I Can't Believe it's August!

This year seems like it has been FLYING by! It's already August and it seems like it was just Christmas! The sad thing about it is summer is going to be over soon, even though it pretty much just got here, and there will be snow falling down here. :( Pooey! I am trying to enjoy the warm sunshine here as much as I can. That's why Chris and I went and layed by the pool today and got a little bit more tan. Yay! Tomorrow is my sister Bethany's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETH! She has the cutest little boys ever, I just want to squeeze them. I miss you guys so much!

My weight loss is going pretty well. I have lost 9 pounds so far in the past 6 weeks.  Counting calories really helps. Even though it can be a pain some days, it's totally worth it and helps you realize how much you really put in your mouth everyday, and most things you don't necessarily need (like that 1/2 package of Oreos. haha). I have been making these smoothies pretty often that taste yummy. I mix a cup of spinach, a banana, strawberry greek yogurt, can of pineapple, and ice. So good! and you don't even taste the spinach! I love it right after my workout. I am going to be trying this product soon. It's from Nodiet.com, and it's liquid protein, and take a tablespoon right before you go to bed each night. My friend Jenn recommended it to me. It's supposed to help with fat breakdown while you sleep. So I am going to try a month's worth and let you know how it helps!

Another exciting thing going on with us is Chris got a new job! We have been waiting for this for so long! Ever since we got married we have been sending resumes in up the ying yang to so many different companies, and nothing ever came from them. But after all that work, something finally happened! He got called in for an interview at Idaho State University here in town, and he got the job! It's a maintenance/custodian job, full time, with FULL BENEFITS! It's gonna be so awesome, and he is so excited. He starts August 20th!

Well, it's my bedtime, so I better go. But hope you all are doing great! I will see you soon. :)
