I'm a little nervous about waking up in the morning after all the walking and running I did today. My legs are sore now and I can only imagine what they will feel like after being relaxed in one position all night. This morning the kids and I decided to take Tibbles for a walk. My oldest and youngest were on skateboards and Shay held Tibbles leash. We didn't get far when I had a brilliant idea. My friend borrowed my truck for a couple days while her van was getting worked on. She called yesterday to say it was fixed, so I decided we could walk across post to pick it up. We came back home to get some water and headed out to her house. I'm not really good at guessing distance, but I'd say it was over a mile. That's not really very far in reality, but most of the way I was practically speed walking to keep up with the skateboards.
This afternoon was pretty uneventful. We played some games and picked up around the house a little and watched some tv. My husband called on skype this afternoon which was fabulous! I love talking to him and seeing him on the computer screen. I'm so ready to see him in person, but he'll be home in God's time. What a fabulous day that will be. I can just see him now, walking off the plane and running towards me. I can hardly wait! Until then Skype will have to do... I love you baby!
Tristan had his babysitters course today through the edge program here on post. When I went to pick him up, he said he had a good time, but it was a little awkward. He ended up being the only boy there. Luckily he knew one of the girls so he had someone to sit with. He's not a shy kid by any means and he really doesn't care what other people think about him (he gets that from his dad) so I'm sure he was just fine.
This evening I had the bright idea of going for a short run. My legs were already sore from running last night and then all the walking this morning. If I keep it up though, my legs will get use to it and stop hurting. I just have to convince myself to stay motivated. I just keep telling myself that if my husband can do what he's doing than the least I can do is start running again so when he gets back I'll be able to go the distance with him. He loves it when I go running with him and since we've been here in Hawaii I haven't done much of that with him. When he gets home I'll be in shape and ready to keep him company on his runs... All for you baby!
I loved spending so much time with my kids today. If this is any indication of how the whole summer will be, it will be a great one! The only thing missing is Trint, but you can be sure we'll be spending as much time as possible on skype with him... We can't wait to see you again baby! We love you so much!
