Goal Update!

Well I'm not sure there should be an exclamation point up there because I haven't been doing so well. I still keep finding myself in this funk that I'm not sure how to fix but I'm trying.

I have only 5 more pounds to lose until I reach my pre-pregnancy weight!!! Ya!!! I only was able to workout 3 days last week but that's good still. I was able to drop 6 pounds in the week just by doing a little exercise in the morning and watching my portion size. So here's to another good week...that I have yet to do any form of exercise but I've been watching portion size!

Starting pre-homeschooling hasn't gone well either. I really can't make an excuse because I should just do it but I've been in this funk and it's leading me into vegging on the couch in front of the TV way to much during the day. Add a teething baby to the funk and I'm just screwed. So starting today I'm not turning on the TV! I will only do it at night when I'm nursing and I need to stay awake. Otherwise it's time with my boys and some computer time and book time!

Pilot is mostly on a better sleep schedule. As long as his teeth aren't bothering him he's in bed by 9:30 or 10 which means that I could but haven't go to bed at a decent time! So this is a bonus and hopefully will aid in my goal of waking up early to exercise in the morning!

I also have been doing great on couponing! I have saved my family about 40% of our normal shopping bill by just doing a little research and coupon clipping before I go shopping! I love it and it's so fun! I love seeing all the extra money that is in our pockets because of this! I can't wait until I get better! (I'm hoping soon to share with you what I'm doing but also check out my friends new blog Making Stay at Home Work as she shares things she's doing to make it easier for her to stay at home...she taught me how to coupon!)

So I guess after the first week I have done about half of what I wanted to accomplish  That isn't as bad as I thought. Now its just time to get the rest going on a regular basis.

Time to end this because I have little baby hands that are trying to share the keyboard with me :) I love being a mom!!!!

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends  hair salon .  After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready.    Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking.  My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park.  THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I ...
