Food Report
Another pretty good day. No chips and no icecream. It wasn't as hard today. Although I have had thoughts of the WW chocolate fudge bar in the freezer. But I'm really fine. I made real gluten free pancakes this morning for the family instead of my usual protein oatmeal pancakes. So my calories for breakfast were huge. I had eggs and hashbrowns for lunch. My husband thought that was so weird. Breakfast for lunch? I personally don't see the big deal with that. That's why there are restaurants that serve b-fast 24 hrs. Anyway, I had a healthy afternoon snack. Then my husband and I went to a meeting at church and afterwards we were both hungry and drove through Taco Bell. I ordered a regular Taco and a Tostada. Well, after I had the Taco, I decided not to have the Tostada. When we got home I had yogurt (and I had had a snack protein bar at church). I was proud of myself for that.

No exercise today.

Daily Joy
During Carter's nap today, Chris and Collin went to run an errand and I was alone for a while. Amazing! I sat on the couch and read some of a romance novel. Completely fun, no real use whatsoever kind of book. Felt really good. Think I'll finish here in a few minutes (after I make my grocery list).

Daily Gratitude
I am thankful for the work God is doing in our lives. I will explain more below but I love the church we are going to and feel God is going to do something in my family.

Church Membership??
So we have been attending a Baptist church where Collin goes to preschool for about a year now. Neither of us are Baptist, but the church we were going to was too small and had a poor children's program. So we decided to come here. Well, my husband really likes the pastor and the children's program here at this church. But that's about it. He thinks it's too big and he complains about parking problems. (a small stupid detail I'm willing to put up with). So to help make our decision about what we should do, we decided to attend the class that introduces you to the church, goes over the history and explains what they believe.
I loved it. I felt very moved, I really like their focus, their approach to ministry and everything. I really feel like this is the place for our family. I'm ready to fill out the membership card. But my husband is not sure still. I think he is leaning in that direction more than he was before, but he still has reservations.
I had reservations before the class because I went to a Baptist school my entire grade and high school (preschool even). And they were very strict-I had to wear dresses every day. And they preached Hell Fire Brimstone type of thing all the time. I greatly appreciate my Baptist education, but do not wish to raise my children in that strict an environment. This church is nothing like that and now that I see their statement of faith, I feel even more comfortable here.
But I'm just worried about Chris' decision in this. I guess all I can do is pray. If this is where God wants us, then I believe He will work in Chris' heart. If not, then there is another church that will be a better fit for us. But I feel so impatient!
Okay, enough venting about that. I need to go make that grocery list so I can finish my trashy romance novel.

Edited to add: I've been playing around with photos tonight, trying to update my profile pics. Can you see these pictures very well? The Christmas picture was the most recent decent picture of me but Collin wouldn't turn around to have his picture taken. But it looks blury.
