A normal day in our life

I'm pretty sure no one follows this anymore since it's been like 9 months since I posted anything, but my "plan" is to update more often with just our normal everyday life and activities. Not because it's anything really exciting, but because I think it would be fun to remember down the road life's daily in and out happenings.

Today was an "off" day as I call it. I was very tired and fought a headache most of the day. Still, I got up and got the boys up and Soren off to school. He had late-start Monday which I love! I dropped him off and even though I really didn't want or feel like it, I headed straight to the gym where I ran for 40 minutes. I'm planning to run a 5k in the middle of November and so decided that I should probably start running to get myself in shape for it! Picked up Soren from school and then had a very normal afternoon here at home. Some cleaning, planned the week's menu, facebooked and emailed some, Meghan called and we talked for a long while, took a nap, a quick trip to the store for cilantro and then home to make dinner. I would say talking to Meghan and dinner were the high-lights. I made steak with home-made pineapple salsa for dinner. A big hit! After dinner we headed to Costco for some shopping and dessert. And, that's about all. Not very exciting... but a normal day in the Rowles' household.

Tomorrow the Lunde boys are coming over for the night. The Lundes are vacationing in Seattle and so I offered to watch the boys for them if they wanted an overnight to themselves. My boys are beside themselves with excitement over having their friends here. I'm kind of looking forward to it too... just the friend experience. Oh, how I miss the fellowship of friends that we had in Salem!! But, it's too late to go there tonight. If I start, I may never end.

That's about it. Off to do Bible Study and then sleep.
