An update on Things to Come

Hi guys,
Josh and I have many exciting things happening for us in the next few weeks. Here's a little break down:

This Friday, Saturday, and Sunday we're going to Tulsa and meeting up with my friend Kelsey and her fiance, Eric. Expect lots of pictures :) We're staying at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino and will have a blast. Saturday we're all going to Oktoberfest (yes, I have a barmaid's costume :)) and then having lots of fun afterwards. Sunday I am going to a babyshower for my friend Becky and her baby girl, Abagail. Babyshowers make me happy; I love thinking of the future of when I will have one of my own :)


The following weekend- Halloween weekend; we're MOVING! YAY!!! I am beyond ready to move out of this mouse infested dump and when I say infested I mean it. I am totally done with this place and this slum landlord who won't fix anything. The new house is somewhat in the country, 3 beds, 1 bath, and roomy. I cannot wait to decorate and show you guys are new place. But yes, mouse situation is out of control. I will not even tell you how many we've killed in the past 2 days with setting glue traps. It would seriously gross you out. We may be renting a storage unit and moving everything in it so we can get out of this place, then staying with my parent for 2 weeks.Halloween will be so-so this year, I'll dress up in my Robin Hood costume and go to my church's carnival, but that's it.

One the 6th, Josh's Christian fraternity is having a date night in OKC at a yummy Italian restaurant that is my favorite. In the 4 years we've been together, our plans are always booked and we're unable to go, but this year, we are going. Lots of pictures will be posted from this too :)

On the 12th, we have a wedding of one of Josh's fraternity brothers that we're going to in OKC. I have the perfect dress and cannot wait. Usually, we can't both get the same days off to go to weddings, but this time we did :)

The hell starts with getting ready for finals, turning in projects, etc. and worrying if I'll be able to afford to go to college next semester. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I've been cut off from all state funding since I'm in my 5th year of college, so needless to say I owe 900 bucks that I don't have. I am hoping for a scholarship I applied for in the Summer, but I dunno. I keep praying like crazy that I WILL BE HELPED in some way.

So that's it :) Busy, busy, busy and I haven't even started my Christmas shopping lol. I will be making lots of things as opposed to buying as much as I did last year.

Here's some pics from recent date nights for you guys :)

Weigh-In Update

I know, I know... I suck at this! I'll be totally honest, I've fallen off the bandwagon with my dieting and yoga, but give me 2 weeks to get settled into my new house and I'll be busting my butt again.

I also bought a pedometer to track miles walked to get my bonus from work next year :) It's amazing to work towards a goal to be healthier and to get paid for it :)

Here we go:
Measurements as of October 16, 2010:
Bust:46"
Hips:54
Waist:49"

Weigh-ins September 18, 2010:
Bust:43.5"
Hips:52"
Waist:46.5"

I really am not surprised that the numbers went up because I honestly have been so so lazy. I swear, this is going to get a lot better though, because I am not happy with it!

I haven't felt like myself in a few weeks. 2 weeks ago (on that Friday) I was at work when I got a feeling liek I needed to pee. I went potty and had this horrible, pressure in my pelvis region that brought me to tears. It got worse as the night went on and I made hubby take me to the e.r. After answering many embarrassing questions and peeing in a cup, the doctor told me I had a bad bladder infection- a level 3 plus. I had to get a shot in my hiney and a week and a half of antibiotics. I finished up my pills today and it's helped my deep chest cold/cough, but I feel terrible.

Lately, I feel so drained, so tired, and like I have no energy. My boobs have hurt so bad and I have been super nauseated. I'm currently nauseated as we speak. We're hoping it's a little bundle of joy baking in my oven and making me feel like crap, but it's still too early to tell. I took a test Saturday and it was negative, but it was still WAY too early to tell. Pray for us that we can find out in a few weeks if it is a little one for us; both of us want and are ready to be parents.

Even better news; we're moving into a nicer, bigger house in about 2 and a half weeks! We cannot wait!!! More room, in the country, and a great place to decorate and make many memories in. Please be patient with us in the next few weeks as we're packing and going to be settling in to our new home, but we're so excited to share pictures and our love with you guys :)
