It's time!


It's that time.... to shed the weight. Ever since we went on that cruise, we haven't been eating as healthy as we should. In fact... we've been eating ALL junk food for the last month. Gretchen started her "Fat Smash" diet today. She also starting going to the gym again.... FINALLY! She has tried over the past month but has been sick twice! Hopefully it will stay away this time.

We haven't been doing a whole lot. We sent our taxes off to Corey's Dad. Hopefully we'll be getting that next week. It will definitely help us to pay off our bills. We'll be down to just a house payment and truck payment along with all the utility bills. lol Our goal is to try to pay off the truck next year. Then, we'll start working on paying the house off. That will probably seem like forever. lol :)

We've rented about 4 movies in the last 5 days. So, we figured it's time to join an online movie subscription.

This is Corey's last week of working night shift. It's a bitter sweet thing. He starts working straight days Monday-Friday next week. It will be an adjustment. We know... most people don't understand HOW it could be an adjustment when we're the ones going back to the "Norm". It is though. Technically, we won't get as much time together but at least he'll be home every night with us. :) Plus, it helps Gretchen because now she doesn't have to worry about bringing Zach to worship team practice. Although, he is such an angel while at practice. The Pastor even commented on how good he was. :)

Good luck with your diet! I am trying to lose all my extra baby weight. It is a little harder to lose the weight the second time around. My doctor said it is because I am older and am in 30s now. Gee, thanks! I was 28 when Kara was born.

Sounds like you and Corey have some wonderful financial goals. That's great! Setting goals always helps Russ and I. That is how we were able to purchase some of our bigger items without using credit cards.

Thanks for sending Zach up! Tell Corey that even though Kara is having a princess party, I got Zach some boy party favors so he won't come home covered in pink. LOL!
