Slowing Down

Hey Guys! So I know we're supposed to do two posts this module and I wasn't sure if commends counted, so hear I go...
I'm doing a lot better, but I'm still actually still super congested and feeling groggy and crummy in the mornings. I've heard at work that lots of people have been catching whatever it is and it's been causing us to be short staffed. I truly hope all of you miss it because it is awful. I mean seriously. I don't get sick and I don't call into work, but I was SICK.
School has started for me, but I've been fairly fortunate. I'm only in two classes which meet in person and then I'm in a 1 credit course which is online and runs through February. One of my in person classes is on Mondays and so far we had Columbus day off and then when I showed up yesterday the teacher never came... lol. So I haven't had much to do but a bit of reading and I don't have many assignments due this semester. I'm so happy to be able to focus more on work and my relationships. Also, work is settling down a bit and I'm getting more into the swing of things! :]
My meditation practices have been going well!
1. Limit TV/Computer time. Last night, instead of watching TV, Josh and I played a new card game, "Set", I ordered online recently. It was a lot of fun. We've been spending more time talking and, of course, doing homework in the evenings instead of watching TV or playing on our laptops, although Josh is a computer science major and programs for "fun" in his spare time, so I can't expect him to limit his computer time TOO much. lol.
2. Eat healthier/Be mindful when eating. So I've been trying to practice more portion control and refrain from multitasking while eating (although I have to admit I ate my dinner during a webcam lecture for my online class last night). We also just found out Josh's blood pressure is a little high, so we're going to start trying to cook more healthy meals and eat in more! I'm actually super excited about that because it's always difficult to get Josh onboard with eating more vegetables! I also think it will be a good bonding experience for us to cook together more often!
3. Be more intentional in relationship. So with my family and friends I've been trying to make a point of texting/calling more often even if I don't have time to hang out. Tomorrow is Josh's 22nd birthday and this weekend we're driving down to my dad's old house in Harrisonburg to go to our favorite restaurant and for some quality time away from electronics and the internet and whatnot. :] I'm also really excited because Josh and I have scheduled our first appointment for couples counseling and yesterday he told me he felt like he was falling in love with me all over again after 4 years. I know it sounds mushy and silly and he would kill me if he knew I told anyone (lol), but it made me so happy because I think that my practices in our relationship and for myself have really began to make a difference in our relationship.

Anyway, I'll stop rambling for now! I've really been enjoying reading you guys's posts and I hope David gets on here soon so we can see how he's doing too!
