Life Is Crazy!

It's a baby! I found about a month ago that I'm pregnant, this will be our second child. I'm excited but not the same as the first time. The first is always exciting because you know, it's the first. I don't think I would have been so excited if I knew I was going to be deathly sick for the first 6 months. Did you know that I lost 28lbs when I was pregnant with Dylan? I only gained 2lbs from my first weigh in to my last weigh in, all because of morning sickness or in my case, morning, noon, and night, couldn't keep a glass of water and crackers down sickness.

As much as I wish I could lose another 28lbs with this baby, I'm affraid that's not going to happen with morning sickness. I'm very lucky this time around, I really dont have any morning sickness all, just a little in the evening. So, if I want to lose weight, I get to do it the old fashion way, diet and exercise. Yes the thing I use to do all through high school with my 4-5 hour drill/dance practices. Well, I never dieted, just straight conditioning and dancing.

I couldn't hurt to lose 30 to 35lbs, I'm a fat cow lately! So tonight I'm getting on the eliptical for an hour at the gym to start with, and then I'll bring weights in once I get into my groove.

So, on top of being pregnant and wanting and needing to lose 30-35lbs., I just found out last night that Jeremy has decided to go back to school to get his MBA. You heard me correctly, back to school. I was very surprised seeing that he hasn't said anything about it for a while and then all of the sudden he has a completed application for Westminster and starts in the fall. Best thing about this, Goldman Sachs pays for all of it! No more student loans!

So coming this fall, I'm going to be a single mom for the next 2 years, pregnant, and going to the gym all by myself. Gotta say that's going to be exciting!

I'm really excited for Jeremy, he's talked about doing this for a couple of years now, so I'm glad he's decided to take this challenge and get his MBA.

Oh, did I tell you I love the 4th of July!

MY Favorite Holiday!



Finely it's getting closer to my favorite holiday, The 4th Of July!!! I love the 4th of July and also the 24th of July, even more than Christmas, always have, always will!!!

Why is it my favorite holiday you ask? Because you get to get together with your family and relax (unlike Christmas where relaxation doesn't exist). There are fireworks, BBQ's, Parades, and HEAT, HEAT, and more sweltering HEAT!!! Did I mention that I love the HEAT? I just love July all around and of course my birthday is in July, so that's another plus!

I like the colors and the patriotism, I mean, the whole nine yards! Everything about the 4th is awesome!

Jeremy on the other hand, hates the 4th of July, he does not like crowds whatsoever, heading down to the parades aren't that bad, but fireworks (especially the 24th), well that's another story. Don't get me wrong he likes the patriotism, but would rather stay at home and chill with the family and friends and stay clear of the crazy mobs.

This year we're going to go to all the festivities, we're going to go to the Bountiful parade on the 3rd and later that night we're going to the fireworks. Then the next morning we're going the the Magna parade (I cannot not go to the Magna parade), head to my mom and dads to chill by the lake and relax, play around, and BBQ with all the fam. Later in the evening we're going to head over to my mom and dad's friends house just down the street to attend yet another BBQ and watch fireworks, let me tell you, they know how to do fireworks!

I hope that I can get Jeremy to go to the 24th fireworks this year, last year was the first time since I was probably about 5 or 6 that I missed the 24th of July and it was torture!

I'm so excited, now I can officially start getting ready for the 4th without feeling like I'm a few months early!
