Happy December!

So, I'm kind of bad at this blogging thing!  I would love to have time to blog every day, or even every other, but darn retail job will keep me busy until after Christmas!  I just keep thinking of how awesome my paychecks will be!

First up, weigh-in day!  It was my "recovery" week after Thanksgiving, and I am hoping to be awesome for these next few weeks so I can be doing well going in to Christmas.  This week, I'm down 2 pounds for a total weight loss of 7 pounds.  I can't really tell that I've lost weight yet.. so I'm looking for a way to begin working exercise into my schedule so I can keep kicking butt!

Cory and I got our first Christmas Tree today!  I've never had a live tree before, my family only had an artificial one growing up, and last year, we just had a little one that I bought for my apartment when I lived alone. I plan on taking that to my classroom and putting it up, hopefully our kids will leave it alone!  I also found a bunch of window clings at Wal-Mart to decorate with, and a co-worker is giving me a ton of decorations!  I'm excited to start collecting things, because some of the girls have been teaching for years, and have beautiful decorations that I really can't afford right now.

Here is our tree!

I love our tree!  It was only $15, I had no idea trees were so inexpensive!  I have a bunch of ornaments that mom gave me from when I was growing up, and a few that I bought myself.  I'm not quite ready to put the breakable ones on yet, because I'm not sure how the kitties will react, but they have been very good so far!  It smells soo good in my house, I am loving it! :)
