i'm really loving having this gym so close to our house. it literally takes three minutes to drive over there, and i've been almost every day since it opened. finn still enjoys hanging out at the kids club, and i love getting an hour to myself. my mom has been coming with me quite a bit, so we can chat while we do the treadmill, and then when she leaves, i pop in my earbuds and rock out to some music. i love starting my day this way and i've been feeling really good. gavin and i went to a yoga class last night after we ate dinner, and it was TOUGH! i was sweating like a pig by the end, but i felt like i got an awesome workout. i think we'll do that every week now on wednesdays, and i want to try out the pilates class next tuesday. i'm really making the gym a part of my routine, and i'm feeling good. i've barely even been weighing myself since we got back - i know i'm working out and being healthy, so the number on the scale isn't really important.
mom, finn and i went to see maleficent yesterday at the nice theater. it was a lot of fun - it's so great having my mom close now, so we can do stuff like that. my parents live maybe 5 minutes away, almost as close as the gym, so it's so convenient. i think we're going to do something fun today after the gym, too. yesterday was my dad's birthday, so tomorrow we're going to make a cake for him during the day, then we're going out to a nice dinner in the evening. the mulligans are coming by in the morning tomorrow to pick finn up and take him to their house for a sleepover, so it's a win for everyone. gavin's parents are a bit further way, about an hour, but it's so nice because they love taking finn for overnight visits and me and gavin get to spend time just the two of us, or hang out with my parents and do more adult things that finn wouldn't so much enjoy.
life is good right now. me and mom are going to plan a trip to virginia in the next month or two to visit jaime - finn has been begging me to see his cousin stephen, so i told him i'd figure it out and we'd take a visit when we could! it's not easy, per se, but a flight to virginia is small potatoes now that we've flown all the way across the atlantic ocean twice, and finn is usually so good on planes i don't even stress about it anymore. and then my dad might have a high school reunion coming up in NH next year, so we're thinking of planning a vacation up there again to coincide with it. we've had so much fun the last two times we went, i'm totally open to going again!
things are good. i hope they stay this way for a long time.
