It's been a while since I've last posted but there hasn't been anything too exciting to post about.
Right after our hike we went on, the next day I came down with a bad cold. I'm still trying to get over the coughing stage of it. Now Jaycee has been coughing all day. It's not fun being sick. I blame it on the change of seasons. So all last week and most of this week we have been staying home and trying to get better. We have had some nice days in the high 50's so I was able to go for walks with Jaycee and Izzy and also take Jaycee to the park. I love the fall! Especially when the sun is shining all day long!
For Family Home Evening on Monday we decided to go to the Library. Yes, we're nerdy like that :) Craig has been wanting to get a book to read for a while. It was fun to see Jaycee play in the kids section and pick up all the books. She found a big Elmo one to check-out and has "read" it every day. Craig checked-out The Great Gatsby and finished it last night. I found a mystery book and wouldn't recommend it. The cop in the book has "made love" with at least 3 girls, the F word has been said at least a dozen times, and many other words. I should just go take it back, but now I gotta see how it ends. The book has a series to it, but I won't be reading anymore. I'm up for a good book or author if any one has suggestions?.....
Craig and I have finished our Halloween costumes. With 2 trips to Good Will and $12 later, our pirate costumes look pretty dang good. Here are some sneak peeks....






On another good note...I've officially lost all my baby pounds! Yahoo! I'm going to keep dieting & exercising to try to get off some "wedding" pounds by the time we decide to add another wee-little one to the family. Craig has also hit his goal weight and he only has 9 more to go to get to his "wedding" weight. I'm so proud of him. He has helped me so much to be my partner in this goal. Let's just hope the holidays coming up are nice to both of us :)
And the last good note...there is a light at the end of the tunnel! Our 4 wheeler is close to being paid off. I have been dumping $ at the loan since we moved out here. We've been living frugal so we can get it paid off and working on the truck loan. We're hoping with a good Christmas bonus it'll be paid off and a little extra to our account. We're so excited! I can't imagine what it'd be like to have no...heck only one car payment. Paying the truck off would give us an extra $300/month! I think it's Dave Ramsey who Craig listens to that inspired us to pay debt! I'm proud of Aimee & Kyle too who have listened to Craig's spill about paying off debt and got their signature loan gone! Yahoo! I can't wait.
