. I'll let you know.<br />
<br />
I really need to blog about my trip to Haiti, post pictures, and decompress a little. Decompress: a tool I wasn't given at the end of my trip. I felt like I was left hanging and emotional and unable to figure out where all of my feelings were coming from. But that's another post.<br />
<br />
I digress.<br />
<br />
Right now I'd like to introduce you to my new friend Mac. <br />

She entered our life yesterday. After 2 computer crashes in a year, we decided to say goodbye to PCs. You see, we've been slowly converting over to apples. First my iPhone, then Drew's iPhone, and after our first crash we bought an iPad because Drew had business to do on the computer - so that was the next best thing until we figured out what happened with our PC. Now we have a new Macintosh! Such a yummy apple, and a yummy computer too! I have to say I'm in love! This thing is so easy to use and although not the same as our phones or iPad it has many similar features with some nice additions.</div>

November: Alex was Sebastian in the Little Mermaid and Noah played several smaller parts including a Sailor. One of my favorite roles Alex has played - his Sebastian voice was incredible! I made Thanksgiving dinner. Drew turned 28!</div>

Do you ever have moments where you're so utterly irritated that you just can't keep it in any longer? Well sadly, that was me today. I lost it. Totally mad at our neighbor's construction workers who are constantly parking in front of our driveway. The neighbors are renovating their kitchen and have been working on it for a few months now. I've been trying to keep it together and let it go and I just couldn't. I'm so mad at myself for going over to our neighbors house and telling him how frustrated I am. No, I didn't need to use the driveway. And no, I didn't swear at him. I just wanted him to be considerate of our space. The kicker was that his own driveway was wide open. What. The. Heck? I just have such a hard time understanding why people can't be respectful of others!? To tell you the truth the noise they've been making day after day doesn't bother me one bit and there are plenty of places to park on our street. Why my driveway??? If you made it this far, thank you for listening, I feel better. And I fully intend on going over there later to apologize for my behavior. I go feel guilty and kind of ashamed. I missed an opportunity to act like Jesus.Rebecca Maierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17127914027948174309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1816398099617513378.post-80823505424981892162012-11-29T16:53:00.001-05:002012-11-29T16:53:38.296-05:00{Day 6} Mexico<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I didn't wear makeup. What's the point since we were about to go snorkeling? {Might I add that I am not a water person. at. all. Well, I was a swimmer in high school, but the diving area always caused me a lot of anxiety. Deep water freaks me out! Somehow in my mind I always saw shark potential in the deep end. I know, I know it's not possible and a shark could never survive long in chlorinated water! But it scared me! So you can imagine my total apprehension for snorkeling.} Drew was of course the first person in the ocean and I just waited until there were others in the water. My logic: if there are people surrounding me, then surely if a shark comes and starts attacking us then I won't be the first person it finds! I also needed to use the same logic as I used when I zip lined. If I don't take this chance, I could be missing out on an awesome opportunity! I can't let fear run my life. So I took the plunge - literally. The water was beautiful and we saw all kids of really cool fish and sea urchins and a jelly fish. We even got to swim through a cave to a beach on the other side. That hole {the one with the beach on the other side of the cave} was made by test bombs during one of the World Wars. At this point I became nauseous and needed to head back to the boat for some fresh water. That meant I had to swim by myself. So I did, I was ridiculously freaked out, but I did it! I ate some snacks and drank some water which totally helped me feel better.<br />
<br />
Something else that I noticed was how extremely powerful the ocean is. It was so amazing to watch the waves carry us all around like we were little... really we looked like a little school of <strike>humans</strike> fish just floating in the water. I just can't compare it to Lake Michigan it is that strong.</td></tr>

So our neighbors who've been to PV several times said we HAD to go to PiPi's for guac and margaritas! It was hard to find because it was pretty much in a alley but so worth it. I have to say the most disappointing part of our trip is that our all inclusive really didn't have authentic Mexican food except for one night. However, when we travelled out of our resort we were NEVER disappointed!!</td></tr>

This was the zipline, horseback riding, tequilla tour portion of our trip. They wouldn't let us take our camera on the zipline, so we opted for the video (we need help with this making it compatible with our computer if anyone is willing to help) and we had a blast. Once again, when you're out on the line alone and the only thing holding you up is a harness, and a couple of carabiners you pray for God's hand to literally come up under you and hold you until you reach the other end. *Disclaimer: I used to be much more daring, and much less of a wuss. Having kids changes your fears - it gives you new ones and heightens the existing ones.* However, I choose not to let my fears cripple me. And on this particular day I chose to fly through the air, 10 times. Once upside down, twice with someone else, but mostly all. by. my. lonesome. It was worth every second!</div>

Some other things that happened (I just don't want to forget): <br />
<br />
We met people almost every single day {Jeff, Jill, Lisa, Chris, Brady, Sam, Jessica, Carlos, Amanda, Becky, Jennifer, and a whole bunch of others} thanks to my very social husband. I tend to clam up. I don't know why people scare me so much?! <br />
<br />
When they had Mexican night at the hotel Drew ate 12 tacos and tried an onion that was in the habanero salsa and couldn't eat for about 5 minutes because his mouth was on fire.<br />

I prayed: for everyone on the plane, the ladies in my bible study, basically everyone, if I know you I prayed for you! I know statistically a lot more car accidents happen but there's something about not being on the ground that freaks me out! Lots of love to all and more prayers coming your way since we are on the 2nd leg!<br />

The check list for both of us is 3 pages long to make sure we don't forget anything. That doesn't include the kids. I'm headed out this morning to do a front loader study at whirlpool this morning. Perfect time, since we could always use a little extra cash for vacation. Drew is taking the kids to story hour.</div>

Today, since it was gloomy and raining off and on we headed to a local farm to pick up some pumpkins, gourds, and mums. These photos are not in the right order, but after we paid for everything Teague wanted to go check out the kids area. The only thing Teague would've added to this experience is a hayride and maybe some doughnuts. Not maybe, he loves doughnuts - a doughnut in his presence wouldn't last 5 minutes. Happy weekend friends.</div>

Enjoying the last few days of summer. {I'm craving panera for dinner.} Teague has been begging to go every day since Sunday. Finley loves chasing seagulls. Teague loves playing in the sand and jumping in the water. I love finding beach glass! And soaking up some sun!<br />

Since we live a mile from the beach we like to go as often as <strike>possible</strike> I'm willing to clean up all the sand and lug all of our stuff and Finley to the lake. It's a job! And in the middle of the day when the sand is hot it's darn near impossible. (Especially when the flies are biting and you can feel the skin burning off your feet - true story, I did come home with blisters this summer because I carried e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g plus Finley through scorching hot sand. Thankfully, Teague had his shoes and not flip-flops.)</div>
