Good News All Around

This week has been so great because we found out that Chad got a new job! He will be store manager for a kids science toy store in our area which is exactly what he's been looking for. He'll be in charge of 5 employees and will be able to do whatever he thinks is best to run the store. We are so thankful for this new opportunity for him.
And in BLT news, I was able to run yesterday! It's been about 7 weeks since I broke my toe and it's finally ok with getting back into exercising. It felt great to be able to do that. Yay for healed toes!

This Little Piggy...

... went to the gym! This was the first time since I broke my little toe so this was a big milestone! Today was the first day I was able to go to work wearing something other than a flip flop and that felt great too. It's almost exactly six weeks since I broke it which is longer than I expected it to take. But I'm thankful that it has healed straight and for some reason it's skinnier than the other toes.

I tried to put on a shoe today...

So I thought that I would try to wear a shoe for the first time since breaking my toe 5 weeks ago. I have been wearing flip flops or no shoes ever since then. And I thought that today was the day for a real shoe but I was wrong. I guess I will try again next week. :-) It took three different pairs of socks to find one that felt ok, but when I put on the shoe and walked, my toe loudly protested.
In other "news" I am so excited because we are going to a Casting Crowns concert this weekend. It's for their new album "The Altar and the Door" which is an awesome album. Chad and I are going with Eric and his son Isaiah which will be really fun. yay!

Crazy Rain storm and BLT update

So after a million days of no rain in Southern California, we got a huge storm with thunder and lightning and even a tornado warning. yikes! It was a nice change of pace and Chad and I enjoyed hanging out at home and relaxing. And playing Roller Coaster Tycoon 3. :-)
As for my BLT (broken little toe for those of you who aren't familiar with the term) it's doing better. It's not black anymore and I can bend it, but it still hurts to walk normally and every now and then it gets angry and shoots pain up my leg. I am thankful that it is doing a lot better. It's amazing how much a broken toe can affect things.
I just started back to work this week after our hiatus for a few weeks. It was hard to get up in the morning after sleeping in that entire time. But work is good and I enjoy it which is a blessing.
That's all from here for today. Tomorow is church and errands and probably more Roller Coaster Tycoon 3. ;-)
