Just Do It!

Considering I am home ALL THE TIME, I sure am bad at keeping up on blogging. Time has sure flown since we have been here in Mississippi, and it's hard to believe but it's only 18  days until Sam graduates and we make our way back home to Utah. YAY! We are so excited, but we have found some new I guess you could say entertainment..for Christmas we decided to get an X-box with money we got from family members..I am not a gamer at all, but I agreed to get the console for one purpose and one purpose only. Since our X-box came with a kinnect, we wanted a Nike video game. We have the nike fuel bands which have helped us become more active since we got them, but the video game helps you earn "fuel" on the fuel band and it also burns about 200 times each workout you do. The workouts are about 30 minutes. We have been doing this workout for about 2 1/2 weeks and it is intense.  Getting into a harder workout has been really hard for me..I realized almost instantly that I am very out of shape and that I wish I was a little more fit. Sam and I have each made goals that we would like to fulfill as far as our weight and fitness and we hope to do it by this summer. We both want to lose about 15lbs.(more or less) and I am fully confident that we can do it! We have also started stocking up on veggies and chicken, and tossing out the sugar and fat. It's been really hard, because as a woman, I need my chocolate! Sam is doing really well with the diet and the workout, and I continue to struggle..I just keep going and going..which is the best I can do. I really hope this workout and diet will work for us, and can't wait to see how it plays out. I think that during this whole thing I have been learning that not everything comes easy to us..we have to be willing to work and sacrifice for what we want. I know that we will feel better if we continue to do this, and that my confidence will also continue to get better and better. If anyone needs a good workout I highly recommend this one! We need to remember to Just Do It! :)

September thoughts...

Image
 As September 11th gets closer, I have been thinking about our trajectories in life. Many people who were in the towers that day or in any of the hijacked planes were in those places because of previous events and decisions that put them there in the first place. Are their people who should have been in those places and weren't because they made ever so slightly different decisions? Most likely.  This thinking may be a bit selfish on my part because it makes me think about my life now, and how no matter how indirectly, this one day when I was a mere 12 year old girl would impact the way I live my life.  If we flash back to September 11, 2001 young Sam Coffey was in his 9th grade year. Upon seeing news reports of the events of the day, this teen made the decision that he would join the military. While he grew up with grandpas and uncles in the military, nothing was so compelling as this day to sway him to his decision to join. If you would have spoken to Sam on this day, I am sure h

The truth about Anxiety

Image
I have been thinking about anxiety a lot lately, especially since I started following a page called "The Mighty". This page posts so many things about having anxiety and shares the truths that people do not understand about anxiety based on their followers experiences. It helps me a lot knowing that I am not the only one. I have often felt ashamed about my anxiety, and try to hide it from other people, even when it's threatening to crawl out and explode wherever I am....the thing is, I started to realize that when I read about anxiety, and it describes all of my crazy little quirks, I realize that no one would have written a book describing me, unless it was describing millions of others as well. As much as it is so great knowing that I am not alone in this awful struggle, it pains me to see others have the same struggles that I go through roughly everyday. I wish anxiety didn't exist, but it does, and somebody has to deal with it...this is my challenge, and I am real

And Just Like That, They Were Gone…..

On August 25, 2021 our lives changed forever. We got the long awaited call for two children who needed a place to stay. We picked up these two children from the Christmas Box House later that day, and met the two most afraid children we have ever met in our lives. I feel the need to express my feelings about the past 6 months as a way to heal as well as write to remember our experiences.  I can’t even begin to express my feelings on this topic. Our kiddos moved on to a wonderful adoptive home about a week ago, and I didn’t realize that I could feel so many different emotions all at the same time.  The children had been living with us for a few months when we got word that the goal for their case was adoption. As two people who were expecting to foster multiple children before actually adopting any children, we felt overwhelmed. We discussed this topic from October on, and went back and forth with our decision daily. Sam and I fell in love with these kiddos pretty quickly and realized t
