Wow, it's been three weeks since I last posted.

Sorry.

I told you before I was going to take things a little slower, do more things for me and my family, etc.

Since I last posted, my husband and I have joined a gym. The office here established a program with a couple of the gyms in the county to offset some of the cost, and the one we joined has day care, so we thought we'd give it a shot.

We also signed up for personal trainers.

My husband thinks I did it to kill him. I just think he whines too much. We're sore, we're tired, but we're actually accomplishing something. I guess Gabe did inspire us to be a bit more athletic. He sure seems to enjoy the play gym in the day care area.

There are days I'd rather join him than work out on the torture machines, but getting in shape will do us good. Perhaps it will even keep us around a little longer to spend more time with Gabe.

We've also been eating better, thanks to the diets designed by our trainers. We're trying to stick with them anyway. It also gives me more of a chance to use that new kitchen.

We've also been going on walks, and we took Gabe to see Thomas The Tank Engine at the Fillmore and Western Railway. That's always a fun trip. Only Gabe was a little cranky this time around. Next time we'll plan ahead and go in the morning, when he's not so tired.

It's been nice to spend some quality time together as a family. I regret that the past few months have been so busy. Eric and I really missed each other with all of that schedule juggling.

It seems that in taking time to build our muscles at the gym, we've also been building our relationship, too. I never thought working out would mean working together. Or that sweating would bring us closer.
