So...

I haven't lost or gained anything this week.  I say this is because I was not exercising.  I am finding it harder and harder to get up early.  And during the day there is pretty much no good time to get moving.  I did walk, yesterday, to the school.  But the good news is my husband is getting on board even more than I imagined.  I thought he said yes to a friendly competition just to make me happy.  After he lost 2 lbs just not eating junk he really jumped on board. Yesterday he suggested we go to bed earlier and he will get up with me and exercize!!!  He also asked me to pack him a healthy lunch everyday!  Trust me this is big.  He works an awful lot and stays busy from 8 am till about 8 pm.  All week he worried about turning his work into exercise. =)  I am proud of him and excited that he is willing to help motivate me a little more. 

On some more exciting news.  We started the process for buying a home this week.  Oh man am I far beyond excited.  My BIL is an awesome realtor.  I am glad we have someone we trust helping us out!  We did things a little backwards and already found a home we LOVE.  We saw a couple and then BAM!  This house is perfect for us.  It has 5 beds.  Its 3000 sq feet and a super great price.  Its 1.28 acres also.  Its far enough out to be country but close enough I don't have to drive an hour to get to town.  Its closer to Joe's work and still in a good school district.  It also has an unfinished basement with tons of possibility.

The scariest part of this whole thing is the loan we are going for takes a while.  =/  So I'm nervous I will get my heart broken.  But this loan will save us a lot of money.  Anyways, I am just excited to get the process done.  I am so glad we finally get to own. I will be doing lots of praying.  Praying that we do get the right house, praying that we are patient and understanding throughout this process. And thanking God for my BIL  who is truly great at what he does! 

I have been talking about some of my goals and haven't written them all but thought I would share some now.

1.  Buy a house.
2.  Buy a calendar and put all friends and families birthdays in it and send a card to everyone next year!
3.  Write a thank you card once a week for a year(at least).
4.  Not yell for 7 days.
5.  Do something sweet for my husband everyday for a week.
6.  Exercise 5 days of the week for a month.
7.  Make 1 craft a month for a year.
8.  Set boundaries with certain people.
9.  Have alone time with each kid once a week for a  month.
10. Read my bible everyday.

This is a tenth of my goals.  The ones that say for a week, for a month, for a year, my goal with those is to make a habit for a lifetime.  I will share more soon and mark them off as they get done.
