Best Day Ever!!!

March 3rd-
So yesterday was a WONDERFUL day!!! It’s amazing how God continues to bless Phil and I. We totally don’t deserve any of it, which makes Him even more awesome : )
Among many things that happened, Phil (who is transferring to a new job within his current company in July) found out that he’s getting a $2000 raise on top of the raise he was already getting! With all of our student loans, that is going to be amazing!!!!! When he called to tell me the news, the first thing out of his mouth was “Why don’t you go buy yourself a gym membership today?”

Ahh… the struggle with the gym membership. I have been trying for weeks to figure out how I can swing it. As a recent college grad, newlywed, with $50,000 in student loans, it was hard to justify $20-$40 a month on a gym. I hate running outside, so I walk. I’ve done workout videos at home, but it’s just not the same. I loved the gym at The University of Tulsa where I graduated. I love the machines and the elliptical, and it’s not the same trying to get the effect from home.

When Phil said I could get one I literally cried on the phone! I was amazed at how he was so willing to give me just what I needed. Most importantly I realized I had his full support in my dream to be healthy. So I started the gym search and found Fit For Her on Peoria and 41st. I went and visited the week before and LOVED it!!! It is so clean, tons of machines, and an all women’s gym so you’re not creeped out by the stalker gym guys. Ahh!!!! Heaven!!!

So, I’m going today to get a three-month membership and get in shape!!! I’m Maid of Honor in two weddings in May, and I’m determined not to be the fat bridesmaid!!!!! Thank you God for providing the money for this, and thank you to my wonderful supportive husband. : )
