The Quest

I have tried, half-heartedly, since Mason was born to lose the weight that came with him. Now, it's time to get serious. I bought and exercise ball and band workout and tried it this morning. It was actually really fun. I'm excited to get into a routine and I hope I can keep it going. I justified the money by telling myself: at home, I can do it when I have time, and there won't ever be anyone in my way.... Hopefully that is true. I think I'm gonna try a little sticker chart or something on my calendar so I can see how well I'm doing. My goal is this dress: My mom bought it for me while I was in Utah and it came in the mail yesterday. I'm way excited for it. It's quite different than any dresses I have now so the change is exciting.

Someday, it may look this good on me :S. (And, darnet, i might have to get some new shoes....)

Yesterday we went to Target and got Brooklyn's 3 yr pics. They turned out so cute! I was really bummed Erica couldn't do it, but the girl has a life, ya know? Hopefully she'll have time to do our family photos. Brooklyn's pics are supposed to be available online in 10 days or so; so when they are, I'll let you all know how to access/order any prints. I did the usual bunch; but you never know what those grandmas want -- By then I'll have the pics so I'll get those out when I have them. It's so fun to see her grow. I was watching the photo session yesterday and I was thinking, "Sheesh, how did she get so big?? When did she transform from my baby girl to the big-girl she is??" It's amazing how much difference a year can make.

On another side-note: Jon and I are going out on a date tonight...kidless (THANK YOU, DEBBI). He's even made reservations somewhere! I can't remember the last time! Plus, we've had other offers to watch our kids, so those of you who offered...watch out! I may get addicted! I'm way excited, and can't wait to tell you all about it! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
