What are you looking forward to this month?
I cannot believe it is already February! I am still writing 2011 on everything.
I am looking forward to our Singapore and Bali trip, helping my parents house hunt here in town and hosting a Valentine's party for F's playgroup.
Re: What are you looking forward to this month?
I'm driving down and surprising my (almost) 4 yr old niece for her birthday party. She keeps telling G that he's invited to her pink cowgirl party, but she doesn't know we're coming. I haven't seen her since November, and I haven't met my new nephew either, and I miss them like crazy.
Other than that, it's a pretty slow month for us.
-- Getting some home repairs done (lame, I know).
-- Hopefully getting some stuff ready for the upcoming JBF sale in Sugar Land.
-- More good Dave Ramsey influence.
-- Losing more weight. 34 pounds down so far...hoping to make it 41-42 by the end of the month.
-- Short, 1-day offshore trip with a photographer to get some pictures of some of our rigs. I am half terrified and half excited. The walk from the helideck to the main part of the rig scares me senseless. There is just a set of narrow grated stairs and two handrails between me and some deepwater. Add the height factor in and I will need something for anxiety.
-- Seeing KIMMER!!!
Lots of work things going on
My nephew is coming... any day now, yay!
working out and getting some relief for some foot issues I've been having
- Half Marathon that I'm going to rock
- Hitting the 30 lbs weight loss mark
- Having a week where I don't have to run
I'm still writing November on everything. I get the year right, but it's always 11/XX/12. Weird.
My sister & niece coming to visit. Haven't seen my sweet little niece sine July!
Finding out if my sister's new baby is a girl or boy.
I'll find out if I'm pregnant or not. Looking forward to it either way because I am not taking anymore drugs for a while. We're taking a nice, long break while we figure out if we continue IF treatments or if we're going to pursue my dream & adopt.
Giving DH his birthday gift this weekend (we got him a Wii, I am selfishly so excited to use it!)
Natalie's birthday party (she requested a surprise party, I can't wait to see her reaction!)
Not much else, really. Each month that passes is a month closer to August, when we move back to Houston!!
my photography blog
OMG, you rock! Can't wait to see you this summer...you're gonna look even more smokin' by then!
Looking forward to...
working out more and losing more weight
Running a 5k on the 19th
Taking a first time home buyers class with DH and getting this process started!
Trying new recipes that I found online
Maybe taking a few days off to spend time with DH and chillax
Crossing the -20lbs mark this month (only 3 more to go).
Hitting my goal to run 50 miles this month - I did 41.97 in January.
Us, too! Lame but awesome.
New bedroom furniture for us and for the boys, who will finally be in one room which will also help us get their crap out of the living and dining rooms.
- Oldest DD's varsity choir singing at the Aero's game tomorrow night. First hockey game for any of us.
- Making something from Pinterest for little DD's class for Valentine's day.
- Throwing a going away party for my sis and her family. I'm not excited that they are moving (except for planning a trip to Maine in the fall!) but I'm excited to put together a surprise party for them.
- Two more races. One with lots and lots of friends and followed by chicken and waffles!
- A girls day with a trip to a winery for lunch and a Passion Party that evening.
DH's birthday is in a few weeks, so I'm looking forward to that. We'll probably go out to eat the week after, since his b-day is the 13th...I try to avoid too many days close to that since places jack up prices for Valentine's day.
We're doing a lot of stuff to the house and hoping to list it the first week or so in March. The work & decluttering is actually very therapeutic.
I'd love to say that I'm also looking forward to Cooper outgrowing this not-sleeping phase and we'll go back to "normal" but I really am not crossing my fingers on that.
- Abby's Birthday
- Moving the girls into a room together and closing out our storage unit for awhile
- 5K with friends

beau being for only 1 wk this month b/c they're doing a shift swap!
- Starting Country Western Dance Classes tonight. Gonna get some exercise and maybe learn a few things!
- Making the final decision to put my house on the market and find a townhome up in Montgomery/Woodlands area. Finally making that step to move forward with my life and move on. Hard to do when you are still surrounded with memories that just won't go away.
- Trying to find someone to team up with to do the CitySolve Urban race. Having a hard time finding someone to do it with me. I think it will be so much fun, but so many people have other commitments.
Looking forward to just making it to March 5th when we are DONE with nationals season and I can finally breath a bit.
besides that I have some fun work coming up I am really looking forward to.
The rest, to be discussed at a later date.
