Wow, es increible ver que ha pasado el tiempo tan rapido y no me he sentado a escribir o poner alguna foto. Bueno, la verdad es que no le he comprado nuevas baterias a la camara y no he podido sacar ninguna foto, lo cual es una lastima porque hemos tenido algunas reuniones entre amigos que me hubiera gustado poner en este blog. Por lo demas , he estado super ocupada con mis hijos, la casa, el llamamiento, y un sin fin de cosas... Erik esta mucho mejor de su pie, pues resulto no ser una fractura sino que se lastimo "algo" (no nos dijeron que) pero ya puede caminar bien. Yo di mi primera clase en las Mujeres Jovenes y aunque me puse nerviosa, creo que no estuvo tan mal. Ademas tenemos un chorro de cosas que hacer ahora que se vienen las epocas de fiestas y pues espero poder estar al corriente con este blog que es como mi nuevo bebe.
Por otra parte estoy haciendo algo por mi misma, estoy levantandome todos los dias a las 5:30 a.m. para irme a correr en la pista de carreras que esta detras de mi casa. He luchado duro contra las sabanas y el colchon para librarme de sus garras y poder correr dos millas diarias. Bueno, ahorita es dos millas, pero cada semana le aumento un cuarto de milla mas para asi ir incrementando la distancia poco a poco sin lastimarme. Es super increible lo bien que uno se siente cuando has forzado a tu cuerpo a hacer algo fuera de lo normal (bueno en mi caso). La verdad es que me gustaria bajar unas buenas libritas, pero aun no he visto nada, solo mi capacidad de aguantar mas distancia cada semana. Yo creo que mi corazon se ha de estar poniendo en muy buena condicion, aunque mi cuerpo todavia no:(. Por otro lado, tambien quiero ejercitar mi bienestar espiritual, y todos los dias despues de que regreso de correr, leo mis escrituras, 1 o 2 capitulos. La verdad es que tambien necesito de esta fortaleza porque para los tiempos en que vivimos y teniendo dos hijos adolescentes, no veo otra mejor manera de prepararme para ser una buena mama. Bueno, procurare comprar mas pilas para mi camara y luego nos vemos.
Wow, it's unbelievable how fast time goes by and I just haven't sat down to write something or at least post a picture. Well, the truth is I haven't bought new batteries for my camara and that's why I haven't being able to take any, which is a bummer because we've had some nice get togethers with friends. Also, I have been so busy with my children, the house, my calling, and just a ton of things... Erik is doing so much better, his foot ended up not being fractured after all,
the doctor said "something" was injured (he didn't tell us what) but at least it has healed and Erik is walking normal finally. I gave my first lesson in Young Women on Sunday, and even though I felt nervous, it wasn't too bad. Besides we now have a lot of things coming with all the holidays in the following months, so I will try to keep up with everything that's going on.
On the other hand, I am doing something for myself. I am getting up everyday at 5:30 a.m. to go running on the track behind my house. I've been fighting furiously with the sheets and the mattress to free myselft from their grasp and go run for two miles. Well, I am running two miles right now, this week, but every week I add another lap (1/4 mile), so I can slowly build up on the distance without hurting myself. I just love the super great feeling you get when you have forced your body to do something out of the ordinary (at least in my case). The truth is I would love to lose a few (LOTS) pounds, but I haven't seen any change yet :( I've only seen the change in my capacity to run a little farther every week and I guess my heart must be looking PRETTY GOOD even if my body is not. No matter, I will not give up, like Dory said, -"Just keep moving, just keep moving"-. Yes, it's from Finding Nemo, in case you didn't know.
I'm also exercising my spirit, by reading my scriptures everyday after I get home from running. The truth is, I really, really need that spiritual strength. Living in these days and with two teenagers, I don't know of any other better way to try and be a better, prepared mom. Okay, I will get some new batteries and see you next week.
Lunch, Please

Wow, you are amazing! I was doing pretty good running every morning on our treadmill (uh, it's still way too hot outside!!) but have slacked for a couple days. It does feel great to get moving and work those tired muscles! I admire your strength and conviction -- keep reading!!
