DIET + EXCERCISE

I am going to try and lose weight. I've been doing excercises, but that alone doesn't work. So now I have to cut out all sugar and all breads. I am going to give it two weeks and see how much weight I lose. Also I am cutting out pop and diet pop. Hopefully this will finally work for me. I am going to give it my all and not give in to sugar or bread! I am also going to stop eating after 5:00 p.m.

Moving

We are leaving in 18 days! Wow this went by fast. I can't even believe it! I'm very excited though. This is going to be a wonderful change for us, and a new exciting adventure. Almost everything is packed and we just have a few last minute things to take care of. We are not sure where we will be living or what job we will have. But we have faith that God has it all under control, He already knows what is going to happen. His plan is all ready, we just have to be patient. But goodbye Minnesota, hello California!!!!

Commiting to a New Lifestyle

OOOkay.. I am going to start writing blogs about the foods I eat during the day and the exercise I do during the day. I want to keep writing a new post about it everyday so I will see the progress I've made. I'm going to give it a month and see if I lose any weight. I am hoping that this works. I am going to try my best to not eat very much sugar or bad carbs. I would LOVE to lose 20+ pounds! I am going to really work at it. So tomorrow is the first day of a new plan, lets just hope I can stick to it this time. Here's a before picture, hopefully the after picture will be alot skinnier! :)

CALIFORNIA

Well, four weeks have passed and Paul will be here in less than 40 hours. Thank you Lord!! I am so excited to see him. I've been waiting for this moment for a month. I didn't think I would miss him as much as I did. I never want to be apart for this long again! I miss my family and friends so much too. I feel like I've missed out on half the summer with them. But I will make up for that when I get back.. Kendra will be sick of me cause I'll want to hang out everyday :) jk...My vacation here has been fun though. We've had beautiful weather. We went to Knott's Berry Farm, Disneyland, the Mountains,the Ocean and Palm Springs. Gavin has got to see a lot of new places, and he has had fun too. He learned to walk about three weeks ago. Now he only walks, he hardly ever crawls anymore. It's so cute! He will be one year old soon, I think I'm going to cry. :( This year has flown by, and I'm so thankful for being able to stay home with him and watch him grow up. But, it will be a happy and fun birthday party!! Yay for summer!

One Week

Gavin and I take off in one week. WOW! I feel like I have so much to do. I just hope Paul can take care of everything when I am gone. We are going to have so much fun though! Things have already been planned out and scheduled! For Gavin's first birthday we are taking him to Sea World! He will LOVE that! I'm so excited! We are going to Disney Land a couple times, which is my FAVORITE! I love Disney Land, it's so much fun! We are also going to go to the beach and to Little Italy! It will be nice for Gavin to get to spend time with his Nonna and Papa. He will love every minute of it! I need to start packing, one week will fly by.

31 Years Old

Today was Pauls 31st Birthday!! I am so thankful for this day! It's really funny because Paul had everyone at his work guess his age, they guessed younger than 25, so Paul let them believe that! haha I guess when he's 50 they'll think he's 40..

Anyway, I'm just so glad for this day, because it gave me Paul! He is such a wonderful man!

We went and ate Chinese food and watched the movie Wolverine! He had a great day and I'm so happy I got to be a part of it! Thank you Lord for my beautiful Husband!

I am soo blessed! I have a beautiful son named Gavin Michael.. The Lord really gave me the desire of my heart when He gave me Gavin. He is created just the way he was meant to be. He is so full of life and energy! He is so interested and curious about everything. I love to watch him discover new things and giggle because he thinks they're neat. The Lord knew exactly what I wanted in a child and Gavin is it! I can be having the worst day ever and Gavin's smile will change my attitude. By giving me Gavin, I understand God's love for us. He loves us no matter what! There is nothing we can do that will change the way the Lord feels about us. How awesome is that! So every morning when I wake up, I thank the Lord for such a wonderful son. Gavin is such a blessing in my life, and I will be forever grateful for him. Thank you Lord!!

I leave for California in 2 1/2 weeks!!! Ahhh I have so much to do..so much to prepare! I will be staying there for 6 weeks with Pauls family. It will be hard to be away from Paul for so long, but I know that Gavin and I will have a great time. I will miss everyone! I feel like there will be many lake trips and BBQ's without me!!!!!! But we'll have to make up for that when I get back!!

Today

Today was a good day! Paul and I got to spend the whole day together with our son. I love days like this! I am so proud of my husband. He works so hard to provide for our family. He takes such good care of us. I don't know what I would do without him. I just thank the Lord for every day he gives us to spend together.
