Going on Vacation

Brian and I are off on Tuesday to California. It still hasn't hit me and Brian still keeps thinking we are going to Florida. I will have extensive trip reports when I get back. It is going to be a trip of a lifetime!

Does anyone even read this blog?

Michigan Sucks!

Well it happened to me as well as many others in the Detroit area (including Brian). I lost my job. I guess this means it is a good time to move out of the state. Now I just have to figure out where to go!

We are still going on Disneyland trip in December. After the year I have I think that I deserve it!

Apple Picking

This year we actually picked apples. Last year we went to Miller's Big Red and just ate junk food and bought some apples that were already picked. This year I was determined to pick my own apples. Brian is feeling well after getting all 4 wisdom teeth out, so I thought we could go and enjoy the fall weather.

I Published!

In J.D. Power and Associates terms that means my report is done. You see those commericials with the awards. Well I did one for Primary Mortgage Servicer. There probably won't be a commercial for my award because it is about mortgages. Tuesday starts the next one, that I am in charge of, which publishes in October. Now I have some time to focus on working out and I get to go to the grocery store. We haven't shopped in over a week and there is no food in the house and we have been eating out way too much! I hope that everyone has a good Labor Day weekend!

Here we go again...

I am trying it againg... To lose weight. I recently found out that I am insuline resistent. So now I am on medication that will help me lose weight. I just have to start eating better (those darn cookies). I also need to get my butt moving. Brian and I took tennis lessons over the summer so we have been playing. And we have been on lots of walks. So I am getting active slowly. I will keep everyone posted on my progress.

Long Time, No Blog

Sorry everyone for not being diligent on the blogging. Since we moved we have been settling in. We still have some things to put away, but I am confident by the time that winter arrives I will have everything in the house and not sitting in the garage.

In April we went to Florida (yes, again) for 11 days. It was so nice down there because Spring didn't hit Michigan yet. It was warm, but the humidity was low. It was good to get away after the big move, and it was right before my first report publish of the year. I did get a bad case of food poisoning, thank goodness it was towards the end of the trip.

Summer is in full swing and Brian and I have been busy! We are in tennis lessons right now. I will let you know how they go. We also got me a new bike, but I have to work up to actually riding it. But we have been taking walks in the neighborhood behind us. So I am getting some exercise.

On the sad news front. On Friday Brian was laid off. They said it is an open door, but we don't know for how long. So basically he is looking for a new job. So say a prayer that he can find something, and something soon.

Our Big Move

So we officially moved into our new place. We technically moved in on the 2nd, but we are cutting our square footage in half and are still moving things.

Over the weekend we rented a U-Haul and made a trip to the storage unit that we are renting and a trip to the condo. Thank goodness for Brian's parents. They have been helping us the last two weekend. Hopefully this weekend we can remove the rest of the items out of the first house. Plus I still have boxes and boxes of things to put away in the new place.

On a happy note we are vacationing in Florida again. So April 11th-21st I will be in Orlando, I just can't get enough of Disney!

I will be sure to post picts of the new place once I take some!

Happy New Year! Belated

Hi All!

I hope that everyone had a great holiday! December went by quickly. It helps when you spend a week in Disney World. It was a great time. We got to see Sheri and all of the Christmas lights all over the parks. This year we went down with Brian's parents. That was an adventure. But the weather was nice the entire time and we had fun!

On another note, Brian and I found a new place to live. We will be moving at the end of February. We will be renting a cute condo in Rochester Hills. Once we move in I will be sure to post some pics of the place. I am sure the boys will find it smaller than the last house, but they will live.
