Josh and Becca Thrap and Family

‚ So, today I have a doctors appointment. I get to go in and admit to my doctor (who only three weeks ago “prescribed” that I need to walk OUTSIDE for at least 20 minutes every day) that in the last 21 days I have walked maybe 7 times. I have taken my vitamins daily since then, so that is a start, but I am just still having trouble getting motivated. And while I am talking about my personal failures, I must add this because honestly, I feel worse about this: Yesterday was my brother-in-law’s birthday (and while I never call my in-laws personally to congratulate them–don’t ask me why?! I always call Josh to make sure that he remembered to call them.) and Josh was traveling for work and every time we tried to talk on the phone we got disconnected and by the time he got home I was zoned in front of Top Chef on Bravo and basically ready for bed AND I DID NOT EVER REMIND HIM, and apparently he did not make the call. So, I feel awful because I am the one with the memory for those kinds of things and messing up something like that really makes me feel like I am losing it! So, even though I’ve known in the back of my head that we will be seeing Josh’s brother this weekend and we can congratulate him then and give him a present (which, now that it is in my blog we MUST remember to do! lol) it is no excuse for not calling on the actual day. I am sorry. Please forgive us. We were thinking of you and hope that you truly had an awesome day. HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVEN!!!!!! (Apparently this is the only picture I have of Steven on our computer!) (With that said, I refer to the feelings of my earlier post about time going so quickly, when Josh and I were dating and I first met Steven he was a very cute tiny little 8 year old–that’s only one year older than Jacob is now!!! ‚ Wow.) And now I feel like I have to go squeeze my kids and make sure they know I love them even though I am personally a mess sometimes. They will be grown and gone before I know it!
