So I finally sit down and write!
Three things inspire me to write my first blog on this very special day.......Memorial Day, Workouts and the thought of moving to Austin!
Memorial Day- Although I always work right through the Memorial Day weekend I always take a moment to remember and honor my most favorite veteran and the best Grandpa anyone could ask for......Leon Barrientes! I know this is not Veteran's day but for some reason this holiday will always remind me of his beautiful spirit and why I always chose him as my hero. Like every other Memorial Day, I couldn't help but catch myself smiling and laughing about all the interviews Grandpa would so patiently sit through just so I could complete a school assignment. On Memorial Day I always remember the "Hero" interview.......I chose him as mine and decided I would interview him about his years of service in the Navy. One of the many reasons I will always admire Grandpa. It feels like just yesterday we were sitting next to eachother talking about how he would go out to sea for months........Grandpa would always answer my questions with a story and after every interview he would say his famous words...Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. Needless to say, I always aced my projects and was left with memories of my Grandpa I will never forget! We Love You and Miss You Grandpa, Our #1 Veteran!
Workouts- For those of you who might find it hard to believe...I will not mention any names...TAYLOR....I am on my second week of working out. I am so proud of myself! Unfortunately, working out does not come easy for me like it does for some.....once again I will not mention any names.....JUGHEAD........... so two weeks is a big deal. I currently weigh in at 130 lbs and would not be surprised if most of that is body fat! So obviously I am working out to get toned not lose weight. I have also already started to feel the benefits of working out....energy! This past week I can count only one time that I yawned at work, people say I have a "glow", and my body is sore but already feels stronger! So please pray that I continue to have the motivation to keep up the good work!
This brings me to the last thought of the day....moving to Austin?!?
Today Jaime and I were having luch together and some how we got on the topic of moving to Austin.....our lease is up at the end of August. We have discussed this issue many times but everytime we get conflicted. So here are my thoughts and then you all can give me advice!
When this issue comes to mind I weed out the pros and cons:
Pros: Because my sisters live there- I miss them and hate being away from them
I would get to see my parents more often so that means we could all be together more often too!
I wouldn't be so bored all the time
I would be happier because I would feel complete
Basically, I wouldn't have to miss out on everything anymore and when Jaime is at work I could be with my family!
Cons: Finding new jobs
Expense of moving
What if we don't like living in Austin after all??
Help! I don't know what to do? I need some advice!
Well, how about that for my first blog?!? Gotta go work out!
Love You All,
Claudia
Little Sister! I LOVE your first blog, you made me cry, laugh, and smile all at the same time! You are so brave, I don't know any women who would post their real weight on here for the world to see, but that makes you you!
ReplyDeleteSo for the last item on your blog, I didn't realize this topic was still open for discussion, I would have been selling my city for awhile now! Basically here is my stand, you would be more happy here because you have all of us, period.
All of your little worries and struggles wouldn't seem so large, because we would be here to help, talk to and relieve all that built up stress I KNOW you sit and analyize.
Yall are young, and nothing is tying you down, this is the time. Nothing is ever perminant, if it doesn't work out, you can always go back. Simple as that, don't over think it, and at least you won't have to think about all the "What if's"! Love you and keep them coming!
yay yay yay! That was me jumping for joy that you wrote a blog..that was heartwarming!!
