Weight Loss Update

So not much has been going on in this department. I went to the doctor today and have only lost 2 pounds in four weeks. I have not felt any restriction for awhile so I was expecting it. I got an adjustment today and am back up to 5cc. Unfortunately I am a little sore...she missed with the needle :( It happens but not too often. I wanted to go in for an adjustment earlier but with starting my new job, I haven't focused to much on my eating habits(fullness, amount, etc.). My job is going great! I am really enjoying my new co-workers and I am glad that they have such a great sense of humor. I couldn't imagine sharing an office with people who didn't.

So that is all I have got for now! I am off to go have dinner with my Hubby tonight and enjoy his company since I have hardly seen him for eight days. Check back soon for more updates!

Wordless Wednesday

Today at my new job I learned...

That when all the world is ridden with TB and is coughing up nasty stuff....I'm covered.

That's right...I have my own, personally fitted for me, TB mask. I am basking in your green envy!

Thrifty Thrift Store Finds

Hubby and I are gathering things to decorate our new house, which we hope to close on in July. We are trying to be as conservative as possible so we are keeping our eyes open on our local thrift stores. Here is what we found just recently.

We found two identical nightstands that we refinished. I thought they turned out pretty great! Thanks hubby!


A pottery piece that we will use in the living room.


One of my friends is in Africa right now so I am been visiting with her mother. While I was there, she let me see some of her beautiful blue glass. I was able to find two pieces at the thrift store. So blue is the color for the kitchen!


A blue vase for the kitchen.


We found this set for $6!! I think the kitchen is covered!!

Sorry about the quality of the pictures. I don't know what happened with that!

Happy Father's Day

To my daddy! I love you so much and we really enjoyed spending time with you today!!

Last Lunch with My Ladies

Tuesday was my last official lunch being apart of the HOPE Program. I gave the girls their bags and some other things as well. I am sure going to miss seeing their girls everyday.

Pretty Ladies on the way to lunch!!


Showing off their bags!


Sara loading her bag with toys already!!

To the girls: We need to make lunch a monthly thing...if not I will start to have HOPE withdrawal!!!

We got our Iron on!!

So I had been preparing for my last lunch with my ladies and I had this great idea to get them bags for their toys with their names on them. I searched all over Trussville and found the perfect bags in four different colors. I called my mommy-in-law and asked if she could embroider their names on the bags and she said that she could so I dropped them off with her. Fast forward a couple of days, GG(aka mommy-in-law) calls me to tell me that the bags are to thick to embroider. Okay, no need to worry just yet. With that news, we both set out to find new, thinner bags. After about 7 or so stores the only bags we found were really ugly. We formed a new idea. Iron on! So I headed out on Sunday to GG's house to get our Iron on! Here are the pictures!

The starting product...

GG doing her thing!


The design she came up with. She is pretty talented isn't she!


Our trial run...it is a good thing that we did that trial run...OOPS!!

My job, pull the bag as tight as I can to keep the foam from warping. Seeing as how that was my only thing I could really help with, I did it well. But really, we literally held our breath through each one for fear of messing it up!


The finished product!!!

Thank you GG for doing this for me! They turned out so great!!!
