Re: AW Thursday

  • Ok Carrie... newbie nestie here... define AW and I am totally in... lol
  • I am finally starting to feel better after a week of feeling like poop.

    I am pretty sure that this week I will be down 10-11 lbs (maybe more) from when I started my diet last month. I am starting to see a difference. Talk about motivation, as soon as I am feeling 100% I will be able to go to the gym!

    ?

    WAHOO! OKAY!

    I got nothin. ?Wedding planning / work / home life... have all been pretty normal recently. ?I suck at my diet and have absolutely no time to go to the gym. ?I am not a beautiful or unique snowflake.

    haha just re-read that and it sounds depressing. ?I am going to go look at my wedding venue online and sing "im the bride! im the bride!" in my head before I go to lunch!!! ?:-)

  • Oh, I'm in!!!
    First, we have a contract on our house in Abilene!!! Yay!!! We've been trying to sell it since Dec, with no luck. In this crappy market, we were stressing a little, esp since we are in Japan and it is sitting empty every month, as we pay mortgage, elec and water bills, a lawn guy....etc. Anyway, we have an offer on it that they are going to pay cash and want to close in 2 weeks. It will basically allow us to break even on it, and we are thrilled about it!

    Secondly, I just have to say (esp to those nesties who have been around a while- like since 2005- with me) that God is good, isn't He? If someone had told me 3 years ago while I was sitting on my couch in Ft. Worth sobbing b/c I was getting divorced after only being married 10 months, that today I would be sitting on the 17th floor of a hotel room in Singapore looking out the window of the city view, married to a wonderful guy, getting the opportunity to live in Japan and travel around Asia basically for free, expecting a baby girl in a few months, and getting the chance to be a stay at home mommy to her, I would have asked what they were smoking! I am truly amazed at my life sometimes, and feel SO blessed! I have to say thanks to those knotties/nesties who helped me thru the rough patches (I had some big ones in there!) and hang in there to anyone else going thru a tough time right now- time is an amazing healer and God is good!!!

    I'm off to shower, find a place to print out, sign and fax back our house offer and wander around the Orchard Street shopping district of Singapore now! Yayayayayyaya!!!!!

    Congrats on the offer! YAY! Good to hear you made it to Singapore - how was the flight?

    Thanks for that reminder - it's always amazing to look back and see the path God leads us down.

  • Hmm...I don't have a whole lot but I will attempt.

    We are telling DH's parents that we are expecting this weekend along with 2 family friends! We want to wait until after we had told both of our parents and the first u/s in 2 weeks to make it public but I can't not share with some people!

  • Ack- it let me quote but  not post. What I was going to say was- have fun telling the parents and friends about the baby. It was exciting to tell ours. We wanted to try to wait until after the dr visit too, but we knew we wouldn't have another chance to tell them all in person, so we just went for it. It was fun to see all their happy faces!
