We're Moving to Canada !!

It has been literally FORVER since I made a post. So this one is going to be pretty lengthy - bare with me.

Let's see...not a whole lot has changed on the busy front. School is getting worse with thinking about transfers and applications and all that jazz. Work is getting better. We are finally working our way to a set schedule. YIPEE !!! :]
------------------------------------------------

I have been working out on my Wii Fit almost everyday. I have lost 3 more lbs :] I'm excited.

------------------------------------------------

My bubble was burst last week. I was looking forward to painting pumpkins with my girl, but it didn't work out. Sandy had to meet with her parents about details on the new house. Which is awesome that they are moving!! YIPEE :] I can't wait for them to get out of that crappy house and get into a safe house. And the best part is they can take the dogs AND they are moving only like two houses away from my other brother's house :]

SO...when they get settled they better believe I will be there all the time. Brooke is feeling alot better, and I know once they get into the new house, she will be just fine. So skipping out on pumpkins is a-okay by me for now. We will have to paint double next year :]

------------------------------------------------

We went out Friday for our 3 1/2 year anniversary! We went to Sakura in Westminster. The chef threw food into people's mouths and I caught it and Justin didn't. How embarassing :] We had a good time and went out for Hoffman's apple pie ice cream afterwards.

------------------------------------------------

This weekend is going to be super busy. We are leaving tomorrow night after work and going down to Sykesville for the weekend. My church is having it's annual Christmas Bazaar. So we will be down there helping. Up early, up late ... sounds amazing...NOT!

------------------------------------------------

Now onto the hotest topic of the hour - politics and our soon-to-be POTUS Obama. Justin really hates the idea that he is going to be in office. So much that he swears we are moving to Canada. I really hate cold weather. So I'd better pack all my winter stuff. And I'm pretty sure my dad said he's coming along, too :] Was I voting for McCain?! Absolutely. But change might be good. Who knows. We will have to wait and see. Slots on the other hand...no thanks. None of that money will go to schooling systems or to emergency responders.

-------------------------------------------------

On a happier note...the trees by my house are finally turning into rich shades of orange and red. They are so gorgeous :] I love fall. But if it were December, I would swear it was going to snow. The sky was white almost all day today. I dread the snow :[

-------------------------------------------------

Thanks for listening to me ramble. I have to be at work early...goodnight :]

It's Been a While...

So my neighbors switched their internet providers and I had to wait for them to set it up so we can "borrow" their wi-fi. Thanks goodness. I was going through withdrawl :]

Updates:

1. Justin and I went to dinner last night. Red Lobster. My favorite. And then he bought me caramel apple coffee creamer. It's delicious!

2. I lost 2 more pounds this week :] GO ME!

I think that's all for now. I am going to get my hair cut today. Contrary to what most people think... no it's not short enough. And I realized that it is the same length in the back that it is in the front. You would think that's good...but not when it's supposed to be a "bob" hair style. I don't think I described it to her correctly. So it's grown out a little so we will try again. I am going to Hair Cuttery this time since they are on my way to school. GEOGRAPHY test today! Woot Woot! p.s. - I'm going to fail :]



I am also asking for prayers for Justin's brother and his family (Fred, Brandee, Owen and Baby Girl Markle). I know lots of you from my family and friends from church read this. So just keep them in your prayers, as they are in ours. Thanks.

Wild Animals

So...the other morning when I was leaving for work I spotted this awesome-looking spider web on this bush-like-nature-thing on my front porch. It was covered in dew and I couldn't help but a take a picture.

Oh! Diet update....I lost another pound. I haven't been exercising as much as I should. I have the hardest time getting up earlier than I have to in the morning. But still loosing...pretty cool.

Oh! and p.s. - I LOVE SECRETS :]

Torture

I put myself on this diet and my goal is to loose at least 20 pounds. I would like to loose at least 10 by the time that I go back to school. And dare I say...this diet is torture. Unlike other diets I have been on, this is the only one have stuck to for more than 2 days. I usually cave when I see sweets and coffee. Oh man, is coffee a weakness for me. And by I love coffee, I mean...I love a little coffee with my cream and sugar. Not the healthiest thing. Although, I did have a small cup today with minimal sugar and a little creamer.

I have also started exercising more often. The other day I jogged at least 3/4 of a mile. Some days I feel better than others. Today I have a headache and I feel tired. Probably from a lack of excess carbs and sugar. My iPod glued to my ear doesn't help matters either!

So far I have lost 1.6 pounds since I started this endeavor on Sunday 8/10. Keep your fingers crossed :]
