What We Have Been Up To...

Life around here has been somewhat boring...we haven't done anything too exciting. I finished up school on Friday...the last few weeks of school are always stressful. This year, I had a really hard time seeing my kids leave. I know they are ready for first grade, but I will REALLY miss them; I had good parents that I will also REALLY MISS!

We have been working on finishing up the bathrom-hanging hardware and sealing the shower. Trav has been working really hard keeping our garden growing. We have also been adding plants around the house in the flower beds.

On Saturday, we went to Lagoon with everyone in my family. My parents had a work party and we were lucky enough to be able to tag along.

The only other major thing we are doing in our lives is that we have been on a diet; it is a really restrictive one. However, the results are TOTALLY worth it. I have lost almost 23 pounds since the middle of May. Only two more weeks and then we can VERY SLOWLY start increasing the amount and variety of foods we can eat.

As for me this summer, I am working for my parents 3 days a week in the afternoons. Other than that, I plan on reading, scrapbooking, cleaning, and just having fun! We'll post more pictures soon!

I am so glad you gave me this!! I accidentally left my computer on face book, so yeah, i wasn't ignoring you, I was just at Primary childrens and Uof U Hospital with Nicole for all of her blood tests and "stuff" for her little issues:) She keeps asking me when we are going to have you come do a watch or something, she is too funny!

YaY for you jacque!! Just curious, have you noticed if the weight gain was from your meds, which btw I am so on the same thing as you, so I was starting to really worry that I too may be having a problem soon. but my doctor tried to reasure me that most people don't have that side effect. Anywho, I'm so proud of you guys for trying this....I HATE diets, although I have noticed living out of state (seeing family and such makes it easier not to eat as much?) and not having as many sweets in our house has totally helped me out, although I too would still like to lose a few pounds! anywho, can't wait to see you guys tonight!!! YAAYYY!!! hope all is well and that you get lots of down time this summer, Have fun!
