FABULOUS weekend with the family!

it is so nice knowing that I have a place to go to, to get away from the madness. i just love that my parents still live in the same house and hanging out with them is so much fun-dad and i did a lot of disney planning-YAH! so excited, but so tired just thinking of how much we are trying to cram in!! LOL!!

hope your weekend was awesome as well-and just think next weekend is a LONG weekend for labor day! HOORAY!!!!

today was AMAZEBALLS!!!

its friday, its friday! work went great! and i even worked an extra shift so my next paycheck will rock! woot woot!!

after work mom and dad dropped by with goodies-i love when they come by and they always bring bananas! LOL!!!

after they left i headed home (funny right!?!) i just need a weekend at home to just relax by the pool and do nothing! imma so excited!!!! lazy weekend by the pool-YES please!!!!

have a fabulous weekend everyone and remember next weekend is going to be a long one! YAH!! love that! :)

FANTASTICALLY sunday!!

it started out super at church this morning worshiping God with great music and be surrounded by my girls-Lori, Darlene, and Stephanie. Then I saw Susan from work-but she works at the NW campus- and it was SOOOOOO great to see her and meet her hubby!!!!

after church i seriously worked out because this afternoon was our work picnic, and i knew i was going to be cheating, so i did that and then cheated- and it was so yummy, but now i feel so sick in my tummy. remind me to stop having cheat days as i always go way too far-ugh!!!! i wish i could tell when i am full instead i eat all my points and still feel hungry or eat way too much. ugh, ugh, ugh.

but anyway-the picnic was fun and we got double prizes because not a lot of people were there-YAH for us!!!

after the picnic i decided to pay a visit to my parents since the picnic was near Kimball and i got to pick from my mom's garden and my mom got me the cutest pair of brown trouser pants and a super cute and sophisticated brown hat-and i can pull of a cute hat! YAH!!!!

so fun to catch up with my fam-especially because baby brother is moving next week-i'm so going to miss him and not just because he's the tech savy one in the family-although he pretty much is! LOL!!!

and now i am laying on my couch trying to recover from today-no more cheat days for awhile! Let's have a great week everyone!!!!

i am so sorry its been way TOOOO long and i mean this for realz!!

life has been CRAZY busy but CRAZY good!!! things have gotten a lot better since i over indulged that one day-boy was it rough to come back, but i am back on track! YAH! my pity party of one is OVER!!!

work has been good-although tomorrow I am picking up an extra shift-it could potentially be a 14 hour day! YIKES STRIPES! prayers and well wishes would be appreciated! its nice to know that I am figuring things out, i've been there 8 months know, that is just CRAZY!!!!

things are great at my apartment, i just cleaned yesterday-boy do I have to clean a lot and its just me!!! but i just love my new place, still decorating, but hope to have a house warming party soon!

also excited because i have lot's of stuff planned this fall! Stephanie and I are planning on going to Camp Lebanon in October and we are going out to Sioux Falls, SD to see our friend Brenda! YAH! so much fun! we might even take a train, which ive never been on before!!!

and i've been getting tan (ish!) which is just crazy to me, because most of you know i either burn or am pasty white! LOL!

so things are good here, how are you guys? can you believe its almost fall? CRAZINESS! where has this summer gone!!! updates please!!!!

my addiction to food

man its been a tough week. i could really use some prayers and encouragement. I made puppy chow with some friends and then next thing i know i am eating the whole bowl and i even got sick from it. ugh. and then of course weigh in was bad, which was too be expected, but its just so hard to bounce back. i thought i had my demons under control, but apparently not. this weekend has been so hard, all i want to do is eat and i am annoyed that others don't have to watch what they eat. i could just really use some prayers. its been pretty rough. :(

its been awhile- i know, i know- excuses, excuses!!

but life has been CRAZY busy!!! oye vay!

its been good though! so far i am surviving my 10 hour shifts! barely though! and i picked up an extra shift, i think i am certifiable now!!!

things are going well! i feel like i am finally settled into my apartment-HOORAY! only a couple more boxes to go! i think it helps that my friend Lori is having a garage sale and she said I could contribute to it! YAH!

speaking of Lori, I've had so much fun learning how to cook from her and Stephanie lately. I really value them helping me figure out menu items to make that are healthy. I learned how to make french toast which is so YUMMY! and scrambled eggs! i should make a "adults who have the palates of kids and don't have a natural cooking ability" cookbook!!! easy peasy stuff! i think imma on to something!

other stuff that has been going on is getting settled in my new home FP 1 @ the south campus! i love my coworkers so much! The Karen's and Tara! I love Karen W especially, we get a long so well and we both started around the same time-speaking of that- i hit my 6 month mark yesterday! they say it takes a good 6 months to figure out the position-while i hope they are right! but its been so fun learning together with Karen W and Tara-Karen J is so awesome because she knows everything!!!

what else has been going on? on Monday night another coworker Tarina (who goes to Westwood-alot of my coworkers go to westwood-which I love!) invited me to a worship thing at Lake George. so great to worship God after a long day at work!

i just feel so happy with life-even though work can be stressful-i just take it day by day! its a good feeling to just leave work problems at work.

and its really nice to have wednesdays off in the middle of the week-it felt like monday today-but now its almost Friday aka bride day! Yippee skippee! well how are you guys?

Happy memorial day!

This long weekend has been FANTASTIC and so needed!!!!

On Friday i basically was a couch potato, its so nice to have a big screen tv that i can hear and watch Say yes to the dress! I love that Friday night is bridal night! LOL!!

then saturday it was a get up early and work out day, there are just not enough hours in the day! After i finish working out, then its like the day is over. ugh. oh well.

but then yesterday i got up and went to the early service at church, i figure its a good idea to get up early and stay on my normal early morning schedule. church was great and my girls Stephanie and Lori got to finally meet Susan my awesome trainer/coworker, which was great!

then we went to Lori's for brunch and i learned how to make breakfast food! YUMMY! im especially excited about a weight watchers egg product that I usually ignored because im not an egg person, but i used it to make french toast, and its really fun to cook and figure out how to make recipes healthier! wow, i cannot believe i just said that! LOL!

then after catching up with my Jesus girls, Stephanie and I attempted to go garage saleing, but of course we only found one! ARGH and it was a dud! so we decided to hit some thrift stores! fun times!

then today i got up early again! crazy i know! and i watched the twins lose, while cleaning! i almost have my boxes unpacked! HOORAY! and my misc box (why on earth did i do this?) is almost eliminated! yah!!!

and then this afternoon i spent cleaning (crazy i know!) i actually feel like an adult! so this weekend was FAN-freakin-TASTIC!!!!

Let's have a great week! I could use prayers for transitioning into my early shift, it helps that I've done it before, but its still something new! but it will be so nice to have a day off in the middle of the week! i just gotta keep thinking that!!! prayers are always appreciated! have a wonderful week!

and please don't forget why we have memorial day! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to the men and women who so bravely fight for our freedom! im so grateful! and a special thanks to your families who are without you during this time! Thank you and God Bless!
