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 ...

Happy Saturday!!! Can you believe we are at the end of May already!? This year is flying by!! We are going to blink and it's going to be 2027!!

We started May by kicking off the Beast Mode Challenge, here we are 30 days later. Let's do some reflection before we set some June goals. Before you talk about any setbacks or places you got stuck (we'll do that tomorrow), today let's focus on what went Well this month!!

What was the best thing that happened in May? Any wins to celebrate or any improvements you had this month?

Happy Saturday. I'm still sick but with new cough meds I slept a little bit more between coughing.
Yesterday I made Laura's Tuna salad (if she liked fish) because I was out of canned chicken. It works in a pinch. I had that for lunch and two Culvers burger patties for supper. Lots of water and LMNT through the day.
Another rainy day, so will be easy to rest and keep recovering.
I am asking for continued prayers for my plugged ears. If I could hear better I don't think I would feel so bad.
Thanks. Enjoy your Saturday!
