Analisa 28 months
Abriella 3 ½ months
~Weight Watchers~
I am now down 17.2lbs!!! It is going very well. So I have lost more then Abriella weighs. I think she is about 15 1/2lbs. It is weird to think of it like that. It makes it seem like a lot more.
Scott and I also joined the local YMCA this past weekend. I have been taking step aerobic classes. I did this, years ago when I lost weight in the past. It feels so good to be doing it again. I am looking forward to the outcome.
~Valentine’s Day~
We had a nice day. Scott worked during the day. I took the girls to church, where they were having a Valentine’s Fair for the kids. Analisa got to enjoy some treats and crafts.
I made filets and shrimp. It was really good. Scott and I bought each other the Willow Tree figurines. I got him the father-daughter one and he bought me the mother-daughter one. He also brought home roses for me. It was a nice day.
~My Girls~
Analisa and Abriella, What can I say? They are my everything. They both continue to amaze me everyday. Analisa is not doing so well in her gymnastics class. Scott had the girls Tuesday morning so he took them both there. I was at aerobics. Well, he said she did not last 5 minutes in class. She was just throwing a fit the whole time. So I am not sure if it was because of Scott’s loss of control from having 2 to deal with. I know this was a lot for him. I mean having to go somewhere with 2, oh my! It was his first time he had done that. Or if it was just because Analisa had woken up just an hour before class begun. We will have to see how she is next week. I think this is the last session I will sign her up for. I will keep her in dance class but that is it. Plus the weather will be getting nice, hopefully sometime soon. So that means we can do more outside.
Abriella seems to be growing so much. I have noticed that the 3-6 months one piece outfits, with the fit attached to them, are getting to snug on her. I pulled out some of the 6-9 months clothes. I hope she does not grow this fast for too much longer. Otherwise, I will not be able to take advantage of Ana’s hand-me downs.
~House~
I am happy to report there is some good news here. Well, first of all, the sales lady at the community we want to buy called us. She called to let us know that instead of need 7-10% of the money up front we only need 5k to sign. So we are very excited about this. So we are planning on going February 29th to sign for our new house. YEAH! I am so excited. We put a for sale by owner sign up in the window. I want to get some boxes and start packing some stuff we will not need and get this place in shape to start showing. Once I have done that I plan on putting an ad in the paper for an open house. I just hope it sells fast. We will then be able to live with my parents until our house is done. Which I am hoping will be by September.
I will put the link for our model on my TTM board.
~TV~
Average Joe – who do you think she will pick? I am hoping for Fredo or Jim? Brian annoys me.
My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancé – Oh my gosh, I can’t get enough. I can not wait to see next week’s finale.
All-Star Survivor –Wasn’t that so weird how Jenna knew she had to leave. I could not believe when they said her mom had passed just 8 days after she got there. Ugh!
The Bachlorette – I am hoping she will pick Matt at the end. I think she will be upset with Ian in the long run.
Celebrity Mole – This was the best ending. It was the least suspecting. I was happy to see it was Angie.
~Chicago Get Together~
We have finally picked a weekend. July10th & 11th. If you are interested please email me – RaelynJoyner@yahoo.com
Well, that is hopefully all I wanted to write about for now. I hope you are all well.
