Oh how I've missed you, my blog


Life has been a whirlwind lately. We've been so busy that I have neglected writing down our everyday adventures. So, in the past 2 months, this is what we've been up to.

We've gone to the zoo many times. We've also gone to the park a lot! It's been SO nice to enjoy the few beautiful spring days outside in the fresh air.


We finally got a new couch! This was a pretty big deal to me since I was pretty sick of the tiny loveseat that we have had for the past 4 years or so.

I ran my first 5k! I ran it in 29:07!! It was such a terrific experience! I loved being a part of it.

We had a lovely Easter. I made a fabulous turkey dinner and we enjoyed hunting for Easter eggs and getting dressed up and going to church.


Lily got her very first bike! She was so excited about it!


Benny has started walking really well! He wants to be outside 24/7. His new favorite word is "Dat." He's also finally started sleeping through the night. I can finally put him in the crib at night (sharing a room with Lily)!



I finished the spring semester with excellent grades. I started summer semester the beginning of May and it is killing me! I have two very fast-paced classes. I am so worn out! Then I start another one when these are finished.

Lily graduated from preschool! I really loved the Royal Tots preschool and I'm so happy she had the chance to go there. She's also registered for kindergarten now!
Brian's been able to enjoy a few long weekends with us! It's SO nice for him to finally have a job that he gets to have paid time off! I feel like we see him so much more often. Plus, he's also gotten some new train cars and track! He's been very excited about that!


I've lost 21 pounds since October now! That's about 45 pounds in the past year! I am less than 5 pounds away from a healthy BMI finally! I have also lost about 13 inches in the past year and I can't believe that I may finally get to my goal! My final goal will be about 10 more pounds!
