Rushing in

I'm just rushing in to change clothes, let Hope nap alittle.. clean up, then RUN out to the store and do my grocery shopping before Micah gets home! Heaven help me right?! LOL I'm starting over on Phase 1 so I can get my body back on track... My work out went well.. they have all new weight machines at the Y I go to so I was trying to get used to them all... but anyways, I did my work out... went over to McDonalds with my friend and I got a grilled Chicken salad.. YUMMY.. definatly hit the spot.. then I headed over to Sams.. Hope threw a fit through out the ENTIRE store lol... So I hurried out of there... and came home.. so she is finishing out her nap right now.. She's paying me back for my weekend getaway lol.Alright well i better get going. gotta do my hair and put on alittle makeup so I don't look like scum going to the grocery store.

Some of you were asking about my boots ;) Sorry this picture sucks.. they are square toe..I will try and get a better picture later... I wore that skirt and my boots with Black tights :) I got alot of compliments on them! :)

The New House

Here is the Inlaws new house that I visited todayIts coming along really wellFun watching it go upThats FIL standing in the kitchen, I am standing in the living room taking the pictures.. very awesome effectAlittle bit broader view into the kitchen from the living room..(in case anyone was wondering why I was posting these in my journal.. Hubby looks at my journal alot and I like him to be able to see what is going on at home, the things he is missing.. in fact thats why I have been posting less and less as friends only.. I made this journal with the intention to help my husband see what goes on from day to day and know how I feel.. but thanks to some immaturity I had to do some more personal things friends only.. I've just come to realize.. it doesn't matter what they think of me... I want to use this as a tool to communicate with my friends and family... and to help keep my husband involved in our lives alittle more, sorry just explaining myself here)Oh and an update while I'm at it! Jonathan should be home in alittle over a month!!!!!! WOW.. i can't believe its been about a year since he left!! What a rollar Coaster ride it's been... I definatly have learned alot over the last year... Gona take what I learned and apply it to my daily life, learn from it and move on right? Tomorrow morning I am taking Micah to preschool then I am heading over to the Ymca to work out and get back into full swing of my diet, I can't tell you how many times I was told "You look WONDERFUL" or "You look Gorgous!" and some "WOW you've gotten smaller!!" What an AMAZING feeling... expecially coming from my BIL Carey who I wasn't even sure if he liked me at all... His father (my MIL ex husband) told me I was beautiful many times... Definatly makes me realize all this is worth the effort.. I feel so much better, so much more confident in myself.... I know I don't have to be a stick in life.. but for my health... for the sake of my family, I wanted to get healthy and in shape.. I was to run a mile with my son and not get short winded.. I want to ride my bike for 20 miles and enjoy the scenery... I want to be active chasing my kiddos around the park... best way to start is lose the weight and get in great shape... luckily I have pretty good muscle mass from the 9 years of soccer, I feel 110% more entergized... I sit still for to long and I get ansy!! LOL Its amazing what some weight loss and some excersize and being active can do for you. Okay.. so I'm going off on a ramble now... LOL I'm in the mood to chit chat now that I have the kids in bed, I guess i should follow suite and hit the sack as well so I'm rested enough to do the Y in the morning! I hope everyone is having a wonderful night!!!!!!! :) GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!

Didn't get many pictures at all..

But here are the pictures I did get ..This is my MIL at the Reception visiting with peopleThe "guys" alot with a General Brad and Lauren leaving the receptionMy MIL and SIL outside waiting to throw rose petals at the newlywedsI'll try and get some more from MIL when she gets settled. :)

Okay to tell you alittle more...

Got Hope laying down taking a cat nap before I drag them out to the grocery store... I had a wonderful time, had some wine and spent a lot of time with my Brother in Law Carey and his wife Jennifer. Friday night we went to a WONDERFUL rehearsal dinner... it was just amazing! it was 3 courses... first you get a choice of soup or salad, and I chose the soup which was this AMAZING Tomato soup (yes i stepped off my diet LOL) Then for the Entree there was a choice of chicken in a lemon sauce, with asparagus and whipped potatoes, or a filet minion or sea bass... I chose the chicken which was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course I had a glass of white zinfandel wine with my meal... well really a glass and a half. :) I never drink barely at all so that was a nice break.. Then for dessert it was a choice of Crème Brulee or Chocolate Mousse Cake... I got the Crème brulee which was amazing! :) The dinner was from 7pm to about 11pm is when we finally left, went back to the hotel and crashed... then Saturday morning got up and had breakfast with the in-laws then hung out with some family in the Lobby.. then about 12 we headed over to the church... It was beautiful.. The ceremony was quick and gorgeous... Then over to the reception... that was interesting to say the least LOL.. they had a lounge singer and the ordure’s were carved and shaped into swans and different sorts of bird... but they were very yummy. I didn't eat much there... I visited a lot with everyone.. .so much that I didn't take many pictures which I am not smacking myself for... oh well go figure right? After that we headed back to the hotel and hung out in the lobby, had another glass of wine and talked to Jonathan's Aunt and her husband... Then met up with Jennifer and Carey and went out to a Catfish restaurant with them... and that was a VERY interesting experience, I felt like I should be in the movie Beverly Hillbillies... I was just cracking up at just HOW country this restaurant was!!!!! But it was fun.. we stayed out until about 11:00 and headed back to the hotel.. I stayed up watching a movie then finally crashed, got up at 6am.. Showered... went out and met the family for breakfast again and then we headed out after breakfast... had a nice time... I will try and post some pictures... we also stopped at the in-laws new home they are building on the way home to check out progress.. its coming along well and I took some pictures I will try and post later :)
