Finally Moved

It's been forever since I've posted anything. Sorry about that. It's been crazy around my house. We signed papers on the house October 3rd and finally moved in over the past weekend. Internet is not connected yet either. I will attempt to post a picture of the new house sometime soon. I'm more excited now that we are actually living in the house. Of course, everything is still in complete disarray but other than that I'm happy about the house. Anything going on that I missed?

I'm buying a house!

Yay! I'm buying a house. I'm so excited and nervous all at the same time. Actually, I'm probably about 80% sick to my stomach and only 20% excited. :) I'm sure it will get better after the papers are signed and we're moving in.

I feel pretty, oh so pretty

Ok well maybe not quite pretty but hell I'm happy! I've lost 43 lbs total so far! I'm so happy and can't wait to keep going. I haven't written anything in awhile and just thought I'd share. Things have been going really well lately. Gosh I hate to even write that b/c that always starts a chain of bad events. :) Oh well. If I lose another 10 lbs, I'll weigh less than my middle sister. I have NEVER weighed less than her in my ENTIRE life. It's not really a big deal but I've always been the big sister in every sense of the word.

I'm also only 7 lbs away from meeting one of my goals of a 50lb weight loss! Whoo hoo! Ok I'm just excited and I'll shut up now. As for the rest of my list, I'm working on a whole bunch of the goals at once and some will just take awhile. Wish me luck and I hope everyone else is doing as well as I am for once.

Time Flies....

This year has gotten waaay out of control. I promise that I'm not just getting old. It was January the other day and now it's June. What the heck? I don't really have a lot to say but it just hit me today that the year is half gone. I haven't done anything productive, made this year count, etc. *sigh* Maybe next year will be better....

#100 The Telescope

I finally learned how to use the telescope so I get to take it off my list! Travis came over and helped me figure it out. Now when Bryce gets back home, we'll have to go outside and use it. Also, I checked out 3 books from the library that are on my list. I will post my list of books shortly.
