Some exciting news....

I started a new job recently working at an elementary school in the office. I am absolutely LOVING working with kids, parents, just being in a school environment is such a good fit for my personality. The teachers and staff I work with are really nice and have made me feel so welcome. I do miss some of my coworkers from my previous job but I am much happier in the position I'm in now. Today was the last day of school before Halloween. It is so much fun getting into the festivities! I'd better watch all the sweets though, everyone kept leaving cupcakes, candy, cookies, cards, etc. on my desk ! We even have free breakfast / lunches every Friday. (Every friday a different grade level of teachers and office staff bring in food for the entire staff - so cool!)

Some other exciting news......


Christian has been competing more frequently now in skateboarding and is doing very well. We had a competition last weekend. We had a lot of fun watching all the kids skate.








Christian was so excited to get his very first skateboarding trophy and surprised to find out he not only took 2nd place in his competition but he also won best trick!! It was an exciting day for us! =0)

Still going strong!

I haven't missed a day yet of exercise. Since 8/17/09 I have gone walking every single day. I've lost 11 pounds so far (possibly more, I didn't start weighing myself until my bday on 8/27/09). I am now counting calories as well as exercising. Every week or two I try to add a little more into my challenge and so far it is paying off! I'm so excited to see the changes in me! =0)I weigh myself every Thursday and it's almost time to do my monthly measurements cause I am certain I have lots a LOT of inches. People have already started to notice a difference which is very motivating! I'm glad I started this when the weather was still nice so I had enough time to get this to become a habit. It's been 1.5 months since I started and I'm still going strong! GO ME!

My Birthday Trip!

I decided that for my birthday this year we would go on a trip. We took Christian, Sammy & Gabby to Venice Beach / Southern California for a couple days. The weather was super hot, and we had so much fun seeing the sights!

A new healthier lifestyle.....

Can I really do this? I am going to challenge myself to be more active / eat healthier / make better choices when it comes to eating and exercise. My co-worker invited me to go walking after work on 8/17/09. It kind of jump started my decision to make an effort to exercise every day. We'll see how I do. I'm really hoping I can stick with this!

A night for the hubbys!

I planned a night out to a local Go Kart racing business for our husbands. They are such good sports about our 3CMG get togethers and all the picture taking we do, dressing up for whatever theme the event is, I wanted to do something fun for them. So here are some pics from our fun night out. Us girls just hung out and watched the guys get their race on. They guys had a lot of fun and we went out for dinner afterwards. Very fun night! Thinking we should go back there soon and us girls could race too! =0)

Up when I should be sleeping...

Grrrr! I'm up with a bad headache. I should be asleep as I'm going into work earlier today because we leave this afternoon to pick up Christian from camp.
The week went by fast! I can't wait to see him! Here are some pictures from Sunday when we dropped him off!

NYC Digi Scrapbook

I recently took a trip to NYC for the first time. My girlfriends and I went to see the sights and visit with an old friend. I made this digital scrapbook album to send to my friend to remember our trip and thank her for letting us stay with her....
