Marching into July!

It's really pathetic... the amount of empty promises I always make! I swore to add some pictures of my house... never happened. I swore to post more... Yeah.. that didn't happen either..

I'm a bad blogger!

I guess I just blog when I think about it. Sorry if there is anyone out there in the world that watches this blog...

It is now almost July (tomorrow is the first day, actually) and I am right smack in the middle of my first semester at my new school - an actual university! I have been attending a local community college since 2007 and I finally transferred over to Kennesaw State University. Only a few of my credits transferred with me - which is kind of upsetting - but if I stay on the fast track then I should only have a couple of years to go until I get my degree.

Our house is doing great! We've been here for 6 months! Isn't that awesome? I will have pictures up soon, but you can always check out my flickr and see what I have posted there.

Our girls are good.

Our relationship is sound.

And our attempt at getting pregnant is.... non existent. Which, is OK with me. I've become very college oriented lately. I'm ready for a baby if God sees that it is the right time for us, but I'm also not as baby crazy as I have been. I hope that we're pregnant by this time next year.

My struggle with losing some of the "extra baggage" (as I like to call it) has also not been going so smoothly. We stopped dieting and haven't been exercising either. BUT - we will be starting our lifestyle change after the 4th. This will also assist in the above goal.. ;-)

So that's the quick and swift of it...

Coming along...

Slow and steady wins the race (I guess!). So far, we've been getting things done around the house at a moderate pace. Things are slowly getting in order and rooms are being completed. We've painted both bedrooms upstairs, the "MAN" room/cave, the office and the laundry room (ek!). We've also finished the upstairs guest bathroom and just need to finish hanging pictures in there. I am going to be doing some spring cleaning (ie. throwing away things that should have already been chucked BEFORE we moved) next week, so I will share tons of pictures of the house then.

We've also gotten a new friend..........

Meet Bailey!! :)

She's our new kitten! You can check out tons of pics of her on my flickr account. There, you can see pics of her and our doggies having lots of fun together. I swear I'll add pictures of the house soon and, of course, more pictures of Bailey!

Hello to all of my fellow swappers!! :)

I haven't been blogging much lately, but when the move settles down I will most definitely show this blog some more attention. Thanks for stopping in and checking it out while it's a work in progress! :)

Always,
Heather

PS: YES, WE FINALLY GO INTO OUR NEW HOME!!!!!!!!!!! :) Pictures to come very soon!

House!!

Ok...

Originally, DH and I were planning on getting a pre-fab home. Which, is really just a fancy word for a trailer. I'm not saying that a trailer is bad, but we've both lived in a trailer and think that it's just not for us. We also had a horrible time finding land that wasn't surrounded by crappy "pre-fab" homes. So, in early November I found a real estate agent that helped us get approved for a mortgage within 24 hours. We looked during November and found that there are too many homes out there! lol.. In the beginning of December though...

WE FOUND A HOUSE WE LOVE!

Needless to say, we're closing on it by the end of the month (if it doesn't get pushed back again). I've been pretty busy with packing and getting ready for the new house, but hopefully I will have a few spare moments to check in here.

I'll write soon!

Ch-ch-ch-ch.. CHANGES!!

So, much has changed (again) since my last post. We've (hubby and I) have kind of done a complete 360-ish from where we were and where we were heading..

1. School - Going GREAT! We are in Fall Quarter (my 4th and hubby's 2nd) and things are going good. I've lightened my load a bit and I'm only taking 3 classes, but this is still considered full time.

2. House - We've been approved for a mortgage and found and awesome prefab home that we love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're working on finding the right piece of land (boy, this is taking a while!) and should be moved in before Turkey Day, if everything goes well.

3. Baby - Nothing yet and I can't say that we've been trying either. We're both kind of on hold with baby making. We both still definitely want a baby, but we're hoping that once we move into the new place we can get started in multiplying our family. This is on hold - momentarily!!

4. Weightloss - We're going to skip this category, for now, because I'm a slacker and haven't really done anything productive in this area. I will, however, be working on this before, through and after the holidays. Stay tuned!

5. Changes - Firstly, I have a job! I've been working nights delivering the paper. It's a weird job with weird hours, but it's allowed me to continue going to school full-time and help DH with some extra money toward the house. Secondly, I've restructured my goals in school. Instead of finishing my associates degree at the school I'm at, I've decided to transfer early to a local University and go straight into working towards my bachelor's degree. I'm excited about this and I'm waiting to hear back from the college about my admission status. Total, I'll have 2 1/2 years to my bachelors, so yay!! :)

Whoa.. I just got a mad dizzy spell though and that's weird for me.

I'm super tired tonight too, so I'm going to go to bed for now and hopefully update tomorrow. Goodnight all around the blog world!

PS~ Fall....... (MY MOST FAVORITE SEASON) IS IN REACH!!!

Nearly 6 months gone..

Hello Blog World,

I haven't been the devoted blogger I thought I would be. My BFF was mentioning blogs in a conversation a few days ago and I thought, "Hm... I should blog!!" So, here I am! I've been really busy with school lately. I'm finishing up my second quarter of college in about a week and a half. I have been doing great, but I've been super busy! I took (hopefully successfully) 5 classes this quarter!! I'm doubling up and taking the most that I can so that I can graduate next spring. I have another 4 quarters to successfully complete, but I think I'm going to reach my goal! I know I can, I just need to get re-motivated! I've started to get a little burnt out, but I know that comes along with taking 5 classes!

As for the rest of my life... It's going! DH and I have been working on saving up and buying a house.That is slowly coming along... DH is starting college this summer. So, some of our savings is going to be drained for books and all that jazz. We haven't started working on having a baby yet, and I know we'll probably push off our TTC date to later down the road. Our original date was July 1st, but that seems so soon! With DH starting school, myself going full time, saving to buy a house and everything else life throws in the mix, I think we're a little overspent right now. I wouldn't be upset if it happened out of the blue, but I don't see us "trying" anytime soon. This will give us the time to get into this new schedule we have going and prepare our lives a little better for a baby. Our 1 year anniversary is in September, so I'm thinking that maybe we'll start trying then. DH will have been in school for one quarter and I will only have 3 left.

DH is completely on board for trying now, we would just have to rush moving into a new place before baby comes. I'm kind of on the fence, because I want to do what is right for all of us. Like 70% of me wants to just throw everything to the wind and start trying and see what happens.. the other 30% keeps telling me to wait. I really want to lose some weight before pregnancy, and let's just say.. that hasn't been on the top of my list until recently. I am definitely starting a diet Monday and we'll also be exercising on a daily basis. WE = DH and I. So, maybe when I've shed 30 lbs I'll be more ready for baby.

I want a baby more than I think anyone can understand. I'm just unsure if the timing is right. When will be the right time though? Who knows... I'm a woman. I have the right to change my mind on the next post! lol. Stay tuned for that....

A Quick Hello

Hello!

I haven't had much time to post on the blog lately. I will try to make it more of a priority! I promise! :)
