News...

I went to the doctor today and received some bad/good news. I have diabetes; however, it can be controlled with diet and exercise. I am starting some medication tomorrow that will help in all of this. I am more excited than down about the news. It is the swift kick in the rear that I needed to get my health life in order. We have to get this under control along with some other factors before trying to get pregnant again. Mostly, I look forward to getting back into all the clothes that have collected millions of dust bunnies in my closet. Yes, I used to have cute clothes--and I still do, I just haven't fit in them for awhile. Coby is going on the diet with me and I will join his already resurrected work out plan. Believe it or not, I used to be a work-out junkie-- that was prior to moving to St. George and getting swamped in my career, then marriage and then motherhood. Now I am glad to show Ben the best way to live-- healthy.
Speaking of Ben, he is such a big boy now. He helps me do laundry (putting clothes into the dryer for me, then closing the door) and he absolutely LOVES doing dishes with me. Although we long for the day we have a dishwasher, it's actually really nice to teach my son good old-fashioned work to build that ever important work ethic. I'll post some pics of him helping me around the house soon.
Coby has officially turned his application in to the Washington County Sheriff's Department. He has prepared himself to pass the physical and has passed the POST test. If this works out, we'll be staying in St. George for who knows how long. If it doesn't, I don't expect us to be here at the end of next year. We'll see.
Hope you are getting prepared for Thanksgiving. I know it's going to be hard not to gorge this year-- kind of a bad time to start dieting, but I also want to make sure I am committed and what better way than to (hopefully) stand strong at the most tempting time of the year. Yikes!

Keep blogging-- this site is so lonely for my friends.
