Mid-January

Mid January, here it is.  The girls went back to school last week and I think I had the hardest time adjusting back into the swing of things.  I am just not an early riser.  So, now going back to having to wake up an hour earlier is not fun for me.

Both girls love school, so they were excited to go back.  We had a parent/teacher conference with Courtney's teacher the Friday before school started back.  As usual, everything is good!  She doesn't misbehave at school which just bewilders everyone.  She is excelling at everything that is put in front of her, and she is over all doing exceptionally well.

I have been better about getting back into the gym.  You know it's bad when you walk into the childcare to drop your 3 year old off and the workers say "Oh, HI!  We haven't seen you in a while!"  I wanted to reply "yeah yeah, I was at home eating Christmas cookies...."  But I didn't...

My heart is still heavy for my friend.  She is still in such a state of grieving.  It is heart wrenching.

I have said it before and I will say it again now.  December was a hard month.  I have never prayed so much for Heaven and Hell to be real and "easy to get into" in one month, over two different incidents. 

Well, not much else is new, so I will leave you with Dave's obituary. 



David Paul Aldridge, of Colorado Springs, Colo., died unexpectedly on December 21, 2012 while he was running - one of his favorite things to do. Survivors include his wife, Holly Sue Bonnell Aldridge; son Spencer Wayne (6); daughters Leah Story Kate (4) and Maci Meeraf (3); parents Paul and Janet Aldridge; sisters Laura (Mike) Haynes and Linda (James) Watkins; parents-in-law Wayne and Judy Bonnell; sister-in-law Mindy(Taylor) Gordy; nieces Mary and Jennifer Haynes, Resha and Rachel Watkins; Olivia and Claire Gordy; nephew, Jacob Haynes. Dave was born April 22, 1973, in Prescott, Ariz. He graduated from Pagosa Springs High School in 1991 and Oklahoma Baptist University in 1995. Dave was the manager of Physical Therapy Rehabilitation at Memorial Hospital, Colorado Springs. But he was more proud of the titles "husband" and "daddy." His passions were his family, his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and the great outdoors of Colorado. He loved climbing, skiing, camping, and fishing, and had summited all 54 of Colorado's "14ers," peaks reaching 14,000 feet and above. He was a member of First Presbyterian Church and the Headwaters class. Dave was known for his servant's heart: he was always doing for others' family, friends, clients and even strangers benefited from his desire to support and encourage. His friends and family are committed to making sure his young children grow up knowing how special their dad was, and how he had hope in Christ as he dreamed and prayed for them. There will be a visitation on Friday, December 28, 2012 from 5pm-8pm at Cappadona's Funeral Home on 1020 East Fillmore Street,Colorado Springs. A memorial service celebrating his life will be on Saturday, December 29, 2012, at 2 pm, First Presbyterian Church, 219 E. Bijou St., Colorado Springs. An account for the family has been established at the Bank at Broadmoor. Donations in lieu of flowers may be sent to the "The Dave Aldridge Memorial Fund, Holly S. Aldridge" c/o The Bank at Broadmoor 155 Lake Avenue Colorado Springs, CO 80906.

One more thing Let me add, is that any time some people start mastering this topic and are also not seeing any improvements, they start to quit. And this is not how it must be. Even if you're not getting great results at first, keep it up during few months till you locate good authority sites like this where you would be able to get enough points that could hadly be identified even in the most expensive electronic books.
