2 months later...

Sometimes I read the blogs of my super creative friends and I feel a bit guilty I am not putting in more effort...but every 2 months may have to do until Annie is over...
In the past 2 months:
1) I have had to STOP P90X which TOTALLY bummed me out. I was loving it until I locked up my SI joint in my lower back and couldn't move. It has been 2 months of Chiropractor appts but I am doing SO much better now. My upper back still gets out of alignment but lower back is doing MUCH better. So much so that Kris and I joined the gym. I was hesitant because my knees have been bad for so long, but the other night I rode 5 miles on the recumbent bike and did 2 miles on the treadmill. I am building cardio endurance and am slowly adding weights back in.
2) Kris, Caitlyn and I are in Annie and we open the first weekend in May. I am 98% memorized which is SO nice right now. Caitlyn is totally memorized and has all her stuff down really well. Kris is almost memorized and has considerable more lines than all of us. He is a great Daddy Warbucks and has now shaved his head all the way down. (not that it was a far stretch to go totally bald) I am really liking his shaved head!! :D
3) Nick is down to the last 6 weeks of Senior year. He had a 4.0 for 3rd term which is fantastic!! He has senioritis big time. Today they had Senior Breakfast. They had french toast, sausage, eggs, bacon etc. They did a raffle and dancing...Nick...sat by himself, which is was perfectly ok with.
I can't believe we will have 2 graduated children.
4) Nate just finished up his seasonal job. He was the top chat agent for the whole time he was employed. Which is super fantastic!! I am hoping he will be able to find another job but he has been invited back for their other support center for next tax season. His letter of recommendation is really wonderful!
We are super proud of all our kids and all their accomplishments.
I am still YW Pres...love it!! And Kris is still High Priest Group second counselor (counselor, assistant?? Not sure what it is)
And the blessed doggies...still doing good!

As for the workout...does your gym have a pool? I have a bad knee AND a bad foot and have been doing water aerobics for over a year and I LOVE it...much more of a workout than most people think (you can burn 800+ calories in a 1 hour workout) and it's so good on the joints. Going to start some lap swimming in the next week or two just for an extra kick.

Glad to see you back! Even if only for a moment. I'm amazed you found time to blog at all with all that going on! Lots of good things happening in the Polson fam! So I know what part you and Kris play in Annie, what part does Caitlyn play?

@Wendy, our gym does not have a pool. The gym with the pool is double the price we are paying per month, but I am up to 5 miles on the recumbant bike and it feels good.
@Brittany, Caitlyn is the soloist "Sophie" in the Hooverville scene where Annie runs away too and then she is one of the Boylan Sisters in the radio show (Smile) :D
