Almost 2014

Seriously where did the year go? Wow.  I feel like I blinked and 2013 is done.  This year has been a busy year for us.  Travel. Baseball games. Travel to baseball games. New job.

Things are going good on the job front. It's a lot of work but I welcome the challenge. It feels good to have a lot to do.  I like coming into work and feeling challenged on a daily basis to think outside the box and come up with new ideas.

Christmas was good. We went up to see Grandma and J's family.  Ash and Wrigley loved opening up their presents. In fact, they loved opening up everyone's presents.  Lilly mostly hid from the tornado that was Ash and Wrigley.

Sunday I will be 35. Wow.  I certainly don't feel 35.  As I type this my Mom is on a flight to see us.  So excited for that.

Two weeks from today we will be on a plane to Miami. Whoo hoo!  Can't believe the cruise is almost here.

Great news!

I've lost 8 pounds! Wow. I'm super excited. I'm starting to notice a change in my body and I'm loving it. Today I put on a pair of pants I bought that were normally tight.  They were loose!  It's really nice looking in the mirror and seeing positive changes.  I've been really good at watching what I eat and going to the gym.  I've been more conscious of portion sizes and eating mini meals throughout the day. It's amazing what little changes can do.

Next month is our cruise.  A year ago when we booked it seemed like January 2014 was so far away. now it's next month!  I can't wait to go on the cruise. See the crystal blue waters. Ahh. So exciting.

Monday I start a new job.  After 8 years at my current employer I'm leaving for a job that's more aligned with where I want to go in my career. I'm excited for this new adventure. The new job is about 15 minutes from my house so no more hellish commute for me!
