News!

Hubby and I have spoken very seriously about me going back to school this year. The university I’m interested in attending has an online program for the degree I want to pursue (M.Ed. in Educational Administration), so it’s totally doable! I absolutely need to have my masters so I can further myself in my career and achieve my goals in life.

On a personal note, because of my love for pretty nails, I’ve started selling Jamberry! I absolutely love the nail wraps – especially on my toes! With over 250 designs to choose from, my head is spinning with what choices to make, and I definitely feel like a kid in a candy store! If you’re a pretty nail enthusiast, check Jamberry out at my Jamberry Nails website! I know you’ll love them :).

And… Last but not least – how am I doing with my lifestyle change? Well.. I haven’t been working out. Like.. At all. BUT… my kiddos at work keep me moving all day long, so I don’t ever sit down or have a moment to relax. I’m on my feet and moving for a solid 8-10 hours a day Monday-Friday. As well as that, I’m still watching what I eat (but still treat myself when I feel like it). I know I’m not eating as healthy as I should be, but a LOT better than I used to before making a change. Since June 15th, I’ve lost 11.5 pounds! I’m so incredibly proud of myself. My family is starting to notice, and their comments keep me motivated to keep it up. I told my husband today, that I really feel like I could be in a bikini next year. As an adult, I’ve never felt comfortable enough with my body to wear anything other than a tankini out in public. The tankini has to be long enough to completely cover my midriff, and I prefer bottoms that are like short short bottoms.. so I can keep myself covered. I’m reallllllly hopeful that I can kick myself into gear again and start working out again so that I can comfortably flaunt my new body in a bikini next year. I guess this blog will help me keep myself accountable. I wrote it for you all to read, so now I have to stick to it, don’t I? (Please say yes! 😉)

Now for baby news…
Wouldn’t it be nice if I had some? All I have to say is that hubby and I are looking into possibly taking out a loan so we can apply for traditional adoption. I want the entire baby experience.. crying, diapers, and all! Fostering to adopt will not provide us with that experience. When we are ready for our second little one, I would love to follow through with fostering to adopt.

Until next time, friends!
