Not so new, new years resolution

Well, how are all of you? Wondering about the title are you? Well, I shall reveal the reason behind it in a few minutes. Maddie is doing great. She has a checkup tomorrow. I can't wait, more shots! That was sarcastic of corse. Kenzie had her last day of school until August today. She is sad that she won't see her friends as much until then. I am trying to get envolved in a few things for her. I found a place that she can play soccer, but she can't do that until fall. I am also going to be doing a library thing with her. I also found a local play group for the girls. They are meeting at the Library tomorrow, but we can't go because I have the appointment with Maddie which I think is much more important. Ryan is doing well. I did make some of the accents for Maddie's birthday cake today. I think I e mailed it to all of you. Now for the title of the blog for today. My friend Beth D. and I have vowed that we are going to do a weight loss thing together. We both want to loose weight and trim down, so we are going to be each other's support. She has more to loose than I do, but I will be there with her every step of the way. And she will do the same for me. I will keep you all posted as things occur. I decided to start using my pedometer tonight and went for a walk around the block, two laps equals 2630 steps. Wow! I didn't realize how easy it was to walk for so many steps. I want my ultimate goal to be 10k steps a day. I do hope I can do it. Like I said I will keep you updated as I progress. Wish me luck!
Love,
~Dawn~

The importance of connections

 Many times, we don't take the opportunity in life to think about connections. Much like the way legos connect to erect the building or vehicle you are trying to create, without connecting pieces, our lives would fall apart. It's not often that we take time to reflect on those connections in meaningful ways. If I am honest, when we moved from Indiana back to Florida, we didn't appreciate the connections we had and so as I look back I wonder what life would have been like if we'd not only appreciated those connections, but supported them in meaningful ways.  Since moving to Greenville, not only have we made connections, but we've made it a part of life to connect with those people we've met that have become more like family than friends. We took the time to find a church that really believes in connecting with their people and not in a way that makes the patrons of the church feel like they are just a player in the game of chess and that player's job is to be

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
