Fill in the Blank Friday (a day late!)

1. I am currently obsessed with jersey shore (how am i supposed to get fresh in a bathroom with dirty drawers?!)

2. Today I am excited because I'm going on a date with Randy to Globefish (p.s. it was the most amazing sushi in the world!)

3. The age I am is twenty and the age I feel is twenty!

4. My favorite place is at home with my hubby & cats doing our thang.

5. Something I have been procrastinating is cleaning my house (but I brought home all the cleaning supplies from work so I HAVE to do it.)

6. The last thing I purchased was phone covers for Randy and I.

7. The thing I love most about my home is it feels like a home!

Feel free to do it too, I'd love to read them! I'm also linking it back to Lauren who started it!

Pinterest.

I've been craving to get started on Pinterest but it seems like I'm on the forever long waiting list. I was just wondering if anyone could send me an invite? I will send you something (whether you be close or far!)


Love ya guys!

Love Day!

This was Randy and I's first MARRIED Valentine's Day so I was VERY excited about it!!! (As you can tell from my capital words and lots of exclamation points!) We got all dressed up and we went for our annual sushi and it was so fun! We rarely get to dress up because we don't "get ready" for work since it's both dirty work. I love having a reason to dress up, and we really had an amazing time. We spent lots of time eating our sushi, and then we decided to go walk around Chinook mall. We went into Anthropologie and I got Randy an "R" mug to match my "M" mug I purchased a couple of weeks ago. Now we're goofy matching newlyweds! After we got home we cuddled up in our fort we made for Annaleen this past weekend and watched "Everest" on Netflix. We felt like little kids, and it was just silly to be laying in a fort in the middle of your house when you're adult. I was definitely sad to clean it up today like my adult self would have to do. I only have one picture but it's worth it!


Today I realized that next Monday is our six month anniversary! I honestly don't understand where all this time went! Happy Lover's Day (a day late)!!!

Weight Loss Progress & a little hospital story

So far I have lost 19 pounds!
My beginning weight: 192 lbs.
My weight today: 173 lbs.

I'm so happy to have reached this goal so far! I only have about 3o more pounds to be at my goal. I'm so excited that I've been working so hard and can actually see a difference.

Here's my new body!



I'll have to keep posting my progress, so if I stop then you can hound me on getting back into my routine!

I've had to take a break lately because of a cyst on my neck. It's been really brutal for me. The pain is unbearable so yesterday randy took me to emerge. Turns out I had to have one of the most painful procedures done to my NECK! It makes grown men scream and some people have to be put under. They have me a percocet and I was ready to go. The doctor was really nice and she took breaks when I would cry every once in a while. She said I was super tough, and she was really proud of me. They did have to give me a shot of morphine at the end because it was so painful. So now I'm on percs and so there isn't too much pain.

I have a big bandage on my neck and now I look like Frankenstein! Randy also crashed his car so now we're down to one car. I'd have to say our weekend was pretty crappy. But in better news Randy cleaned the house after I passed out yesterday. I love that guy. Hopefully things will turn around!

Have a good day!
