Day to Day

Well, I have not given a day-to-day update on our blog recently so I figured now would be as good of time as any. School is going well but I am counting down the days until May 26th when we are out for summer! Nick is enjoying the challenge of his job and it is keeping him busy. He had to go to Atlanta for a financial advisor conference for a couple of days so I am trying to hold down the fort.
We joined the YMCA and Weight Watchers so you might not recognize us after our "health kick." Nick works out with his friend Matt every Mon., Wed., and Friday at 6:00 am. They have not missed a day in over two months which really impresses me. I go with Nan a couple of afternoons a week to aerobics. I will have to say that this is my first time to consistently work out in my whole life. It is actually somewhat enjoyable.
Nick's church softball season has started back up again so that is fun to go watch when the games start after my Biblestudy. Nick got his first battle scar of the season last week when he slid into base.
We are still going to small group on Sunday nights and are almost the only ones that have not had a baby in the past 6 months. Something must be in the water because everyone is having babies. Nick has gotten braver and braver each week and now enjoys holding and playing with all the infants. He used to get scared that he would break them but know he looks like a natural!
The last thing that I am going to bore you with is that I planted tons of spring flowers in our window boxes and planters. We bought a weed eater and Nick has started had to mow the grass (or maybe I should say weeds in our yard) almost everyweek. I love owning a home in the spring!
Well, I am off to bed...

CJ; I am so proud I could pop for both of you! Life is good and I'm thoroughly impressed on how well things are going for you both! We can't wait until our next visit to see all the "spring" additions to your home! We would love to come see Nick play ball if we could somehow get a schedule or phone call??? He loves sliding into the bases and I'm sure it was a sight to behold?? Well, enjoyed catching up and seeing the updated pictures...Love you both; mom & dad B

Christina! I just found your blog! I so enjoyed you at the women's conference forever ago, and am glad that I now found your blog! It's nice to have some other Branen's (or Brannen, however, you prefer) in my blogging circle!
