Time change

The time change is good and bad.

The good: I get to go jogging, walk the dogs or anything outside after I get home from work.

The bad: It's harder waking up in the morning when it's still dark outside. I didn't think it would be but it is. I just want to fall asleep when I see that.

Today is a calm day. I'm at work and then after work I'll be going over to a friend's house to hang out and work out!

It's also Biggest Loser night. I love watching that show. I even love working out while watching it. It's the best motivation I've found.

Mike said he was going to have a busy day. He said he has two tests this morning for qualifications. I'm really hoping he passes! I'm nervous for him. Other than that he's doing good.

Yeah, yeah

I'm horrible at this thing already lol. I really need to keep up with it better.

A decent amount has happened since last time I updated.

Mike did buy the car, the Honda Civic Coupe Si. It's really nice and pretty. We did a lot of changes to the house and stuff we have in it. The dogs decided the futon needed to go and messed it up...so we moved our bed to the guest room and got ourselves a new bed and bedroom set. It's beautiful.

Thanksgiving was good last year. We spent it with friends in a potluck style setting.

Christmas was nice too, we were able to buy each other presents finally lol. I even cooked us a Christmas dinner.

Mike's mom came and stayed with us for a while afterwards and it was quite fun. We spent New Years together, had some drinks and watched the New Years shows lol.

With the new year has brought a bunch of junk. Mike has been going in and out. They're doing several underways to get them ready for the big deployment that is coming up later this year. He is currently gone right now but will return shortly. So we spend a lot of time emailing each other when we can.

The dogs are doing good. Lexi is now 2 and Lily is over 1 now. They definitely miss Mike when he's gone.

I'm about to start applying to Nursing schools again, it's that lovely time of the year, hoping I can get in this time around.

So I fell off the losing weight wagon, imagine that. I started working with a personal trainer towards the end of Jan. I work out with a great friend of mine. Plus the trainer is a good friend too :) I have so far lost 9 pounds. It feels amazing and just so much different than other failed attempts. Maybe because I've worked a lot harder for it this time and it's been about changing lifestyle choices rather than just doing something temporary. We workout with her every Saturday morning at 8:30am. Then we workout every chance we get after that. I have fallen in love with the gym again haha.

Plus once Mike gets home we're going to be changing a lot. He wants to start school and look into doing martial arts again. He's going to start working on his degree and taking online classes. He also will be jogging with me and any other workout to get ready for his PRT.

My friend and I got tickets to see No Doubt on May 22nd!! I sooo can't wait. I've listened to them since I was in the 5th grade! That's going to be a lot of fun!
