#2 for the New Year

Can you believe that I am blogging twice in one day??? Me neither! :)

Today has been real great. I was able to sleep in . . . again . . . and was able to chill with my sister, run some errands, made pizzas and cookies and have done other things around the house. It's been a good day. :)

Have you ever just sat and watched tv all day?? I usually don't do that but I have really had my share this week. I have been watching HFTV al ittle too much and have been looking at real estate and jobs everywhere (don't worry we are not moving or anything any time soon, not until after we get atleast one kid popped out and believe me that is not for a long time, too) and I really want to buy a house in Alaska!!! I have been looking around Seward and Anchorage, for both jobs and houses, and have been getting really excited. I know, I know, I get to excited sometimes but I love to dream. :)

Well, Karl and I are both not really going strong with the whole losing weight thing but I have been working out atleast 3 to 4 days a week, so that is a good start. I have lost 10 pounds since November- only 25 pounds to go. It has been so hard to buy clothes lately. :( I am hoping that my experiences during the break really encourage me to keep working toward losing the weight. There is that and Karl also told me that if I lose all the weight he'll buy me a Wii, so we'll see how it goes. :) Maybe Jim will beat him to it. :)

Have you ever seen Up from Disney? It is probably one of the most sweetest Disney movies that I have ever seen. I cried and laughed and just really loved that movie. Well in the story Carl and Ellie have an Adventure book where Ellie puts pictures of all the things that her and Carl go throughout their life (as I am typing this I am getting teary eyed) so I decided that I wanted to do that for my Karl. I went and bought a Memory Book from Hobby Lobby and have it all ready to go to do the cover of the book and, together, we have been figuring out what we want to put into it. I cannot wait 'til it is done (well, up to date atleast, we all know that we will have many more adventures). We are both so excited about it.

Well, I better go get the hubby up from sleeping. He had a hard time falling asleep today so I know he is going to have a rough night tonight at work. :( I wish he didn't have to work at night. Our schedules are so flipped flopped that it is hard for me to be motivated. During the day when I am at home and he is asleep I want to be with him so I end up sleeping in late and not being motivated then when he does get up at night I don't want to do anything but be with him. :( He needs a new job. :)

Well, here I go. Night all!

If this happens one more time . . .

Anyone know a good cell phone service provider? This is the second time that we worked with someone at AT&T and I am about ready to switch providers. We went in there today to get my phone moved to Karl's plan, which we had to get a form filled out by my mom (well, kinda :), it helps when I can sign like mom; it's not like I didn't have her permission) in order to do so. We walked in and talked to this guy, gave him the form, and we thought that he understodd what we needed to be done and he just started going. We got to the point where I would pick out a phone and he started getting stuff ready and I re-asked him, after he wanted to know what number I wanted to use for it, if my phone was now on Karl's plan and he just went crazy on us. Basically he said that we never told him that that is what we wanted. He was very rude, basically saying that it was our fault that he did all this work for nothing. It was very disheartening and I really wanted to tell him to forge...

New Journey . . . Diamond Club

What does it take to make a diamond? Any ideas? According to Wikipedia, you know the source for all things, a diamond is "formed at high temperature[s] and pressure". Karl and I are excited to announce that we will be taking part in journey. A journey that will, hopefully, push us to Diamond. It will take a lot of work but we are excited for this opportunity for our team. What is Diamond Club? Why is this so exciting? Maybe this video will explain it better. Diamond Club creates a great opportunity for EVERYONE! It allows Karl and I to travel to areas that want to grow and also allows for new members to receive additional products with their enrollment and subsequent LRP orders. Free stuff??? Yes, please!!! It really is a great opportunity for everyone on our team. We are looking forward to the immense growth that will happen because of this wonderful opportunity. So you may be asking, how do I get involved? What does this look like exactly? Basically we...

Writer's Corner Number 8

Typed from written Journal Entry: I thought I’d change it up a bit and try writing in journal form tonight. I am also curious to see the difference in length of writing for both writing formats. Dr. Semingson suggested incorporating pictures into our journal writings/posts. I don’t have any pics from growing up – they are all at my dad’s house in Michigan – but I can start adding new pics from Alaska, especially when it comes time to talk about our honeymoon adventures there. Today I want to start by talking about earthquakes. I want to preface this “talk” with a story from when I moved to Texas. Not long into the start of my 7th grade year we practice emergency drills. I remember one of my teachers talking about what to do in case of an emergency: crouch down with your head near a wall and cover your head. I remember thinking that getting near a wall wouldn’t be the safest thing in the world but I didn’t argue – I didn’t know what that emergency drill was for. Now that I’m olde...
