Skype!

I officially have a skype! I don't know why I held out for so long, especially being a mil-spouse, but it's a done deal now! Now I just have to figure out how it works and get my family on it! My mom is probably going to sign up tonight and my sis will once she invests in a webcam! Woohoo! Now all I have to do is the my dad and the in-laws in the loop and I'll be golden! Then I can focus on getting some friends on there as well. lol I have a sneaking suspicion though that my niece will be the most fun to talk to! :)

Rain!!

I'm so excited that the seasons are starting to change! I LOVE the fall/winter time more than anything! I love the smell in the air. I LOVE being able to turn off the ac and throw the windows open. The house smells good, I can put out my fall decorations, it's that much closer to Christmas, and I can start wearing sweaters again! So, what are we doing tonight? Hanging out with the windows open, loving hearing the rain, and praying it doesn't flood! :) Today has been a great day.

My Daddy

Throughout the years my family has had it's fair share of ups and downs. To be perfectly honest, we've had more downs recently than ups, but I'm not going to keep count. :) Through it all, my dad has been someone I could count on. We always had an extraordinary relationship thoughout my childhood and that has continued into my adulthood. We're very much alike and always enjoy spending time together. As soon as I got my acceptance letter from Baylor my dad owned just about every piece of Baylor gear possible and hasn't stopped since. He's always been my biggest fan. He even has a bumper sticker on his car that says "My son in law proudly serves in the Air Force". I mean, how cool is he? I'm SUCH a daddy's girl.

Anywho, Dad decided he wanted to see me and drove up here (4 hours) Thursday night after he got off work. When I got off work and walked out to my car there he was! I felt like a 5 year old running across the parking lot to hug him! We stayed up until about 2 am talking and catching up until our eyes couldn't stay open any longer. We spent some time together Friday morning with the hubs and just had fun for a few hours. I was so sad to see him go, but it was such a treat to see him for a bit. I'm lucky to have a dad that would drive 8 hours to see me in shorter than 24 hours and not complain for an instant. :) Love my Daddy Boy!

Making Goals

Whelp, here I am again trying to get back into the swing of blogging more often! This time what's on my brain is the goals hubby and I are setting. Currently we're about to start attacking our weight. We recently were given the P90X dvds and with hubby having knee surgery not too long ago, it was just never a good time to start it. Anyway, hubby's physical therapy is doing him a world of good and I'm tired of feeling the way I do about my body... and so is he. So, Sunday is the day we start that journey. I'm ready to be fit again and to feel good about the way I look. Although the plan of attack right now is to wait until we're closer to being in Texas to have kids, I still want to be at my goal weight before having a baby. I'm so sick of the way I feel, it just has to change. I have about 20 pounds to lose to get to where I want to be and I don't think that's unreasonable. If I lost more, it'd just be an added bonus.

Anywho... have any of you ladies ever used P90X? We skimmed through a dvd a few days ago just to see what we were in for and I think it scared me more than anything. It looks suuuuper tough. I'm definitely worried, but I just HAVE to do this for myself. PLUS hubby said if I get to my goal weight, I can go on a shopping spree for new clothes. He certainly knows the way to motivate me doesn't he? :)
