Family time

It's been a very long time since I've gotten on this thing.

As far as weight loss goes I've now lost a total of 39 pounds. I'm pretty darn proud of my hard work so far. I hope to lose a lot more in the time to come.

Since the beginning of December I've been on a road trip. I wanted to go and see family around the holidays. So my first stop with family was at my Aunt's house in New Mexico. That was really nice just relaxing and getting to spend some time with her. Then after that I went to Mike's mom's house. I really enjoyed seeing all of his family and having one on one talks with his mom. Then after lots of driving I finally made it to my parents' house. I've been here now a month. I leave in two weeks to head over to Dallas and pick Brandi up. She's been nice enough to ride back to CA with me. I did not handle the first part of the trip alone so well. I really can't express how happy I am she is doing this.

I've really enjoyed my trip here. I got a gym membership to make sure I don't gain any weight on the trip. I have loved going, I go at least 5 times a week and sometimes twice a day :)

Another great part of the trip is spending quality time with Mike's son Perrin. He is just an amazing kid. I have had him so much on this trip and I love every minute. I will pick him up again this weekend! Even better Mike and I are planning a trip back here together later on. I know Perrin will love spending time with his dad.

I'm pretty excited, I've been reading The Lovely Bones. It's a great book so far and the movie comes out this week. I plan on going with Heather and her mom to see it. I really hope the movie is as good as it looks like it will be.
