Toy Story 3 preview

I know two post in one day! But I saw

and I am so excited that it is almost here! The first movie that Jim and I watched was Toy Story at my apartment. Man that seems like forever ago. Anyways I thought y'all would enjoy watching this clip.

Milestone Reached

When I started on my losing weight kick, it wasn't only about my weight I wanted to teach and show Bailee how to eat and be healthier. Well, today I went to my meeting and I have officially completed one of my goals. I wanted to conquer this goal before I went to Texas, but I didn't. Instead of thinking that I had failed I kept on going, knowing that I will get there. I am proud to say that I have officially lost 20 lbs. starting at my heaviest. And I have a 0 in the middle of my number. My ultimate goal is to have a 1 at the beginning of my number by my birthday! And I honestly can't see how I can't achieve it by July!

I am still running, however I have been sick with allergies and haven't run in 5 days. I am hoping to get back to it by the end of the week. The 5k is going to be here before I know it!

Friendships??

I am having a hard time being someones friend. I know that she is going been going through hard times, but I feel that she is just reaching out to me because of who my husband is and she needs a new person to listen. Now, please don't get me wrong. I don't mind when people wants me to listen to there problems, but don't just contact me only when you have drama in your life. I want to be their friend during the good and bad times. Not just during the bad.

So does this make me a bad person, that I feel this way?

I have had a hard time making friends here in Missouri. And the handful of friends that I do have I cherish! I hope that they know that I would do anything for them.

15 Years as a Missourian

I can't believe it but 15 years ago today, my mom and I loaded up her car and we drove to Missouri. I was offered a territory in Rolla, Mo. and was truly excited about my new life. And what a life it has turned out to be. I thought I would be in Missouri for 3-4 years and then transfer back to Texas, well it didn't work out that way. I met Jim in 1997 and you know the rest. I believe that I will live the rest of my years here in Missouri. but Texas is where my heart is.

Our first Picture in Blue.

I had mention in a previous post that it is a tradition to have your picture taken in the Blue Bonnets. So when we where in Texas the flowers were in full bloom. So Bailee and I climbed up the hill of a highway and had our picture taken. I was so excited! I also got some with my nephews. And if I can ever figure this out I will post them as well. It is amazing how much they all 3 look alike.

I Gotta Feeling

While I was in Texas I kept up with my running! Even though I didn't have my running buddy, I found a new buddy, my Walkman. (Chrissy, it will never replace you!) Bethany sent me 2 CD's of running music, so I downloaded them and some other songs that get me pumped up or inspire me.

So the first morning I was in Texas I got up thinking it was 6:30 when actually it was 5:30, miscounted the ding dongs on the clock, I got my walkman and ran 2 miles. Which I thought was very ambitious of me due to the inclines in my mom's neighborhood. That morning after my run, Tina texted me making sure that I kept up my running! Thanks Tina, you have no idea how much that meant.

There is a song that is by the Black Eyed Peas, "I Gotta Feeling" that gets my blood pumping, I mean I get so pumped up that I start running before I am done with my warm up walk. I love to sing even though I have been asked not to ever do it in public again. I can't help but sing this song at the top of my lungs. I love it and want everyone else to love it too. I find myself almost dancing in the street at times. Do you remember the friends episode that Rachele and Phoebe went running and Phoebe was running all crazy with her arm flinging everywhere, well that is me! Really! I promise you will get a good laugh! I have to listen to that song as soon as I walk out of the door and during my cool down.

I promise pictures of Bailee really soon, I am waiting on some from my SIL. The picture with all the flower, was taken by my cousin and where I am from!

What is happening?

I wish I had the energy to write something interesting, but I don't. So these are somethings that are going on.

I have been very concerned about some of my friends lately. I have several of them going through personal struggles. I just hope that they know that I am here for them and to listen to them if they need me.

I also have been very stressed out! We are trying to sell our house. And would love to get a contract on it by the end of the month, so that we can take advantage of the tax break. We have been cleaning, decluttering, and fixing things up. We found a house in town that we both love! And if we sell ours by July it was meant to be, I am trying really hard not to get my hopes up. But I really want this house. But if we don't get it, then we are still happy where we are!

I am looking forward to Thursday I am getting my hair done. I have decided that I am getting a perm. I haven't had one in years. I am really excited!

I am also getting things ready for a yard sale on Saturday. It is that time of year again. I really don't think I will have much out mostly clothes that Bailee has out grown.

I am still running almost everyday, but I haven't been running as long as I probably should. I really need to kick it up a notch.

Bailee is finally out of the stage, where I thought I had the devil child. She is so lovable! And I hope that she stays that way.

So that is about all that is going on in my world. So until next time...
