update

We are still alive! Sorry it's been a while since I posted. I always feel bad when I let several days go by because I know I get sad when I check my friends' blogs and they haven't updated either. I normally blog during naptime, but those have basically been non-existent for us the past 3-4 days. I don't know what's going on with Anderson. Teething? Ear infection? Whatever it is, he's not napping well at all and I need my normal baby back! Yesterday was a very hard day... I was up early, we were on the go all morning, then came home for nap, and he slept maybe 45 minutes. After that, he decided he wanted to cry pretty much the rest of the afternoon. Good thing I had Bible Study last night... I needed a night out! :) He's asleep now and I'm praying he stays down for a while... because we both need it.

Anyway! We do have some good news... David got a much needed/wanted promotion at work that he's been waiting on for quite a while now. He's now working at the Capital Bank in Wake Forest instead of downtown. His new title is "Commercial Portfolio Manager". Sounds fancy, right? :) I am so so proud of him and believe he deserves this so much.

On a completely different note... I have started waking up at 6am every day. I used to sleep until about 7:15 or so, then get right in the shower and go about my day. I have started to exercise and have quiet times when I wake up now. Camden doesn't get up until 7am, so I have a whole hour to myself to do these things. Since high school, I've never had a regular exercise routine, other than walking (with a kid in tow) occasionally. I started to feel a heaviness on my heart that I need to make sure I'm taking care of ME so that I can do my job and take care of my family. I have to tell you... I am really really enjoying it! I have so much energy after I work out and it just makes me feel SO good. I am SO SORE though... but I'm thankful I can see the fruit of my labor. :) Do any of y'all have any recommendations of good exercise videos I should try?? Please let me know your suggestions! I have been using FitTV and Exercise on Demand, but I'd love something else to spice it up a little.

So, that's basically what's new around here. Hope everyone is having a great rainy (soon to be snow... ugh) Tuesday!
