Happy Sunday!

It's been a great weekend in the Ostergren household!  The boys are downstairs watching tv, so I thought I would take a minute to blog!


Yesterday we got stuff done around the house- much needed!  We also made it to the Farmer's Market & picked up a few things, and then Pat made some delicious salsa & I made some kale chips & jalapeno poppers (I'll make a post about the poppers later with pic's & directions!)  Later in the day, we met up with the Johnson family for a little bowling!  I'm not a great bowler, but we had a good time with great company!  Pat & I grabbed some dinner, then came home & watched 'Machine Gun Preacher'.  It's a rough movie to watch, but very interesting...


Today I got up & got my workout in (more on that later!) and grabbed a few groceries at Walmart.  We didn't go to church b/c we have to pick up R at a time that is right in the middle of service...  so I cleaned up the kitchen while Pat picked up R, and we are heading to my parents house for our weekly Sunday lunch :-)  I love Sunday's!!


Pat was busy with the garden this morning- here are a few of his recent picks!






FAITH:
I finished up the YouVersion series that I was reading.  I highly recommend it- it definitely makes you take a step back & evaluate your life.  I'm not trying to figure out which devotional series to start- so if anyone has any that they recommend,  send me a meessage (trainingbyjen@hotmail.com)
Despite all of the craziness that has been occurring in our lives, I am so thankful for a loving God.  I know that He is looking out for us, and I am trying hard to keep my life in line with where I think He wants me to be!


FAMILY:
I am SO HAPPY that we have R for the day!  We haven't been able to spend much time with him lately, so we cherish these days!  He is in great spirits & is feeling great today :-)
We are heading out to my parents- I'm ready to enjoy some down time relaxing with the family (& maybe some time in the pool!)  Next month at this time, we will be oo-ing & aaa-ing over my nephew!  He will be here in a few short (okay, they seem long!) weeks!!!!  I can't wait :)
Finally, Elisabeth comes home on Thursday- I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!  


FITNESS:
Since I haven't been eating as clean as I need to be eating (pizza last week, bad Jen!) I upped my workouts this weekend.  Yesterday I did a HIIT routine that was killer along with some ab's.  Today I jogged 2 miles, and then came home & did some much-needed yoga!



I'm not that fast, but it felt good!  No knee pain or irritation, and I felt good the entire jog! :)


Sunday morning bliss (before the heat gets here!)  Running shoes & a yoga mat!


I hope that everyone is having a good weekend!  Enjoy your Sunday, and remember to be thankful for all that God has given you!  I know that it's easy to get caught up in worldly things, but He gives us what we need :-)  I'm thankful for a busier week coming up, new awesome clients, and I'm super thankful that E comes home on Thursday!!!!

Peace!
Jen
