I'm really disappointed because I was really hoping to go walking and end the year strong. Unfortunately, it's pouring down rain and it's only 40°F. It's a bit too cold to walk in this much rain. On the positive side, I've already far exceeded my goal of 200,000 steps for the month and that's ultimately where I need to be. I'm disappointed but I'm moving forward because there's nothing I can do about it. Rather than let it ruin my day, I'm going to let things happen as they will and not let it get me down. I've made serious progress this year and one day won't make a difference. ☺

We're doing something a little different today. We're having a guys day out today. The boys and I have guys nights on occasion but this is a bit different. Rather than simply being myself and the boys, it will be my Dad, brother and nephew as well. Were going to see Aquaman and grab some lunch together. I'm super excited.. ☺

Any minute now, a delivery truck will be dropping off our brand spank'n new gas range. My parents decided to surprise us for Christmas with a new range. We were originally going to convert from gas to electric but our panel would need upgraded to the tune of about $2,000 and that's simply not worth it. We actually prefer gas but our old gas range made everything sticky. Although truthfully, everyone says there must have been something wrong with our gas range because that's never happened to them. Anyway, I pulled the old one out a couple days ago and made room for the new one. We're so grateful for this. It's been way too long since we've had a fully working stove. We've found ways to work around it…
