Church, Theives and new Opportunities

I went to Church  last night...not that kind of church!

 Eric Church came to town and I went with my sister to see him. Absolutely fabulous! He put on a great concert. I had sore feet from standing pretty much the whole time. I can't imagine the ladies wearing heels...goodness! Mr. Church has great energy and the place was jumping the whole night. Love it when I can spend some time with my sister too.

Got my car broken into...well lets be honest I think I might have left my car unlocked at the parking lot for the skytrain. Not the smartest move. On my way to meet my sister I was second guessing myself and texted John to go and check the car out. I am assuming between the time of him getting to the parking lot and me leaving it..stupid thieves took their opportunity. John specifically told me he didn't get out of his car when he went to check on it. He just locked it as he drove by. So when I got to my car and notice the tray from the middle console was out...I knew someone had been in my car! It took awhile for me to figure out what they had even stolen. We had a dash cam and they had taken it...but the stupid thieves didn't take the wiring out. It will kind of be useless to the next person.
We had all our ball gear in the back, but I guess they just did a quick grab and go.
BAH!! I felt so stupid for doing that. I had to go back to the car when I left it there and I guess between me trying to hurry and doing something out of my ordinary getting out of the car. I left it unlocked. Glad they didn't break a window though. That would have been more damage to pay for :(

Thankfully I didn't have to work today. I can imagine there are some tired people today.
I took the rest of the week off my old job as I am starting a new position next week. Might as well use up my vacation time. But that vacation time has been spent carting my family around. My dad fell on Sunday night and brook his wrist. With him being paralyzed on the left side he tends to break everything on that side. He is okay...sore, but otherwise pretty good. He couldn't drive for the last few days, so I was driving him around. Glad to help.

Also got to see my niece a bit more this week as my parents take care of her. She is so much fun, but so much work. There is only so much coloring I can do haha! Love her to bits and pieces though. She needs to practice on saying Auntie Ronnie though!

Back to the new job topic. I am scared and excited. I did like where I was working before but the commute on the car was a bit much. Plus there was no room for me to move up. Our household needs me to be able to make a bit more moola so I hope this new job gives me that opportunity. I am the type that needs to learn and move forward. I didn't see any room in my old job. I did love the people I worked with though. That is the worst part about leaving. I did my job well and I know I will be missed. Toot Tooting my own horn a bit there.

Going to an open house at the gym tonight to see about a new workout program they are starting up next week. I really wanted John to come with me, but he just got invited to watch the Canucks play. (you don't pass down free hockey tickets in this town). The part I am worried about the most is going in and being the girl who is the least fit. I haven't been going regularly in over three weeks. What is my problem:(

First Ramblings

I can't tell you how many times I have attempted to start a blog. I start them for a purpose and then I end up forgetting about them. Or not feeling like I have the writing ability to keep up with all those amazing bloggers out there.

But that all being said...I am trying again!

I will make grammar mistakes. I will make spelling mistakes. I might ramble. I might not be funny. But I am me. I am slowly discovering and loving myself more and more. I guess its this getting older thing. I am becoming or at least trying to be happier with my own skin.

I believe most of this blog will be about my weight ups and downs. I would love to say it will be about my weight loss, but my track record in that field isn't so good. I tend to get on board for a month or two. Lose some weight.....and then slowly fall off the wagon. And gain it back.

I am very good at the research end of things. I can read up on Paleo or the latest exercise. How to lift weights...but then when it comes to application..I wuss out! I would love to have some extra cash flow where I could pay for a trainer. But that obviously isn't happening in my world these days :(

Marriage might be another topic. I am officially engaged right now. When will the marriage happen....sometimes I think never. We can't afford a wedding. And honestly I don't think J is even really interested. Am I okay with that? Yes and no. Yes because I never even thought I would get married to him in the first place. Can't teach an old dog new tricks. No because I would love to be married to him....quite the conundrum.

Kids... They aren't mine and sometimes that is even worse. I tend to play this line with them. Something I struggle with daily. I love them to bits and appreciate their quirks, but gosh darn it would they just clean up some more. Are boys always so gross? Actually yes they are...I remember my brother!

Basically everyday life....but with a dose of living, laughing and loving. Its my main mantra in life. I try to keep a smile and a happy thought to make the daily struggle that much more easier. It is not an easy task, but how else can you appreciate the sunrise/sunset or the mountains around you!
