Today my Gratia is for not being an old lady like I thought I was...

Last night was our first practice of the Co-Ed softball team Jake and I are playing on. I love, love, love playing softball and I haven't in um, well, 13 years or so. A long hiatus. Having babies and such got in the way of sports but now I or we are back in the game. We had so much fun last night and it was only the beginning. I was a bit worried that my time away from the diamond would be to big to overcome but the homer I ripped in the practice game helped boost my energy. Can't wait for the first game next week.

Today my Gratia is for the wrenches life throws me...

I guess it is good to have some hiccups in life once in awhile. I imagine that if everything were always easy going then things would become quite boring. How can we know the good when the bad never happens. I am trying to stay on the brighter side of things.

My Gratia today is for working out and realizing I am really out of shape...  

Jake and I are going backpacking in the Tetons with some dear friends of ours. The big trip is in July so I am in the need to get in shape now. I realized today that I have a long way to go. The quick hike I did this morning kicked my butt. Now I know that I have to get serious.

My Gratia today is for spending time with some pretty cool mothers... 

For Mother's day we went to my husband's parents farm for the weekend. I must admit I wasn't sure if it sounded to appealing to leave our packing needs, our new chicks and all that we need to get done for the move to spend time with lots and lots of family and kids. I was wrong in my assumptions and we had a wonderful time and the kids weren't so bad after all.
