Blogging Break....obviously

Hi!

To those of you who haven't forgotten about me and still check to see if I'm alive, I am very grateful!! I have obviously been on a blogging break, although it really wasn't planned. I have been trying to add exercise into my daily, already packed to the gills, schedule. I was successful for awhile, but then we all caught the flu and then I added bronchitis to the mix, and I've fallen off the bandwagon. However, I am trying to re-add it, again. All that being said, I've just had to nix a lot of computer time. For awhile I tried just reading all of your blogs to stay in touch, but I was just falling further and further behind. So, I figure, I'm pretty much on a blogging break until summer. I realize summer is exactly when a lot of you GO on a blogging break, but that is the only time I have extra time. I really do miss you all and knowing what is happening with whom...but, it's a matter of keeping priorities in line. If anything major happens, please feel free to post a comment on my blog or e-mail me at joshruthburton@bellsouth. net (take out the space). May Jesus bless you and keep you safe!! I miss you all.

You Know You're Starting a New Habit When...

You know you are starting something new when....after you return from an hour of "working out", your 8 year-old tells you that you don't look like a "workout person". Just you wait, buddy. I will look like one yet! =o)

Sniff!

Well, vacation is over. Back to school and work tomorrow. It's been good, but it's never long enough. Grades are coming due soon, so I'll be busy. I'm already behind in everybody's posts, but I'll be by soon. Blessings to you all, and have a great week!

Happy 2008!

Happy New Year! Yesterday our family went over to Trella's and spent the afternoon and early evening with them. It was good to see them and catch up. I caught her up a bit on blogland. The kids had fun playing the Wii.

Today Josh and I took down the Christmas decorations. However, this year we did it RIGHT. I went to Walmart and bought some red storage containers. We sorted through all of our Christmas stuff and weeded out what we wanted and what we didn't. Everything is now stored in the nice red bins for Christmas next year. I even straightened out all the wrapping supplies! I commented on how nice it was going to be decorating for Christmas next year!

Ben and Matt both have a friend over for the night, so there is a little extra activity here tonight. Everybody gets along great, so it really works out great. With the rest of the week, we want to get a few projects done plus see 2 movies. We NEVER go see movies, but we both want to see National Treasure and Waterhorse. Maybe we can get one in tomorrow.

I hope everybody had a great start to 2008 today!!
