I also went on a Cruise the fall of 2017. I love the water. We were blessed to have a mini suit. Lawrence asked if I wanted to share it with him. Of course I did. It went from Vancouver BC Canada to Long Beach, CA. The food, entertainment and people were fabulous. I loved every minute of it. </div>

Braving the cold weather, I made it down to the Meridian Idaho Winter Wonderland Lights Parade. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The parade and where the tree lighting is held on Idaho and Main in Meridian. There were a lot of people there watching The Grinch animated cartoon on the side of a building. There was also a stage for the local TV Station on the right with lighted trees. They served free hot coco to keep everyone warm. </div>

Meridian still has a small town feel and has many great activities for families. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were all bundled up to keep us warm because it was a crisp cold night to watch the parade.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided I would walk the path instead of trying to stay warm in a chair - it was a great idea!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Tonight was the 2nd time attending Winter Warriors. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Earlier today there were snow flurries in the valley and more snow predicted. Lucky for me, it stopped snowing without any accumulation on the ground. The walking path was clear.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I saw the snow, I was wondering if I really wanted to do this and be outdoors in the snow, sleet or rain. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, that is why I signed up for the Winter Warrior program, to encourage me to go out and move during the dark winter months.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because I ran with my walking group on the hike this past Saturday, I was encouraged to do walking / running intervals.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did 4 minutes of walking and 1 minute of running intervals. I did it!! Woo Hoo!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I dressed really warm ... too warm. In fact, all my clothing and hair were soaking wet from the sweat. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next time I won't wear as many warm clothing. I guess it will be trial and error until I know what works for me to stay warm but not too hot. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every time I go I meet new people. This is a very fun lively group! It's been a great journey as I get fit and the weight off. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On my quest to stay active during Thanksgiving, I had planned on doing some walking and hiking. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanksgiving day I went on a good hour walk in the late afternoon to burn off the calories from Thanksgiving dinner. 9134 steps</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Friday I took down all the Thanksgiving decorations and put up all the Christmas decoration. It kept me active all day long and I ended up with 9283K steps. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanksgiving day I received a message from Kathy asking if I'd like to get together Saturday morning to do a trail called the Rabbit Run. Located at Eagle State Park 11800 N Horseshoe Bend Rd Eagle, ID 83714</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is our messages to each other via facebook:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sondra: A run? Ummm. I don't run.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kathy: Barb is going so it is probably a walk. Rabbit Run is the name of the trail.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kathy: Really I think we are planning on walking it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kathy: We plan on walking Rabbit run trail and the junk yard trail the two together equal 5 miles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sondra: Yes, I think I'd like to join in, so plan on me being there. If by chance I can't I'll send you a text.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kathy: great</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kathy was able to round up a few extra people to join in. I absolutely love meeting all these new people and being active. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

I was sweating and had to take off my jacket - that is how nice of a November day it was. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The trail wasn't too steep, but it did go up hill. It is good for me to have an incline, but I do lose my breath quite easily going up hill. Great conditioning on my quest to get fit. </div>

I have to say that Nancy is a machine. She is a fast runner and had to keep waiting for us. She is also 72 years old!! WOW! I want to be running and looking so young when I am 72. I'm so impressed and motivated just by meeting her. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I love going on these walks!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love that I was able to run today!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love meeting all these new people every time I join in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a great group to associate with. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is also very motivating to live an active lifestyle. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am also very thankful that Brady was able to be here and go with me!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my customers just moved into a smaller house. She asked me if I wanted any of the furniture she couldn't use. I said I'd love to have a few items. She gave everything she didn't want for FREE!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, I am so blessed. There were quite a few items I couldn't take because I don't have the space for it and I don't believe in paying for storage. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the items I am now the proud owner of!!! Yippee!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the extra storage that helped make the room look cleaner and more organized. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I signed up. I need motivation for the upcoming months.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tuesday the weather was cold and dark at 6 pm. What was I getting myself into?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We met at Fleet Feet and Brandon the owner gave us some instructions. Then we headed to Kleiner Park for the walk/run. I left with the ladies I hiked to Table Rock with and quickly understood that they were gong to be running. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again, I thought "What have I gotten myself into?" I am not a runner and was assured that there would be walkers there too. While I was warming up with the runners, a group of people asked if I was Sondra and a walker. YES!!! Kathy sent them to find me so I could walk with them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was very dark and scary. I was so thankful to be walking with a group of people. I couldn't do the walk in the dark by myself. Way too scary. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had flashlights, but I quickly knew that if I was going to do this I needed to get some reflective gear. I ordered some and it's on it's way. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a great time meeting new people, Jessica, Nick and Jay. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I am signed up for "Meet Me Monday's" for a 7am walk at the mall and Winter Warriors at 6pm on Wednesdays outside. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am excited and determined to stay active and motivated during the cold dark winter months.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel very determined not to sit on the sidelines to make my community better. I am going to be one of the driving forces in spreading love, kindness and support to make my community and world a better place. It takes action and I'm stepping up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tuesday night I grabbed my umbrella and braved the rain to attend a "Thin Blue Line Candlelight Vigil". "Let Your Light Shine" for our Brothers & Sisters in Blue as we come together in unity to show support, encouragement, care, and offer prayers to all our law enforcement families. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to walk instead of drive over to the vigil even though it was raining (I love walking in the rain). I wanted to show my support for our Boise Police and law enforcement nationwide. </div>

Our officers to go out every single day, every single call, to unknown areas, never knowing what they are going to face. I know that the Boise Idaho Police are some of the finest officers nationwide. It's reassuring to know they are good men and not corrupt like we see in other parts of this country.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Last Friday, two Boise Police Officers were shot and wounded in an attempt to apprehend an armed suspect in a Boise neighborhood. The two officers, along with a Boise Police K9 who was also shot, were immediately rushed to hospitals. The shooting suspect was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced deceased.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Police had been searching for Romero since Tuesday, after Meridian police said they believed he shot a man and woman around 10:45 p.m. that evening in the 300 block of East Gruber Avenue.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The two victims, who are both 29, were known to Romero. The woman was shot once in the chest and remains in a local hospital in fair condition.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Police received a citizen tip at 12:45 p.m. saying a person believed to be Romero was spotted in a car that had been reported carjacked. A second report came in minutes later.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Officers searched for the vehicle in the neighborhood north of Orchard Street and Overland Road. They were aided by bystanders who pointed them in the right direction, the department said.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Officers later found the suspect walking down the street. He took off running through the neighborhood. Officers secured the area of Irving Street near Roosevelt and Wilson, and the Special Operations Unit came to search the area.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Shots rang out after police encountered the suspect, who had been hiding. Neighbors reported hearing at least 10 shots.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
The Thin Blue Line Candlelight Vigil was organized to give the community a tangible way to show their support and love for three Boise police officers who were injured in a shootout on Friday while searching for a wanted suspect. Those officers are Cpl. Chris Davis, Cpl. Kevin Holtry, and police K-9 Jardo.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;">The event was put on in part by a group of women whose husbands and sons serve in local law enforcement. During the vigil, they had the public write get-well-soon cards for the injured officers, took donations, and had the public a sign banner that will hang in Corporal Holtry's hospital room. For many of the women, they know there is a chance their loved ones may not come home from work one day.</span></div>

It was not just the public that came out to show their support during the candlelight vigil; Peace officers from agencies all over the Treasure Valley came to show their support.</div>

While on my hike to Table Rock on Saturday, Kathy motivated me to join with her on a walk at the Boise Towne Square Mall at 7:00 am Monday Morning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On Monday's I don't work because holidays usually occur on Monday's and it's nice to have a day I can move customers around or schedule special cleans if needed. I have a Trucking Company I clean every Monday night - which leaves Monday mornings open for an early morning walk. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's nice having my schedule clear to join Meet me Monday free walking group / movement. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The mission of "Meet Me Monday" is to ... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
GET OUT for the health of our mind, body and spirit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
GET OUT to spend time with family and friends</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
GET OUT to support our community</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Incentives for participation and raffle prizes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Discounts at local business. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is also a "Meet Me Monday" in downtown Boise</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5:15 pm - sign-in at Bandanna Running and Walking (5th and Main). Announcements and Prize drawings at 6:45 pm.</div>

I met Kathy at 7:00 am. I admit it was hard to pull myself out of bed on a day I could sleep in - but I need to do these things to move my body. It's nice that the traffic isn't too bad that early in the morning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also with winter coming up, I need extra motivation to keep moving.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are a lot of senior citizens walking the mall in the mornings. I loved seeing friends walking together and enjoying the quiet mall to start the day. None of the businesses are open and there isn't any temptation to spend money - huge plus to walk early in the morning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really enjoyed the walk. It goes by fast when you have someone to walk and talk with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At 7:45 a.m. I signed up at the food court area. You sign in every time you walk. After consistently showing up and walking you get a T-shirt, then a sweat shirt. Plus there are raffles for lots of fun prizes. When you check in there are tickets to put your name on and throw into a jar. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love all of these activities I've been encouraged to join in! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Still motivated to make 10,000 steps every day.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I know I haven't been publishing my weight loss. I'm at 250 days on Spark People and my weight loss journey. I am down 40 pounds. The last 10 have been a struggle. I go down and then up and then down. I'm happy to have lost 40 pounds and am still active on my weight loss journey. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Saturday, November 11, 2016 I went on a hike to Table Rock with the Boise Spark Team and friends. It was really nice to meet new friends and have a bigger group - 5 people. I have really enjoyed getting to meet new people and going on hikes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This post has a photo overload - beware. There were so many great photos that I couldn't choose just a few. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am trying to have more pictures of me in them and to feel beautiful even at this weight. I've went through to many years not having my picture taken and I'm trying to just go with it. It is my life and even though I am heavy right now, I still need photos with me in them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the things I read a lot when people lose a ton of weight - they wish they had more pictures to compare in the journey. Even though I don't enjoy looking at pictures of myself - I'm trying to transform my thinking into self love at any weight. One day when I'm gone and my children go through my blog books - they'll be happy to have photos of their mom. </div>

We took a detour to see if we could find a different trail and found these fun rocks stacked. Even though the trail didn't take us anywhere near the trail to table rock - it was a fun adventure. </div>

Taking a little break to catch our breath. This ladies all participate in running programs and run a lot of 5K, 10K's and marathons. It's very motivating to find a group that encourages me to do a little better all the time - not to mention get out of my comfort zone and live.</div>

It's been a learning process for me to know all about LGBTQIA. There is so much to learn and the more I learn the bigger my heart becomes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
LGBTQIA stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, Intersex and Allies</div>

I enjoyed getting to know these beautiful Transgender women. I was honored to hear their stories and answer questions they had about my belief. I'm not going to share their stories, other then to say they are very courageous to live the gender of the spirit that came to earth in the wrong body.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the women was raised in the LDS community. She has some real tender feelings on how she's been treated by family and home teachers. I can tell that the separation she feels is quite hard. I encouraged her to send the video about Neca and Grayson (above) to her sister and hope that it can change her heart in a loving way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love being a Mama Dragon and showing love and support to these beautiful spirits.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I'd like to share another story from an LDS mother and her Transgender child in hopes to share some insight in raising an LGBTQIA child. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MamaDragonStoryProject/?hc_location=ufi">There are so many precious stories on Mama Dragon Story Project here: </a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I was raised in what seemed to be a typical LDS family in the Mesa/Tempe area of Arizona. I was the oldest of five girls and my family attended church just about every Sunday. When I was fourteen our lives were turned upside-down due to my parent’s divorce. At that point In my life I felt like I needed the church more than ever, and I promised myself that I would have a celestial family of my own some day. I believed in the promise of a celestial family, and felt like the church provided the consistency I needed to survive emotionally through my own families trials.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My husband and I were high school sweethearts who managed to survive a long distance relationship while we were in college. We were married right out of college and started working on our family just a year later. Over the next ten years we had five beautiful children all Born In the Covenant and life was good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When my fourth child turned three years old things really started to change for our family. My precious baby girl seemed to be so unhappy at times, and would often say things like, “I hate Myself” or “I’m ugly”. She would cry and complain about her clothes and seemed to be increasingly uncomfortable with girlish things. My husband and I hoped that she would eventually outgrow her self-image issues, but things only got worse as the years went by.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One day after a primary lesson about the pre-existence. She jumped in the car, and before the car door was even closed she said, “Mom…why did Heavenly Father give me a girl body when my spirit is a boy?” I was speechless, and I found myself holding back tears with no explanation. I remember this moment so clearly because it was a turning point for me as a mother.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At that point I realized that this was something my child would not be growing out of any time soon. My husband and I sprung into action trying to find research that could help us help our child. We began allowing her to wear boy clothes with Sunday as the exception, and did our best to use the proper pronouns. One Sunday she was moping around the house trying to avoid wearing a dress and my husband just couldn’t take it anymore so he said, “God doesn’t care what you wear to church. Go upstairs and get your brother's suit on.”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The smile on his face lit us all up with happiness and his countenance completely changed. We both knew there was no turning back. We praised him for his courage, but warned him that people at church might not be as accepting of his clothing. Nevertheless his determination to be himself clearly outweighed his fear of being judged. As we approached the doors of the church building I could hear his little voice saying, “Be courageous...you can do this.” Over and over again. I remember feeling proud, afraid, happy, and sad all at the same time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That day was a family victory, but a few weeks later an incident with the primary president forced us to address the issue with our Bishop. My husband naively assumed that this was something he could easily explain to the ward, and he asked the Bishop if he could speak in church. The Bishop was cordial with us, but declined the offer to speak saying it would be a distraction. He then told us that he could not allow anyone in the ward to use the pronoun (he) while addressing our child in church. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is the moment when things got very bad for me and the church.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My child being transgender was never a problem for me personally. I never felt like there was anything wrong with him. However, I distinctly remember being terrified of him being mistreated by people who just couldn’t understand who he was. I thought about his friends, his school, the church, and the people around us in our neighborhood. It was my job to keep him safe and happy. I felt like I needed to wrap him up with love to protect him. How would they treat him? Would he be accepted? I felt crushed by the weight of those questions, and I realized that this decision would affect our entire family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When it came to the church there was no way I could allow my child to return to what I felt was a hostile environment. Several adults had already made comments to him, and I felt like it was dangerous for him to be there. I just wasn’t willing to let anyone teach him that god wouldn’t accept him as he was. I honestly felt like I was being forced to choose between my faith and my child. For me there was no choice, and it hurt like Hell to see that the church wasn’t behind us protecting my child. I felt like my family was under attack by the same community I had looked to for protection. The same community we had loved, counseled, and served with year after year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Family, A Proclamation To the World was the only church document that was ever framed, and hung on the walls of our home. That document was used by the Stake President and the Bishop to explain why we shouldn’t allow our child to live as a boy. I was devastated and I felt completely lost at times. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the first time in my life I felt a large separation from the church, and it was almost too real at times. I remember falling to the ground and telling God that I didn’t even know who I was supposed to be anymore. I can honestly say that those were some of the hardest times of my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As time went by the fruits of our family decision began to pay off, and I felt like I was finally able to catch my breath. Then one afternoon something touched me in a way that I had never been touched before. I felt surrounded by love and understanding in a room where no one else was around. My heart was comforted and I felt calm first the first time in a long while. I had the overwhelming feeling that my child had been sent to me for a reason, and that it was my job help him fulfill his purpose whether the church was behind me or not.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I realized that we allowed our sons spirit to blossom by accepting who he really was. It was his courage that picked me up when it was down, and it is his happiness that drives me forward now. The most beautiful part of it all is that my son knows I chose him!</div>

I guess they were having a small party at their house that ended up with more people then they thought would come. It ended up being a Rage. The Party was Saturday, Oct 29th.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Brady is having the best time living with roommates and in a house by the college. He's making lots of memories. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The reason I knew they had a party at their house was because Ellen, Brady's roommate's Facebook post: Playing "the floor is lava" as a child is really good training for when you're an adult and you have to attempt to get around your house after you accidentally throw a rager.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't leave out Ellen's costume - WOW!!</div>

Brady's facebook post: I impulse bought some spider web suspenders in September and then impulse bought this spider web bow tie last week. Now it's my adorbs adult Halloween costume to greet trick or treaters with. #LoveTheGeek</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Awe, he's just too cute! I'm such a proud mama!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Unfortunately he didn't get one trick or treater. So sad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is more of the facebook conversation that I have to save for my blog book. They make me laugh! When the only trick-or-treater Brady and Ellen got was the pizza guy...and Vinson paid him to show up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*Hears a knock at door*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Brady: Did we get one? (Trick-or-treater)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Vince: The pizza's here!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Brady: Dang it! You got my hopes up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ellen: (To the delivery guy) Do you want some candy?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pizza guy: Umm sure!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ellen: Can you say trick or treat?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pizza guy: Trick or treat!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Saturday I decided to get my 10K walk in at Kleiner Park and then head over to The Village and watch the fountains dance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I enjoyed Fleetwood Mac's "Go Your Own Way" fountain dance. It's the first time I've seen them dance to that song.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been saving for a new roof for some time now. Although I haven't saved the whole amount of money needed to get a new roof without going into debt, I couldn't wait any longer. It's really nice to have it done and not have to worry the next time the wind blows. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will be working extra hard to have the debt paid over the next few months because I absolutely hate being in debt. It's been an expensive summer being a homeowner. A few months ago I had to get a new air conditioner and furnace. On the flip side, it nice to have these big things done so I won't have to worry about it for years to come. </div>

I went with a company called <a href="http://www.ehroofing.com/">E&H Roofing</a> because I had several friends comment on what a great company they are. I wanted someone who would do a quality job that would last for years to come. They offer a 10 year warranty on their workmanship and the shingles have a limited lifetime warranty. I hope this is the last time in my remaining life span that I will have to think about fixing the roof on my home. </div>

My poor detached garage had the original wood shakes on it - and lots of them were missing. My original house before the remodel was built in 1920. I'm not sure when the detached garage was built - but I'm sure it's close to 100 years old too. It didn't even have plywood covering the rafters. It's nice to have a new roof on the garage. </div>

A few months ago my sister in law sent me a text to google "Mama Dragons". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I received the text of course I googled it and was immediately in love with the MAMA DRAGONS mission. This is who I am and I knew that I needed to become a Mama Dragon too! I sent an email hoping to connect with the Mama Dragons in the Boise area. </div>

The name “Mama Dragon” came from a blog post Meg Abhau had written shortly after her 13 year old son came out of the closet. This is from her blog from May 8, 2012.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
“I have always been a mother bear. Once I found out about Jon, that didn’t seem a fierce enough title. There is a whole new level of protection that has come over me. I now call myself a Mama Dragon. I could literally breathe fire if someone hurt my son. Dragons have talons, scales, claws, fangs and they can fly. I will use all of these resources if someone were to hurt Jon. So, we are circling our wagons around him, but I know we can’t protect him from everything. And as a Mama Dragon, that is the hardest part of this. I don’t know what the future holds. I just know that there will be love.”</div>

I had a great time reaching out to people who stopped by our booth. It's all about showing love one to another, giving hugs and letting LGBTQIA know that they matter and are loved. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm extremely excited to meet others in the area who have LGBTQIA children. It is my hope to bring safety to our children and make the world a better place by loving these dear children of God. They matter and they are loved - they need to know this. They are valuable and deserve to live a happy loving life. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The "Out of Darkness, Suicide prevention was such an emotional event. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When my son came out as a gay man, my biggest fear was that he would commit suicide. This is a huge concern with parents who have LGBTQIA children. I know within this group there are been so many losses of children and we are fighting to prevent even one more child who doesn't feel valued or worthy to be who they are. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We need to stop this trend, this hate in the world against these children of God. They are wonderful, valued, smart, gifted, lovable children who have much to bring to the world. Lets love them, hug them and support them to be who they are. Let's stop the hate that is out there and make this world a safe place!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a little bit about the "Out of Darkness Walk":</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Several hundred people gathered for the Treasure Valley's Out of the Darkness walk Saturday morning, an American Foundation for Suicide Prevention fundraiser meant to promote resources and provide support to those contemplating suicide or affected by it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The event, held at Kleiner Park in Meridian, raised over $40,000 for the Idaho chapter of the AFSP, which was created about a year ago. Speakers praised Idaho's recent suicide prevention mandates before teams of walkers embarked on the 5K around The Village at Meridian.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"The legislature and health care commission of Idaho have recognized suicide as the No.1 issue facing the state," said W. Stewart Wilder, president of the Idaho Suicide Prevention Coalition. He said Idaho's suicide prevention initiatives are "really unheard of" on a national level.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Along the foothills that line Boise Idaho is a cross that sits over the valley. The cross is set upon rock and it's called Table Rock. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My walking group from Boise SparkPeople set up a walk to hike up to Table Rock.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I heard it was a difficult hike and I was pretty scared to do it. For me, it's always difficult to do something unknown and that I haven't done before. It's completely outside of my comfort zone. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I debated back and forth if I was going to join the hike. Finally, I just had to push myself outside the door and make myself do it. I know the only way I will live a beautiful life is to challenge myself and push outside my comfort zone.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been working hard on cutting down the honeysuckle vine on the garage and preparing it to get a new roof. The estimate for a new roof on the house and garage .... wait for it .... $ 10,262. Gasp. It's got to be done - oh yea! Anyway, I've been killing myself to get it cut down. </div>

Before and beautiful Honeysuckle Vine</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I hate it and will never let it get that big again. I almost caved and called someone to come and do it for me, but I'm just too cheap. I really loved it in full bloom, but I just let it get too big. It was about 3 feet in depth and about 3 feet over the roof. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxQ6Pozh_Hn4ON_-ormcv2CYdEu6J32D_E9ZphLgZ7PyiJ3rMRYWsiNKzAfpBxP-ApUv9eaIQ3W81702Bz4owxV4gfdbYcytH6LsXH1uyBCWqjwYcAVKGd8YS7PLkJfOgOjbnacndh_zlD/s1600/IMG_0349.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxQ6Pozh_Hn4ON_-ormcv2CYdEu6J32D_E9ZphLgZ7PyiJ3rMRYWsiNKzAfpBxP-ApUv9eaIQ3W81702Bz4owxV4gfdbYcytH6LsXH1uyBCWqjwYcAVKGd8YS7PLkJfOgOjbnacndh_zlD/s640/IMG_0349.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here it is with most of it cut down. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I still have to cut more down and clean it up off the garage, but the main focus was getting it off the roof. I have a huge pile of vines on the cement pad - I've bagged about 20 bags full, filled my city issued garbage cans 4 times. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8-ujvaNhg_huwv7eYkyXpbbXrK8sRMcBotNqUY-zu8y3vvbf1Db7250Ey8-8VLFeowOIweQIiO2qcfTCr376Tus_rUQFZiNSiMTm-YzdtjK8Fx4h-5V1k8pDt0WIV9esMqhHhoth0Was_/s1600/IMG_0350.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8-ujvaNhg_huwv7eYkyXpbbXrK8sRMcBotNqUY-zu8y3vvbf1Db7250Ey8-8VLFeowOIweQIiO2qcfTCr376Tus_rUQFZiNSiMTm-YzdtjK8Fx4h-5V1k8pDt0WIV9esMqhHhoth0Was_/s640/IMG_0350.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh man ... it's such a huge job. But.... I'm so happy I was able to get it cut down off of the roof. I've moved this pile of vines to finished bagging up to the corner of my yard. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It will take me a while to get it all bagged up and thrown away. I thought about getting a dumpster delivered to dispose of all the vines. However, again I'm too cheap. The city does leaf pick up for free when it's put in paper leaf bags in November. I'd rather do free then pay for it to be thrown away. It is a little difficult to get the vines in those paper bags without ripping the bag, but it has to be done. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At least the roof doesn't have vines on it anymore and is ready for a new roof. </div>

I've been working on the 2012 journal binders for my CTR 7 class. I'm trying to get a head start so that I'm not working on them during the Christmas holiday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to make my own pages this year. I know there are a lot of cute ones with scrapbook accents like I used last year, but last year was very expensive to print them out for each child's binder in my class. With the thought of being more budget conscience, I decided to simplify the pages.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You probably have figured out by now in my weekly lesson journal pages, that I like real pictures - not cartoon pictures. I really like what they ended up looking like and I know my children will LOVE their journal binders.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm using the front page of the 2012 Sharing Time outline for the front of the binders. This works out really great for my CTR 7 children who will be baptized this year.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">I'll TRY to do this Wednesday mini challenge. But it is making me about to cry. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">Here is what I'll have to do 2 times: If you were part of the summer challenge, you know how much I hate and can't do Jumping Jacks and Burpees from the drills. This might take me a few day. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">Not sure if I'll do my first and last name (the first number) or just my first name. Both numbers will require much from this old body. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">Burpees: 75 1st name 55 </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">Push ups: 60 1st name 30 </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">Jumping Jacks: 140 1st name 90 </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">Crunches: 10 1st name 0</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">I seriously hate burpees!! Just for my 1st name I would have to do 110 of these. That is such a joke. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"> My second response was throwing in the towel - but they told me to substitute Mountain Climbers instead. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
A mountain climber starts in a plank and you shuffle your feet back and forth like you are climbing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">Here is what I said:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to finish my name (I'm only doing my first name). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">I can't do that many burpees. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">I have been working on the Jumping jacks 20 at a time and then rest - but I was able to get them done. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">I'm not strong enough to do burpees. I tried and sorta did 5 of them - but it's unrealistic for me to even think about 20 - not to mention 110 of them. I throw in the towel and admit I am not fit enough to do burpees - those evil things. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">S = 30 burpees / mountain climber </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">O= 25 burpees / mountain climber </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">N= 40 jumping jacks </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">D=15 push ups </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">R=15 push ups </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">A= 50 jumping jacks </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">Now I'm off to do my strength training and crunches. I still have to go on a walk and my 30 minutes on the bike. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">This challenge killed me - but I was able to complete it substituting the mountain climbers instead of burpees.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">The next challenge was Friday, it looked easy until you see the last line that says to do it 7 times.</span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtRmK236WlvvdcHjtXu6T9C4IjboJ6MWYcDQy6I3uS5V9mTlE2F_ZBNAtUqq_roWIFTlFbj-qHB8_SLzUdmLGpI3oZ1KBxU0CnBKjmQG2t_y2XW8HoZTT0Obs0DSxj-k375WGkz5OT2fl-/s1600/mini.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="604" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtRmK236WlvvdcHjtXu6T9C4IjboJ6MWYcDQy6I3uS5V9mTlE2F_ZBNAtUqq_roWIFTlFbj-qHB8_SLzUdmLGpI3oZ1KBxU0CnBKjmQG2t_y2XW8HoZTT0Obs0DSxj-k375WGkz5OT2fl-/s640/mini.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;">I was successful in doing all 7 rounds!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">The weekend challenge:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">So, I was thinking about what we should do. I found this dude who posts workout vids on YouTube and he seems to be popular. Let's try it, hmm? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">He shows modified versions of all or most moves it seems, so we should all be good to go. Let's give it our best shot! Take the breaks you need, modify where necessary. Just give it an honest try. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WyyYKCOIk5w" width="560"></iframe><br />
<span style="color: blue;">My response to the challenge:</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">I skimmed through the challenge. YOW! Lots of bouncing - getting on the floor. . . . Those thing I hate - in a loving way. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue;">I'll try it this weekend and modify where possible. I like the little box on the corner with the modified moves - very handy. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue;">Thanks for the weekend challenge and whipping this dragon into shape! </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">I did it at a low level - but kept moving the whole 30 minutes and sweated up a storm. I'm not used to doing exercise videos. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Then the Tuesday challenge and the day before the weigh-in and the last day of week 2 is:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">So, since strength training is the this week, we need to get those last minutes of ST! </span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red;">I will list ten choices for you. Pick 5 and do as many rounds as you can. Modify where needed and if necessary; switch them to something that works for you. The point is not to "win" over anyone here, but to train. Get stronger. Feel the satisfaction. Get healthier. Those are the goals, so make these moves work for you, OK? </span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red;">1. 50 crunches </span><br />
<span style="color: red;">2. 20 push ups </span><br />
<span style="color: red;">3. 20 burpees </span><br />
<span style="color: red;">4. 50 squats </span><br />
<span style="color: red;">5. 20 Bulgarian squats (ten on each leg) </span><br />
<span style="color: red;">6. 20 lunges (ten on each leg) </span><br />
<span style="color: red;">7. 20 windshield wipers (options: legs straight, bent or on an exercise ball) Here's a good tutorial: </span><br />
<span style="color: red;">8. 15 standing dumbbell rows. </span><br />
<span style="color: red;">9. 15 standing or seated dumbbell shoulder presses </span><br />
<span style="color: red;">10. 20 bicep curls with dumbbells, band, or whatever you have at hand. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">I did it and here is my response:</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue;">OK, I can do 6 of these because they are in my regular ST training I've been doing this week. Glad it's something I can do. I need to mow the lawn first and then I'll get to it. I just returned home from a long day at work. Ready to get one more good work in before weigh in day. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue;">1. 50 crunches Done 4 x = 200 </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">2. 20 push ups Done 3 x = 60 </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">4. 50 squats Done 4 x = 200 </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">8. 15 standing dumbbell rows. Done 8 x = 120 </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">9. 15 standing or seated dumbbell shoulder presses Done 8 x = 120 </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">10. 20 bicep curls with dumbbells, band, or whatever you have at hand. Done 8 x = 120 </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
It was a great week! I came in at the top 3 in all areas of the challenge. I just need to do that every week!<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>

<a href="http://media.ldscdn.org/pdf/magazines/friend-september-2008/2008-09-14-did-you-think-to-pray-eng.pdf">A prayer chart to keep track of morning and evening prayer. This also comes from The Friend, September 2008 here. The print out from The Friend is 2 different pages. I combined them on one page. You color in the day you pray. Morning prayer is the top picture and evening prayer is the bottom picture. The goal is by the end of the month, both pictures are colored in. I had to go over the numbers with a pen because when I shrunk it down - you couldn't see the numbers anymore. </a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday I went for a walk along the Boise River/Greenbelt by Ann Morrison and Julia Davis park. It was a beautiful evening and started my walk around 6:30 pm. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I arrived and parked my car near the children's playground, there were 2 police cars speaking to a woman. They walked over the the play ground equipment right before I started my walk. There were 2 police officers and detectives. I didn't know what was going on until I came home and read my news feed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Boise Police are investigating an attempted kidnapping at Ann Morrison Park Saturday afternoon. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Police say a mother was in the park near the swings with her three-year-old son. When she looked back, her son was not where she had left him. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A man was seen carrying the child on his shoulders, walking away from the park. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The mother ran toward the man and yelled at him to put the boy down. The man complied, then ran away from the park." </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so glad the mother was able to get her son back. It amazes me that this happens with so many people around. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I walk by myself a lot. I like the solitude where I can think and enjoy the music. On my way back, I had planned to stop at the adult exercise gym in the park and do some strength training. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I sat down, I noticed a guy that I had past a few minutes earlier had turned around on the path and came over to the exercise area. I was really weary of him because he was going the other way down the path. He had already past the exercise gym. He looked at the equipment and started to do some exercises. I was the only one on the exercise equipment before he arrived. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are people all around and walk by frequently. I kept a watchful eye on him. I didn't want to be mugged. I kept doing my exercises and was on guard to protect myself, scream, fight - whatever I needed to do. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When he saw some people coming down the path, he decided to leave. I was relieved to see people coming and thought I'd just fall into step behind the other people. I feel strength in numbers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got off the equipment to join in with the other people. I saw the man slow down in a wooded area of the trail. Then the people stopped and looked a the equipment and I couldn't leave by myself because I saw this guy hanging around that area. I did a few more exercises while waiting for them to look at the equipment. When they left I slid in right behind them and felt safer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm always aware of my surroundings. I don't walk in the dark and usually feel safe and trust my instincts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's so unusual to have 2 weird things happen in a few hours in the park. Per the description of the man who tried to kidnap the child and the man who turned to follow me, it isn't the same person. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel like I did everything right to remain safe. This will not deter me from continuing my walks or going to those parks. Boise is a VERY SAFE community - but there are weird people everywhere - parking lots, parks, stores - everywhere. I am always aware of my surroundings and am proactive in keeping myself safe. That's just what single women do. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It gave me the creeps and makes me a little angry that this guy tried to spook me. I'm safe, I was able to get my walk in and some strength training in. It just ruined a perfectly beautiful evening ... the jerk!<br />

The berm along the side of my house. I love the marigolds I planted this year that edge the berm. They make such a bold beautiful statement. The red geraniums in the center are beautiful too, but for some reason, they didn't do that well in the full sun front of the berm. They are there, but didn't grow into big bushes like the rest of my yard. </div>
