Its been a good week - I made it to the gym three times and I can stay on the elliptical machine for 20 minutes now, its amazing that I feel such a sense of accomplishment at something that used to be so simple for me! I went with Kate and the kids to Belmont Park in Mission Beach and watched Joel practice his body boarding in a wave pool.

I also got to have the Taintors over for dinner as they are on their way back to Washington after a vacation to their property in Mexico.  It has been decided that it is time for me to get a passport so I can visit them in Mexico, why do i foresee all kinds of adventures (read: trouble) for Lauren and I in Mexico?  The most beautiful part about meeting Mark and Renee is that I feel like they have been a part of my life for a very long time, even though in reality I only met them in 2007.  I went to WA with Lauren and I was fortunate to meet her parents and become a part of their family.  It doesn't seem strange to me that it was so easy to fit into her family, my friendship with Lauren has been easy from day 1, it makes sense to me that there was a space in Taintorville for me to fill.
