Home Project!

Since we got our house the number one thing I have wanted to fix is take out the nasty carpet! Well on Sunday Shane got the idea that he wanted to change the carpet too! So on Monday we headed to Lowes...




Here's the basket full of our goodies.




The not so nice carpet... Those are some of Hucks bones we found about 15 under there!




Carpet ripped up!




Shane hard at work!












I LOVE it! It looks so much cleaner and opens the space up! Shane still has to do the trim but it is already a huge improvement!

Hopefully we can do the living room and hallway soon!

Girls Weekend

I have had really fun weekend! I had to work on Saturday morning then headed to Tulsa to hang out with Madison and Jennifer! We went shopping till the shops closed down!




Here's Madison modeling some super skinny jeans and her new Toms :) her legs are super skinny!

After we went shopping we went and visited my dad in the hospital he had lapband surgery on Thursday and has been throwing up ever since so they readmitted him on Saturday and he should get to come home tomorrow!

Later we went and watched the movie Soul Surfer. It was a great movie that focused on how God can give us strength through any tragedy... I recommend this movie highly very inspiring.

Today we went to church at NewSpring Assembly and it was a great service, had a yummy lunch at Santa Fe, then headed to Mounds to play with Madison! She made us take camp Maddie! She a tough drill instructor ;)




Me and Jen waiting for our next task!

I love spending time with these girls wish it could have been longer but some one needed his mama!

Weight loss month 3!

Well this month was really rough going! From the end of February to really two weeks ago I kind of fell off the wagon... I was still exercising and walking just not as much and with no real motivation... I think it was Jaxx's birthday, spring break, family visiting whatever it was I'm mad at myself about it!

My jeans are getting looser Buying a size smaller in shirts! I really do feel the best I've felt in two years maybe even the best I've felt before our infertility journey started! That folks is God! I thank him every day for waking me up and watering my weary soul.

Pic on right is me at 223 on the left is 215.8












January left now right









Still training for 5k consistently running it around 50 min. By race day want to be running it in 45. We joined a gym this month so I've started weight training and elliptical. My goal for this month is be at least 210! Happy losing :)

Weight loss month 2!

I'm not so thrilled with my weight loss this month I have lost 16 lbs total so an average of 2 lbs a week even though I lost most of that in the beginning.

But now for the highs this Month! I got back in last years jeans and know I look better in them then I did last year! This is the really big victory dance moment... I went to get remeasured for my bridesmaid dress, I had went sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas and was measured for a size 22w dress... This time I was measured for a 16w dress!!!! I couldn't believe it! I did a little dance right inside that bridal shop :)

I had lost 4 inches around my hips! I have lost 13 total inches in two months! So even though I didn't lose very much in terms of numbers I feel like the 16 lbs I have lost finally vanished from body! So yay!

These pics are from January 6, Feb. And March




I told Shane it's like my belly is going upwards and he said that's called shrinking :) well whatever it is I like it!!!


I'm still doing the lose it app, tae Bo, shred it with weights, but I have recently started couch 2 5k app since the weather has been nice if all goes well may run the 5k in Woodward this June!
