All you need is love...

All I have to say is, thank goodness coffee is zero WW points! I don't know how I would be able to survive without caffeine with some of the weeks that I've been having lately!  The weather has been awful.. rainy and humid, so we haven't been able to get outside with the kids as much as weld like, so they've been miserable too.  We're still waiting on that YoungStar visit, and everyone is sitting on the edge of their seat and nervous about how the actual rating will go.  I'm thankful they haven't come yet because I've been able to get a few touch ups done in my classroom, but on the other hand I just want them to show up and get it over with!
I just did my weekly weigh-in and I'm down 1.4 lbs this week!  It was kind of a bad week, we ended up getting Pizza Hut one night (who knew 2 slices of pizza was more than half of my daily points?!) and I went shopping with a friend yesterday and we hit up the chinese buffet.  Oy.  So, my goal for this week?  No fast food/eating out!  Pack my lunch for work everyday, and go for walks after work!  Hopefully this humid streak has snapped and I can actually walk outside and been able to breathe!  Shopping was so much fun and I spent way too much money, but Rochester (MN) has sooo much more shopping than little old La Crosse does!  I was able to go to Lane Bryant (they are having an awesome sale on their bras btw.. I walked out with 4 of them!), and they seem to have a better plus-size selection at their Maurices, too.  Someday, I will be able to shop in the "regular" section, but I did find a cute dress that will be cute for the weddings I will be attending this summer and next!
We also went to Francesca's which I thought was an adorable little store!  They had such cute random stuff! I got a frame to put our photos from the photo shoot in, plus an adorable little sign that really fits mine and Cory's relationship to a tee:

Only we have 2 furbabies :)

Photoshoot!

So waaaaay back in like April, I won a free photoshoot from Ashley Oldenburg Photography!  Cory and I finally took advantage of it on Sunday, and Ashley put a few of the pictures up today!  I'm so excited, they turned out great!  Make sure you go check out Ashley's website and her Facebook Page :)

One of my favorites!  Can you believe that's a Wal-Mart shirt?  ;)  

This bridge is on a bike trail in Onalaska... I loved it!

I loooooove my hair when it's straight!

Of course, we had to rock our Packer Jerseys!  I heart Jordy Nelson!

I was trying soooo hard not to laugh in this one!

I am hoping someday soon I'll be able to actually post engagement pictures ;)

Slacker!

Wow, so I have really been slacking on blogging!  Who knows if anyone actually reads this, but this morning I took a little time to catch up reading some of my favorite blogs!
A lot has been going on in my life lately.  I quit my part-time job at the mall so I could focus on going back to school.  I would like to apply to graduate school so I can become a Speech-Language Pathologist, and I need to take about 37 more credits before I can even think about grad school.  I am taking 2 classes this summer (Anatomy and Physiology is one of them, it's kind of kicking my butt!) and I am busy, busy, busy!  I'm still working full-time at the daycare, and we're getting ready for our YoungStar visit.. so my classroom needs to be in tip-top shape.  At least I'm getting a bunch of overtime to get ready for it! ;)

I've also opened up my Etsy shop!  Only 1 sale so far... but I've only posted hats, and I can't imagine too many people need crochet hats in the middle of June.  Hopefully business will pick up this fall!

Today was my first weigh-in since starting weight watchers again.  I weighed in at 320.5 lbs. for a weight loss of 1.6 lbs.  I am still down 5.5 pounds from my starting weight 3 months ago, so that feels pretty good.  My goal for this week is to make a good shopping list so I can cook at home this week and have left overs for us to take for lunch.  I also plan on going on walks right after work.  I have a wonderful walking trail that runs right behind our daycare center.  We always take the kids on it, so there's no reason I can't walk on it before I head home for the evening!


I am looking forward to catching up with you all!
