a little CRAZY??? maybe so!

So a few minor things have gone on over the last week. First off, after working out our budget, we've been able to set plans to travel down to Idaho in August. It's not as soon as we had wanted, but it's the soonest time that we can go down due to finances. We're SO EXCITED to go back...it's been WAY too long!) We plan on going down in the middle of the month. We have a lot that we have to accomplish by then, but we're super excited. We hope to spend a lot of quality time with friends and family.

SO...I have to say that I am REALLY EXCITED for next Christmas. YES...I am fully aware that it is pretty much ONE YEAR away but Jenny...Anea and Ione are going to be here....YEAH. It's going to be a blast. We're already planning it out. We're excited to be able to spend Christmas this year with them.

Ok, so it's been a little over a week since we've started our new life style, and I have to say I'm totally proud of us. We've been eating salads for lunch every day, we're having a lot of veggies EVERY night for supper, and having 2 healthy snacks during the day. It was a bit hard last week because of course we were HUNGRY, but I'm not feeling as hungry this week. I can feel a difference already in my body and I know that I've lost weight, and Richard feels the same way. I didn't weigh myself prior...because I don't want to FOCUS on the "number", I want to focus on getting HEALTHY. That's the goal, and we're sticking to it!

Richard and I LOVE to watch the Biggest Loser and 3 seasons ago we found our favorite contestant. Now, he had more weight to loose of course than Richard and I but he inspires us, so here's to Michael...we want to get healthy, just like he has.



Cheers everyone, and have a GREAT NITE!!

You go girl! I'm trying to get healthier too. The amount of sugar I eat is outrageous! We watch biggest loser too...faithfully. We love to make the turkey chili they always talk about and the sweet potato fries. Hop on over the the 24-hour fitness website for the recipes. Yum-E!

Magrath Days...

Well, as usual I've waited a long time to post something. Nothing really new or exciting has gone on, so I use that as an excuse I suppose. OF COURSE it's not a good excuse, but I use it as one none the less. Yest., was Magrath Days, and it was super fun! The parade was great. We sat with my parents and the Towells. After that, we had a nice lunch at my parents house, where everyone in the fam. was their. I was able to participate in something really fun in the afternoon. Back in November, 2008 our young womens class did a time capsule where we wrote letters to ourselves. Our teach at that time, also made a video of us during one of our activities. I must say, I was SUCH A DORK! But if that's the worst thing I can say, then I'm doing pretty good right?! Anyway, it was fun to read the words that I hoped for myself. Unfortunately, I didn't say much. But there were a few things that I did say, like : always treat others kindly, always love my family and sta

Six Months...

I sure wish that I was better at this...but here I am 6 months later...oops! Well it was a super busy summer.  We put off doing any renos in our house and did outside renos.  Our project this year was taking down our old fence, and putting up a new one.  We unfortunately didn't get everything else done that we needed to. I'm sure we could have gotten the other projects done if money (which seems to ALWAYS be the problem right??!)   hadn't have been in our way! But oh well..I'm thankful that we got as far as we did.  This past week the weather started to get super cold, so I think that we're outta luck for finishing up anything else for outside this year. I am really excited.....because this is my favorite time of the year.  Richard and I make our Halloween Costumes every year(at least this is the 4th year) and it's been so much fun. This year we're dressing up as Mario and Princess Peach.  It's going to be great.   So we've got that on the
