Wow Six Months in St. Louis.

I can't believe it has been six months since we have moved here. It seems strange to be in this area. I spend time wondering what I am doing here and what possible purpose there is for me here. We have gotten into a regular routine with work for us.

We have decided to do a Joy school program again this year, which we are doing with one other mom. It has blossomed a new friendship for both the girls and the moms. We have really enjoyed it. We are finishing up a unit on the Joy of the Earth. Which I have so loved. We are getting ready for a Halloween party and have a new friend from the gym joining us for the party. Hopefully they too will join us for Joy school. We will see.

Chris's early work time and the fact that we are now sharing one car means I am up at 5:30 am nearly every morning. I have been very consistent at working out during this time when I drop him off and have to be at work myself. I am once again working at a fitness center day care. Gigi gets to come with me. So she has been getting up early too. I am proud to say, I am finally loosing all the weight I put on from the move. It has taken two months of consistency to finally see a change. Yea!

In addition I have started to get my energy back. I have suffered from low energy and small amounts of depression at times. Thus making it very difficult to play and entertain children. I have started to really enjoy watching Gigi play again. I think I missed a lot of this when she was younger as Katie's needs prevented it. I am extremely happy to be feeling more exuberance for life again.
