Remember Me?

.... Yeah I barely remember me either.

But on serious notes, I really do want to get back to updating this blog. It used to be so therapeutic for me and God only knows that there is enough going on in my life to earn me some therapy moments, amiright?

So what's been going on, you might ask? Readers digest updates right here....

1. Hubs lost his job in October for some ridiculousness at the shipyard (phooey). Spent 4 months looking (nonstop, 8 yrs a day every.single.day) for another job, found one, only to be let go 2 weeks later (thanks sequestration!). So yeah... fun times.

2. Hubs is, however, only about 13 weeks away from finishing his bachelor's degree! Yay! Super excited on that front.

3. As of today, I have lost 13 pounds this year, which brings my total since I started Weight Watchers (the first time) in January 2011 to 41 pounds lost. I now weigh less than I did when I got married! It may not look the same, thanks to the Syd-monster, but we are getting there. Props where they are due right?!

4. Speaking of the Syd monster... This girl is growing.up. Such a joy and an enormous challenge wrapped into one. 2 years and 9 months to be exact. The daycare that she had been at for about a year and a half closed (traumatizing for Mom), but we luckily have seen the silver lining in her new school, Barefoot Kids. It is a Christian based day school and WE.LOVE.IT. A million times better than the old place and I am so upset that I didn't find this place first.

Here was Syd today...
As I added that picture I found this picture which was apparently March of last year...
Mind.Blown.

I won't let as much time pass before my next update! Happy First Days of Spring (bring it on Mr. Sun)!!
