Yesterday we surprised the kids and brought home a puppy!! They have been begging for one for years and we felt like the time was right to bring one home.

Meet Angus 🐕 He's a Golden Retriever/King Charles Cavalier Spaniel mix. He's 11 weeks old and currently weighs about 8 pounds, he should be around 35 pounds fully grown. I know it will be an adjustment for a while as he gets potty trained etc but we are so excited. 😂 Wish us luck! 🤪

Cheese is good! I ate a block of chipotle oven baked cheese with lunch yesterday and it was divine. I love it, but know that it halts any progress I'm making, and will even trigger eating in excess to where I'll gain weight. It's sad but I have accepted it. If I eat it in small quantities with a meal, it's ok, but I really have to work to keep it in check.

What's your favorite cheese? How do you incorporate it? Do you see negative results when eating it?

Happy Sunday! Sharing a video today from our week, one of the highlights. This was Wednesday evening church, normally they have a more casual prayer meeting where someone plays the guitar, but they were doing some construction in the fellowship hall so they had their prayer meeting in the sanctuary. No one was there to play the piano so my my Grandma did it, she's been playing the piano in church for probably 80 years.

For context, she's 88, she had a really bad fall 5 years ago now and hit her head and ended up with a lot setbacks, similar to having a stroke. She has a lot of dementia like symptoms also (I am sure related to her Type 2 diabetes), she really can't read music anymore, and she has trouble seeing well, and she needs to wear hearing aids to hear but hates wearing them, so on this night she didn't want to wear them. My 93 (almost 94) year old grandpa takes care of both of them on their farm. Anyway, on this night she sat down on the piano and led worship as people called ...

Day 3 clean- I traveled home today and drank a protein drink in the car and then had burger patties when I got home.
Super stressful situation happened. My car locked my key fob in the car at the gas station (about an hour and a half away from home) with my 2 dogs and phone. Usually when the key is in there, it won’t lock, but for some reason it did. To make a long story short I used the gas station phone to call my car dealer who suggested I call OnStar. I didn’t know my husband‘s work phone by memory either. I was able to connect with OnStar, which I don’t even have an account with, but my car was in their system. I think because my dogs were locked in the car they saw that as an emergency and ended up unlocking it. That was so cool how they could do that!!! I now have a free trial to see if I want it to keep it. 😁

I was at a gas station full of junk food, but I didn’t even go there in the midst of this mess. Yay me!!

Summer school starts tomorrow.
Good night!
