Today's Present Participle List

Outside My Window: It is HOT! It has been over 100 degrees for days now and will continue to be until the weekend!

Reading: The Bomb - with Josh and the kids. The first book we've all read together in a really long time. Brody is a little bored but he's tolerating it.  I'm really trying to get into this book since it was MY suggestion for book club. 

Making:  List after list because that is what I do. 

Working: Trying to get everything done so that I can be off for just over a week.  So looking forward to time away!

Listening: To a few new podcasts:  The Art of Simple and The Read Aloud Revival.  We (I) read aloud a lot with our boys and plan to continue to, it is a ritual that I can't imagine letting go of. 

Hoping: That I can get my butt in gear and start running again so that I can do a September 5k with Amy.  I really need to run but can't make myself get up in the morning...struggling with a little indulgence issue I think.

Planning:  Our back to back trips that start this week.  A very long weekend in Pacific City, Oregon with one group of friends followed up by another long weekend in Hood River with a different group.  Josh and I are finishing that my cashing in my Christmas White Water Rafting gift certificates.  So excited!

Wanting: To get caught up or at least restarted on my photo album/Project Life; or really even just blogging again. I feel the need to capture our memories and retain a little bit of who I am.

Loving:  My husband - that's not news I guess.  I'm just very happy with where we are and the work we put in to get here.  He's the best partner for me and father for our boys.

Wanting: Well not really wanting because its ridiculously priced but I'm admiring the new Fitbit Bracelet from Tory Burch. It's already gone from the Tory Burch site so I can't even link there.
