I decided today is as good as any to update you on what is going on with us. We are all making new friends and having a good time. Branden and I have both been playing church basketball. It is actually a lot of fun and a good work out. The men play for a couple hours on Tuesday nights and their games are on Wednesdays. I play Thursdays and some Saturdays. It is a great reason to get out and get to know other people. I have made some fun new friends by playing basketball and am grateful for the chance to get out and work out.
Playing basketball has helped me see how truly out of shape I am. I decided to do something about it. Week one of working out and watching what I eat has done me some good. I have lost 2.7 lbs. in the last week and am very proud of that. I hope I can continue to lose weight. I know it'd help me immensely.
We both do have callings now. I am the Sunbeam teacher. I have 10 crazy kids in the class of which most are boys. It is entertaining and stressful, but I know it's good for me. Branden was just called as the Varsity Scout Leader. I think it's good for him because he is passionate about it. He loves to work with the young men. He is also good at motivating people, so I hope it works out well for him.
Other than that, not a lot going on at the home front. Braxten is learning a lot through school. We do struggle with homework, but we'll get there soon. He loves his new teacher and has a few friends that he talks about often. We are liking where we live. There are kids every where and if Brax isn't home, he's out playing with someone. He loves being social, I can't imagine him getting that from either Branden or myself. We are having fun spending time together and getting to know the amazing people here. I couldn't ask for more at this point in time.
