I just had a great living room workout. I decided that I am not yet at my goal shape. Nope. I thought I was finally content and all, but I have a few more bulges to erase. So back to the workouts it is. I really need to just let Matt get is gym memberships, but I hate putting 100$ into the gym every month. It'll happen. Matt would love that. Maybe for our anniversary we'll get gym memberships. We can afford it, I just would rather have pretty things. Selfish, I know. But if I worked out at the gym then I'd work harder and have better effects and feel better about myself and be healthier. Yeah, maybe we'll go do that over spring break. It's time.

Big news! Well, not really. But I sure am excited about it. I finally found a good house robe. My mom bought me a delicious bath robe for Christmas, but it's too heavy to wear around the house during normal hours of the day. I've been searching for a house robe for over a year. It's grey with pink lining around the edges and ruched pockets. It hits right above the knee and has a good. It's a super light cotton material and so so soft and comfy. A little self disclosure: I like to disclothe when I'm home. Any hour of the day you're liable to find me wandering the house with no pants and a camisole. I like being comfy. But when the neighbors come ringing our doorbell it causes some embarrassment, having to run into the other room to throw on some clothes and all. Now I always have my new robe at hand, just in case. I also found some adorable white spring sandals. They are flats with some slits in the sides and a peep hole for my toes. Dressy yet casual and so so comfortable. They were in the litle girls section. Funny, I always forget that those shoes fit me best and are cheaper. Double whammy! Whoop.

It is finally the weekend. I have a baby shower tomorrow morning to go to. Then Matthew wants to go to Roanoke, but I might convince him just go grocery shopping with me and going to see a movie. And then church on Sunday. I'm going back to redeemer pres. Sunday starts my favorite time of the year. Technically, autumn is my favorite time of year. And I have a renewed love for cliché Christmas time. But Easter, passion week, moving. Nothing else compares. The whole week. I try to focus on what Christ was doing, where he wa going, who he was seeing, what he was praying each day of passion week. One minute the people are praising him and giving up the shirts off their backs just so he doesn't have to ride over the dirty ground... A mere week later and they're crucifying him. Oh goodness, I'm nearly in tears now and it hasn't even officially begun! This is why it is my favorite time of year. Such a great sacrifice. Such incredible, deep love. Well, I'll leave the rest for this week. I have a tradition to post a highlight of each day of passion week and my personal reflections.

Goodness, I love Jesus. I truly do. I am so thankful for his love and forgiveness. My life isn't a secret, you all know I'm no angel girl. I was pretty akin to demon child actually. I hope I've started to grow out of that. Because I love my Jesus. It's as simple as that really.

It's going to be a great week. I'll have trials to face and I'm sure I'll learn more about patience through specific circumstances that I'll be facing in the next two weeks, but it will be a wonderful week. Because Christ came and died for me to live. So I will live in him.

Amen.
