Biggest Loser!
Alright so I haven't been a huge fan of this show, though I feel it's fantastic that instead of setting up the 'hottest' people they can find; someone is addressing a real problem for our nation in these reality shows. Anyway I like plenty of shows on NBC and the other night noticed biggest loser had just barely started so I thought, why not I'll watch a bit, and I am hooked. As I listened to their stories I felt like most were telling my story and I knew I could do it. I have had a goal to loose weight and it has had many mixed results, but I happened upon the two books of theirs that I wanted to buy in Smith's of all places and decided this was too good to pass up. I bought them and started reading I finished the first one in a day. The second I'm about half way through. I went shopping for the meal plan for the first week, I was so excited and started the 30 day jump start today. I'll keep you posted on how I'm doing but it's only a weekly weigh-in system. Wish me luck I'm going to be the Biggest Loser. Seriuosly I am going to look freaking hot!

3 'You gotta blog about this.' Posts
So over the past few weeks we have had a few moments that we have deemed must blog moments. So here they are.
1) Nate's schedule has been switched up for a month, so he works Saturdays and has Wednesdays off. So we have made Wednesday lunches our date time. Well this last Wednesday we decided to go to The Smoked Apple. And it was soooooooo good. I sat there eating my delicious meal and we realized that we were so glad we decided to go there, with their melt in your mouth meats, and a wonderful selection of sides... I highly recommend their fries, fantastic! They also had apple beer which we loved. And for a heaping plate of food for each of us buying the extra fries and both getting drinks it was only $22. Now granted that is not our normal date of maybe $9 by going to del taco but for a really nice meal it is way better tasting and priced than most sit downs.
2) For the past little while Nate and I have been watching LOST, not the last season but from the beginning, neither one of us made it past season two before we decided we would only watch the incredibly slow moving show once we could watch the entire thing, so now we have started knowing that we will reach the end about when this last season is over. Anyway last night we were asleep (I don't sleep to well because of my back and hip problems) So I was pretty awake when all of the sudden Nate calls out into the night, 'I gotta find Walt...(then mumbles) I should have been the assistant captain.' I started laughing and wanted to know if he was awake so I asked him, 'Nate are you awake?' 'Yeah I'm awake' 'Did you really just say that?' 'Yeah I did' 'Okay' Then this morning I asked him if he remembered talking in his sleep, he says no, I actually slept incredibly soundly it was awesome. I told him what he said and he goes, 'We're watching way too much LOST.' Bwahahaha.
3) We just received a new calling, we will be going on our ward handcart Trek in June. When we first received the call(we're over historical like pictures and stuff) I was so excited. Then I thought of the best joke to play ever... Lately as most of you know I have been getting a lot of pressure to start a family, yes we get it we've almost been married for two years, and yes we are 'old', anyway Julie has REALLY wanted me to get pregnant so as a fun little joke I gave her a call and this is how the conversation went:
Me: Hey Julie, Nate and I have an announcement.
Julie: Oh really?
Me: Yep we're going to be a mom and dad.
Julie: (with contained glee) So how far along are you?
Me: Well we're going on our ward trek in June. (I think she thought I said around our ward trek)
Julie: Well luckily you won't have to go on that.
Me: No we're going to be a mom and dad on our ward trek in June.
Julie: (With sudden realization of what I'm saying) this is the stupidest phone call!
Me: (laughing uncontrollable and trying not to pee my pants)
Julie: No seriously I am so mad at you right now. You had better go upstairs and get knocked up, goodbye. *click*
It was incredibly fantastic and I seriously laughed for 5 minutes afterwards. And that is all. I hope you enjoyed our stories.

coupon Info
For the ladies in my ward (and anyone else) I am finally getting these sites up for you. Sorry it's taken me so long.
Savvy Shopper (Daily Herald)

Target
Smart Source Online
Red Plum Online
These are just a few of the sites, don't forget to bookmark them, or you can always come back here for the links. :)
I also was wondering if anyone would be interesting in doing another class. We could pick an evening and do it at my clubhouse where I would have internet service and I can show you how to use the site. It would be a little longer and more in depth, but anything to save a little money right? If you would be interested just leave me a message and I'll try and get something together.

Darn Lazy
Sometimes I just struggle. Right now is one of those times. I feel I am not doing everything that needs to be done... and not because I can't accomplish it but because I am too darn lazy to get off my butt and do it. I feel there are so many things I should or could be doing and I'm wasting my life away because I am too darn lazy. I'm sure everyone has these times and I am not alone. I just need to find some new inspiration to make me get up and do it. I mean I know what I want to do and what I need to do and I am just so darn lazy. Alright enough complaining.... I am getting up and going to get done what I want and need to do. :)

Thanksgiving
Well Thanksgiving has come and gone and I truly do love this time of year. For the third time in a row I participated in Black Friday and ladies, I must say, it has gotten a bad wrap for no reason. I mean yes large crowds and there are a few crazies but you get those on normal shopping days too. For the most part I have seen people be helpful and kind. Telling each other where the best deals are, hanging onto something for you when they saw someone else putting it back. People are genuinely nice and I love it. I got a Bosch and I baked bread for the first time and it turned out wonderfully!
I am so grateful that Nathan and I have both been able to keep our jobs during this rough economy, and we are able to afford our lovely home. I am also grateful for my loving husband who has taken over the dishes and the laundry (seriously he's awesome) because I have felt so overwhelmed with everything on my plate. I know I don't blog and I haven't gotten to see many people lately, so I just want to say thank you! Thank you for being understanding, and thank you for being willing to come to a BYU game so I could see multiple people at once, even if I was so tired that i couldn't hardly visit with anyone. Thank you for understanding that I still love and appreciate all of you even when I can't see you very often at all. I feel like I'm going crazy because we rarely find time for friends and so when we do it's usually a party because we would like to see as many friends as we can at once.
I'm very grateful for my Heavenly Father who continually reminds me of my worth, and for a loving husband who will snuggle with me and let me cry when even I don't know why I'm crying. The past few months have been hard for me, I definitely overbooked and wasn't prepared for what I was up against, but it is starting to ease and I feel life will start to get back to normal. So again until that happens thank you for understanding and for being supportive of me. I really appreciate all of my friends and family. I will eventually figure out my schedule and be able to spend more time with you all.
