Yoga for the Moody

I have been wanting to tell about this great find for some time. A while back I wanted to buy a good yoga DVD. I was reluctant to buy one and get it home to discover I don't like it because it is too advanced for my beginners body, or that the instructor was too much of a yogi for me. I checked out this DVD Yoga for Your Moods at the library and I loved it! After one session I went online and bought it.
These are the reasons why I like it and recommend it to others:

The title: Yoga for Your Moods speaks to me. I like yoga and I'm moody. It's a perfect fit.

12 different workouts!
The way the DVD is set up lets you pick your level, beginner or advanced and then pick from 6 different workouts in each level. So, for the low price of $19.95 you get 12 different yoga workouts (I am sounding a bit like an infomercial)! ACT NOW WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!!! (more infomercial language).

Would you like waves or music with your workout? You can pick your audio set up and listen to classical music, guitar, no music, or my favorite waves as you sweat.

The instructor seems like a real person and not too yogi for me. It's a calm down-to-earth yoga DVD and I appreciate that.

You can check it out at the library, buy it, or barrow it from me. I give this yoga DVD 5 Upward Facing Dogs.

FHE

For Family Home Evening Stephen suggested we teach the 13 Articles of Faith to Mally. We decided to work on one a month. So far she is doing really well with learning #1. Hopefully in 10 months she will be ready to pronounce "paradisaical." Check her out:

Dancing with the Wards

I was FINALLY asked to prom!!! After whining and expressing how emotionally distraught I was for not being asked, my husband FINALLY asked me. I thought he did it in a clever way. He asked me through the computer (of course, he is a programmer after all). I received an email with a sound file attached. He recorded his voice and then altered it to disguise it. He asked me with a James Bond/Mission Impossible twist to it. I thought my computer would self destruct after listening.


I replied to him Napoleon Dynamite style by writing "Yes, I will go with you" in ketchup and mustard on his dinner plate. Also in Napoleon Dynamite style we had "dang quesadillas" for dinner.

I have been looking forward to prom for some time. Initially, our Ward's prom was going to be in February, just a week before my due date. I thought it would be funny to say that I went to prom pregnant. It's a good thing prom was postponed. I love to dance and my rockin' out may have put me into labor on the dance floor.

I got my dress, but because I just had a baby and I like eating sweets, I don't fit into my high school formals. Let's just say that my dress looks like I am old lady on a cruise ship. Oh well.

Unless You're Too Rich For It


All right all you "Jane Fonda's" out there, where were you on Wednesday? In case you are not aware, the R.S. has begun a new exercising group (thank you Amber G. for organizing it). And so far the "group" isn't much of a group (thank you Amber G. for coming). I hope EXPECT to see all you Bull River II "Sweatin' to the Oldies" sisters at the church EVERY Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning at 10 a.m. Get your "Buns of Steel" out of the house and to the church.

Fiji Time: No Hurry No Worry

With Aubri living with us and being able to watch our girls we thought it was the perfect time to sneak away for a couple's vacation to...
