We have an annual Georgia/Florida party every year (except last year, both of us were in a play at my old church)... We look forward to the event every year and were VERY excited when UGA beat Florida 42-30! GO DAWGS! Here are a few pictures from our party...

Update on the bathroom

So, Chris is still working on the bathroom. He has most of the tile finished and he still needs to grout the shower area. We bought a new window to put in it (I can't say I'm all that happy with a window in the shower, but it's there) Now we'll just have an insulated window, so it will remain warmer in the shower when it's cold outside. I AM happy about that. We also bought a new door for the bathroom. Originally there were these very ugly french type doors (I don't know if you can tell in the before pictures.. but they were U-G-L-Y!) Now, we just have a regular 6 panel door. I'm really, really, really hoping that the bathroom is complete by next Saturday. (Next Saturday is our annual Georgia/Florida party...) We will see...

Also, if you are at all curious about my weight loss and exercising goals (and how they are coming), please check out the Journal link (click on the words or there's a Journal link over on the right).

We're remodeling our bathroom...

We (well, my husband, Chris) are in the process of remodeling our master bathroom. I'm so impressed with his talent. We still have a few things left... tiling the floor, painting, adding a toilet, adding the vanity (Chris built one from scratch), ordering the sink/countertop, and paint. :) But, we have done a lot. We tore out the whole bathroom, including the old tub that we had. We're hoping it will be finished by the end of the month.

Update number 2

So,I'm still out of commission from exercise (BUMMER). I sprained my ankle. Or at least, I think that's what I did. I went to the doctor, he had X-rays done (Just in case), told me how to treat it and sent me on my way (he's always in such a hurry). So, in the meantime, I have to keep it wrapped, which means no fun shoes... in fact, I can only wear my birks. I am supposed to put it up at night (He knows I am a teacher and it is near impossible to stay off of it at school). AND I have to take anti-inflammatory drugs on a regular basis.

I have been eating better. I lost only a half a pound last week, but it's a start. (Plus, I had gone to a wedding and had a few glasses a wine... which is not so good for a diet). This week, I'm doing well. My weight has been down every morning.

I'm still struggling with my quiet time. It's hard to find the time to actually study the Bible...when there's papers to grade, articles to research, Grey's to watch. :)

"Resolutions" Update

So, I feel very good about my "New Year Resolutions" this week. I have had somewhat of a quiet time and praise time in the mornings. I've been listening to praise music on the way to school and it's just a wonderful time to prepare for the day.

I have made very good eating choices all week. (Well, Thursday is my weigh in day, so Thursday night is my *free* meal). :)

However, I haven't been able to get back to the gym this week. I rode my bicycle on Saturday and all I can decide is that I did something to my ankle then. On Monday, I looked down at my ankle and it was 3 times the size that it normally is... and the more the day went on, it started to hurt. So, I've been nursing a swollen/hurt ankle that I have no idea what is wrong OR how I hurt it. But I figured it would be best to NOT do any exercise, especially since I'm on my feet most of the day.

New Beginnings

Okay, so normally, you make New Years' Resolutions in January, right? Well, I need to make some life changes and I'm starting tomorrow. (Tomorrow, because it's 9:45 pm). I figure if I announce my changes I want to make here on the blog... maybe I'm apt to stick to them.

Like most newlyweds, I have gained all my weight that I lost before the wedding. Sadness... and now, since I got rid of all of my "pudgey clothes"... I have a limited wardrobe. So, my first order of business is to go back to healthy eating and LOSE weight. I'd like to lose most of it by Thanksgiving (as we're going on a cruise and I'd really like to wear my fun clothes on the cruise).

My second order of business is to continue working out. I started an awesome workout schedule this summer, but since school has started, I'm having a hard time working it in to my schedule again. So... at least workout 3 times a week.

My other "new beginning" is to get back into a better habit of having an actual quiet time. I am really feeling the loss of that in my life and I really need to get back into doing that instead of being so concerned about my email or facebook.
