Let C watch begin!

So this has been an exciting week. First, I grew up playing soccer so I am absolutely loving watching the US women's national team rock it at the World Cup! But the excitement gets me too excited to get back into my "glory days" shape even though I am far from it. So Tuesday after watching the awesome semifinals game I was pretty pumped to work out but we didn't feel like going to the gym. When that's the case we just workout at home, husband lifts weights and I play "Just Dance". Random, I know, but it is such a workout and so much fun. Well husband was done with his workout and checking on how I was doing when I went took a wrong step and "POP" is all we heard and down I went. So an ER trip and 2 hours later I have a lovely boot.

As you can see it is my right foot which means I cannot drive and I will be wearing this for at least 2 weeks. Good thing I have an awesome husband he painted my toes and drives me to work (good thing I work weekdays and he works weekends, who thought I would ever been happy about that)

Speaking of his work, he started C watch this weekend... Of course the lovely holiday weekend. First night out of course he arrested a DUI. Tonight they are betting on at least 2. Can't wait to hear the stories when he gets off. Crazy to think there are that many idiots on the road. Makes me happy that I can't drive right now I guess. But not. Having my husband next to me when I go to sleep is awhile new issue. Last year he did like 2 shifts on graves and I use to watch tv to fall asleep but I had been having sleep issues so we prayed on it and stopped that about 6 months ago now. So last night I woke up to every little sound possible. Luckily the husband was home at early enough to sleep a little more comfortably with him next to me for about 3 hours.

But here I am on this great holiday where everyone is outside, BBQing with friends and family... I'm inside watching netflix because I can't drive to those places. Yes my parents offered to pick me up to celebrate with them but, honestly, I am really surprised no one else did. I did have one friend offer to come spend time with me this week which is amazing because again no one else has. I thought people knew me. I am not great at just sitting around doing nothing. Don't get me wrong, today I didn't have to get dress, do my hair or my makeup and it was kind of awesome! But I'm always busy, always moving... Have a fitbit to make sure I get moving more. I did have one friend ask me to go dancing, does that count? Lol anyway, hopefully when we have kids we will bond with other families. This age kind of sucks because everyone is in such different places in life. 

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. (2 Timothy 1:7 NIV)

This was my verse of the day today and I think it fits quite well. God doesn't want us to be scared or timid or even frustrated. God gives us our strength, our power to get through all we are going through. He gives us love, even when we feel like no one else is there. So even through I sit here, inside on the 4th of July, ankle in a boot and netflix on the tv... I know this too shall pass, my ankle will heal, c watch will be over, friends will come (and go) but it's nothing to stress over or worry about. It's just a part of our story.
