Something blue and something new...

No, I'm not talking about a wedding, I'm talking about my car. As many of you know I rolled my Explorer on the 17th. It's the something blue...

God had His arms wrapped around my vehicle and I had to have had ten of His angels with me too. I will miss this car. It was a God car, just ask Katie and Mike, they went shopping with me for it. The tow truck driver drove it out of the ditch and said, "Okay, it's drivable, good luck on the rest of your trip." I drove it from outside of Browning to Whitefish.

Here is the something new...another God car. I went shopping this last Sunday with Johnny and Betty Dustin. We looked at several Explorers and the last lot we looked at had this one. It's the one I got yesterday.

Ready or not here I come!

After a long debate (with myself of course) I get to come to Great Falls for the weekend! I'm very excited to see old friends. I miss you guys and can't wait to see how big the kids are getting. See you when I get there!

Tae Bo and Loving it!

The secret to how I managed to get back into my Wranglers. When teaching gym I started a morning program with my kids. They could come in twice a week and workout with me. As one of the perks to doing that we did different activities than we did in class. One of these activities was tae bo for kids. They loved it so I ended up using it in class too. Well, I loved it also. I continued using 2 or 3 times a week. What a difference. I just went out and bought a second DVD, it's his favorite moves. I had so much fun working out this morning. You can find them at you local department stores. The best part is I can do it at home where nobody sees, very little space needed, but everybody notices the results.
