Hair Cut!

I finally got my hair cut today. It was way over due. I went with my best friend Shannon and we both got our hair cut short. I think they cut off over 8 inches. It feels so nice to have short hair once again. What was I thinking letting my hair get that long. It was to the middle of my back, I don't think I have ever had my hair that long in my life. It was nice while I had it, glad it's gone though. We went to a place called the Stepping Stones. It was a really nice place. We had coupons, $15 for a hair cut. Good deal! They ladies were really nice. The stylist that did my hair thought I was 16 years old! She got a good tip. It was nice to have someone think I was way younger then what I am. I think I will be going back to that place again. It was good pampering, even if it was just getting our hair done. Maybe next time we will go for massages or manicures. Here is what I now look like,

I Workout!

Ok, so Jeremy bought me a very very nice treadmill for Christmas (I've been asking for one for a while, so it's not a bad Christmas gift). This treadmill has everything! You can hook your iPod up to it and train with Jillian, Nike and probably Dr Oz, WHO KNOWS! The bad part to all of that is you have to buy the programs, $20 each. That's alright I don't need Jillian to yell at me make me cry while I'm work out, I can make my self cry. I am pretty excited to have myself my very own treadmill. Now it's time to make myself a goal. I personally hate making goals because it's to much pressure and if it doesn't work out then I feel really bad. I'm pretty bad at making commitments, I'm always changing my mind and if I don't feel like going some where or doing something I don't like feeling pressured into keeping that commitment. I know pretty bad, I just like to do my own thing. Any way, I need to make a goal and stick to it. I didn't do very well with my last goal (like I said it's to much pressure). My goal this year is to get down to at least 120 lbs. That is what I weighed after I had Tyra. I would be pretty satisfied with that weight. I am hoping to do this by the summer time or at least before next year. I just need to work hard and stick with it. Now I just need to stop these brownies from jumping into my mouth and other junk food too. It's just hard to talk myself into eating healthy. I have never been a big fruit eater and I am very picky with my veggies. I am opening up to more veggies though. Not tomatoes though, never tomatoes, or peppers! It seems like every healthy recipe has those two things in them. I guess I can just leave them out. Anyway, that is one of my goals for 2012. My treadmill is pretty sweet, so why wouldn't I want to us it. It inclines and declines all on it's own, it has a billion settings and speakers so you can hook your iPod or mp3 player in and listen to music with out putting ear buds in. Not sure how fast it goes, but I wont be going that fast. Now I just need to keep my kids and my cats off of it. I will be having a love hate relationship with it. It will all be worth it in the end. I just wanted to let everyone know that my sister Katie as inspired me so much. She has been doing so good with her goal. So Katie, I am going to catch up with you and then you will have to find someone else to give your clothes to! Good luck to you all on your goals for 2012!

YAY for INTERNET!

Ok, we now have really good internet so I might start writing on my blog. It depends if I can pull myself away from our new Xbox Kinect! That thing is AWESOME! I also have a lot of catching up to do around my house (a lot of cleaning that is). We are starting to get all organized (if you don't look in the room that will soon be our office, I think that's hopeless). We have been living in this house for almost 2 months now. We are doing really well. The area is really quiet (if you ignore the freeway). Tyra really likes her school. We still don't know our neighbors, I guess that's ok. Our yard still needs a lot of work on it, but I think we will have to wait till spring and just work on the inside stuff. We are alive and doing well. We took a nice trip up to Northern Idaho to visit with Jeremy's family for Thanksgiving. It was pretty fun, we had our stressful moments. The girls really enjoyed it. We also got to go see my brother and his family in Sandpoint Idaho. It was good to spend a day with them. We then drove down to the Tri-Cities to see Jeremy's Uncle and Aunt. They have a really nice house, I want one just like it someday. We are glad we are home. We have a lot of stuff to catch up on so this week is pretty busy. I will try to blog more though.

We have moved

I just wanted to let everyone know that we are a live and moved into our new house. We moved our animals last night. They did not like it and I think they do not like our new house. They are country animals, so the big city (well semi big) scares them I think. I will have pictures up as soon as I get a little more organized. I will also be sending out address change cards as soon as I find some I like. I'm not brave enough to make them. We are happy here, it feels like we are staying in some kind of rental house. I'm sure that will all change when we start paying the bill. Tyra likes her new school so far. It is a lot bigger then Base Primary, but it looks really nice. Her teacher seemed nice too. We are looking forward to our new adventure, and hopefully meet new people. Haven't met the neighbors yet, but that's ok. I think we are going to like it here. Words from Shelby, "I Love This House"

Road of Life

We all know that life is a road, there is always twist and turns and objects in the way. Lately our lives have been doing a lot of twists and turns. And it has now brought another big turn.

As you all probably know, we are buying a house. The closing date should be coming up soon and we will be moving next month hopefully. We haven't signed the finally papers yet. It's a big decision one we have been waiting for for a long time now. We are looking forward to owning a house. I'm not looking forward to paying for it though.

This is the house that we are hoping to live in soon! The grass isn't this nice anymore though.

Well, I guess life decided we needed some more twist and turns. We have been waiting and waiting for Jeremy to get promoted with the Guard, he's been and E5 forever it seems like. Well he just found out yesterday that he got to be promoted to and E6! Yay!!! I am so proud of him. I am so glad he finally got it. The twist is, he has been moved to MOSCOW!!! Moscow Idaho that is! So once a month, 2 weeks a year he will making that long drive to Moscow. That's a long drive! He will still have his job at MATES, so that is a good reason for us to stay here. I just think he will get sick of driving up there. So I almost wonder if it would be better to move up there. I don't want to live in Moscow though. There is a place up there where Jeremy could work, it's kind of like MATES. We will probably stay here, but I hope we come to a decision before we sign on the house. I'm sure everything will be ok, with driving back and forth. It's just a lot of driving. Once and a while maybe the girls and I will be able to go with him and see some family that is close to Moscow. Wish us luck!

The Road of Life is always changing!

Back To School

So school started on Wednesday and my body was not ready for it. With the fire on Monday and having to stay the night in Boise, and getting the rest of the school stuff on Tuesday night, no water till Thursday night, and on top of all that my allergies are driving me crazy. So I am so thankful it is Friday today. My body needs a good rest, except we got a phone call that we are to help clean the church tomorrow morning at 8. So forget about sleeping in. Maybe I'll get a nice nap tomorrow, I doubt it. I'm just hoping that the weekend doesn't go by to fast.

WE SURVIVED THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL THOUGH!!!

Out of Order

I just wanted to let everyone know that we are ok. My computer is out of order at the moment do to milk and water being spilled on it. Jeremy has taken it a part and has bought me a new keyboard. So I am using my mom's iPad at the moment to let everyone know that is the reason I haven't updated my blog. Hopefully I will have new keyboard soon and be able to blog away.

I also wanted to let you know that your summer is going well, feels like it's been way to short. It has also been fun and busy. We hope you all enjoyed your summer. This is so long until I can blog again.
