We're coming up on the end of September already, can you believe it? The weather is more fall-like and getting chilly already. Although I guess the weather is like this on a cold day in summer. I feel like I missed summer, probably because I worked full time this year and didn't spend as much time at the pool.

As a little tribute to summer I thought I would post these pictures from Labor Day. I had the day off so I took Kayley and Cole to the water park.

Random Thoughts

Is there ever really a day when I wake up not exausted? I was convinced the clocks were wrong this morning when I got up and it was pretty dark.

Katie and I have been spinning at the gym and while I love the energy it gives me most of the time, today I'm dragging. I forgot that I used to mountain bike in click in shoes so I got them out and used them last night on the spin bike! If you've never spun(?) before you should try it. 60 minutes of sweat and feeling the burn. Awesome.

Our house is looking so nice. We got curtains for the living room last weekend and they make a huge difference in the way things look. I'll take a video to post soon.

Starting tomorrow I'm going a whole month with no Facebook, just to reduce the amount of things my brain has to process. I'm overwhelming myself with things I don't need to be worrying about. I'm neglecting my Bible study times but make plenty of time to update my status. Not cool. So adios Facebook for a little while.

Humpday

I wrote this post last Wednesday and I'm too lazy to change any of the wording.

Hey look, it's humpday again! I survived the weekend and half the week so far. If you came in contact with me at all recently you would probably would have killed me due to my extreme crabbiness and intolerance of people's ignorance and stupidity. I must say I've had a crappy couple of weeks. Props to my husband for not making me sleep in the guest bedroom.

Besides having a physical and emotional breakdown, my life isn't that interesting lately. Although, I did have a giant black bug like creature that jump from the desk behind me onto the floor and scurry behind my desk the other day. I definitely did not try and get rid of it by turning my space heater up really hot. Smoke 'em out I always say.

Both kids are doing well in school. Cole is having some issues adapting to school life but I'm pretty sure he will improve as he settles into the routine of things. Here are a couple pictures from the first day:

See Past What It Seems

I have to admit that lately I've been the grouchiest person on the planet. I can't give you a reason why but in case you're wondering, no I'm not pregnant! I had begun a blog post at the peak of my crabbiness yesterday and planned on posting it today. But then I came across a blog post that a friend posted on Facebook. It really touched me and softened my heart a little and I chose to post about this instead. If you have the time, click here to read it.

This week I reached a goal I've been working to for a long time: my 10% off! It's crazy to think I've lost one tenth of all the weight I was carrying. I've got to say, it really feels great. My total weight loss at this point is 15.2 pounds. I have 1.6 till my goal weight! I still don't know what I'm going to do to reward myself. I would love to get a facial. Yes, I think that's what I'll do!

See this little guy? This is Ryan, our new little nephew. He was a whopping nine pounds at birth and is a chunky monkey! Do you see how much he looks like Noah?

This Riley guy turned two months this week.

I'm very much looking forward to this three day weekend and date night tonight with Tyler!

Happy Friday!
