Scuba

I was hoping Justin might blog about this and who knows - maybe he will sometime. He has started taking Scuba Diving lessons towards a certification. If I have it right he does 3 written tests, 3 pool times and 2 open water dives to get it. Right now he has done 2 of the tests, one pool and one open water dive. This is something that has been on his "no opportunity wasted" / "things to do before I die" list. He's pretty excited to be going for it.

He did his open water dive last sunday up by Rowan's Ravine and apparently the water was really dirty and murky so he couldn't see much but it'll be worth it when he goes to Mexico or somewhere and dives in the beautiful ocean water.

I, on the other hand, have no desire to do that. I'm too claustrophobic and I hate the feeling of living things swimming against my legs and stuff. Not a real nature girl I guess. I do recognize that I'll really be missing out on a beautiful experience and in seeing more of God's beautiful handi work. Isn't it something that even areas that people seldom see are just alive with life?

I think he is going to do another test and pool time on friday. Then another open water dive and he'll have his first scuba diving certification. Pretty cool.

That's pretty cool. I thought about getting certified too, before Mexico. Do we know when we're going yet?!!

They are here. They are really really here!!!

It was a cool day. Almost too cold. The kind of cold that makes you rethink your very existence.... Boy. I am waaaay to tired for that. So I will give you the un-dramatic version. So, we are getting bombarded with requests for an update and pictures. So I will oblige and provide you with all the gory details. Actually, there are no gory details. In what can only be described as an amazing answer to many prayers, the new Mooney babies were brought into this world with no problems what so ever. We entered the hospital at 10:00 in the morning and were taken to the surgery room around 12:00 noon. At exactly 12:38, the first baby, Dylan Michael was born weighing in at 6 pounds even. Then, also at 12:38, Evan Timothy also charged into the world weighing in at 5.2 pounds. Then, at 12:39 Liam David was born weighing 4.8 pounds. For those of you good at math, that is a whopping 16 pounds worth of babies. 16 POUNDS!!! And even though them just being born at 36 weeks and 5 days isn...

Did you know?

So, did you know that exercising regularly can help you have more energy!? Okay, so did I. And did you know that eating healthily also helps with that? As does going to bed at a decent time at night? I guess we all know that but I haven't been good at acting like I know that. I was getting frustrated. I was just so tired in the evenings. I wasn't having the kind of quality time with my kids or my husband that I wanted. I didn't feel like going out with friends in the evening. I was okay during the day but that's not when I am with my people, for the most part anyway. Sometimes, I would fall asleep on the couch before my kids bedtime!! If I wasn't asleep, I was lethargic and unmotivated. Just not the me that I wanted to be. It doesn't sound like much, but I just couldn't stand wanting to be intentional but not having the energy to do the things that mattered to me. And my kids are 9,9,9 and 11. That's old enough that I can't use the...

Am I really having triplets?

What does a person blog about the day before they have triplets? I mean - there are a million things going through my head but I can hardly sort them out, let alone write them down. It's all just very amazing, surreal, scary, exhilarating and on and on and on. I think there is just too much so I'll just ask that you pray for all of us and we'll try to post news as soon as we can. I likely won't be at the computer til the end of the week (if ever again :) ) but Justin will check it and try to update everyone.
