Easter!

Hey all,
I'm sure everyone knows this weekend was Easter weekend. Well, I did something I've never done before, and hopefully will never do again. I forgot. Until yesterday, thankfully though I had insisted that Husband and I go visit his folks today. And we did, it was great. The 5 of us visited with his parents and lil bro for several hours. They played wii games (I am too sore to really move much, my new exercise game did me in), got KFC, and watched Avatar the new movie. It was great. All of us together, just like the six months we lived with husband's parents...only better because at the end of the night we still have our own little home to go to. I'm sure everyone agrees that too many married couples sharing a household is not good in our society. In all it was kind of like going home, like a home away from home really. Part of me will always be back in Canada, in Stirling with my parents and sister's and brother. The open space, and the house I grew up in.

Anyway, at one point Husband (if you wonder why I call him that, it's because he isn't in on this...so it's best to let him be anonymous to anyone that might see it and not know us. And those that do, well, they know this wouldn't be his thing anyway) was messing with his lil brother, chasing him around the yard. Then he tells me that it helped get rid of some of the stiffness he has from our new exercise game. So I thought it might be a good idea for me to do some walking around too. Good news, I'm no worse for wear. But I don't feel much better either.
However, while we were out there my Mom did call, and that was the highlight of my weekend. I know I'll never miss my family any less, and I'll probably never really get used to it either. So it was really awesome to get to talk to all of them on the phone. I was maybe most excited about talking to my brother, he's the one I get to talk to the least. According to him (in his teasing) he can no longer call me "cracker", no he has to call me "hillbilly"...he's always good for a laugh!

In all it's been a great weekend, started out kinda rough, but things are looking up!

P.S. At this weekend's official weigh-in I lost 1 pound this week- total of 5, 63 to go!
