from my kindle
Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. Jordan is starting to like his job more. Cole is looking for an apartment. And I'm excited about getting my new tattoo..I'm nervous too because I'm a whimp about the pain but I just keep telling myself it will be worth it. My cousin and her two boys came to town over the weekend. The family had a cook out. It was fun..Cole goes to the cataract doctor this morning for a consultation..I'm going to the mall and get my free panties and buy a bra..then over to Sam's for groceries..My sister-in-law Danielle has been taking this diet pill called Meizatang and in one month she has lost 15 pounds. I ordered Jeff and I some..it was supper cheap, less than $8 a bottle. I hope it works for us. At least it's cheap if it doesn't. Well that's all I got , hope everyone is doing well.

post vacation
9 loads of laundry, $400 in groceries, and gained 5 pounds...
Today we start that cucumber flush.. I made it last night and it has set out all night long. Jeff took some with him to work and I will begin mine after breakfast.. I really like the honey and cin. I hope I like this water drink as well..I'm not exercising today, but I will start tomorrow..
We need a new computer, well maybe not need but want.. I want either a Kindle Fire HD or a an IPAD. The kindle is cheaper , but its smaller. The ipad can have a keyboard if need be and since I want it to pay bills off of I want a keyboard (I think). I want my own device also so Jeff kinda freaked out about that.. I don't think he will do it that way.. I just hate the computer room so much.. I only come in here to blog and pay bills.. thats why I don't blog that much.. This is Jeff's room and its gross.. He is a pack rat and never puts things in its proper place.. When we first got married I discovered it was best to just let him have his own room for his clutter.. I used to clean up after him and throw shit away.. big big mistake..So now I just try to only come in here once every two weeks..
okay back to my want... I was doing a comparison to the two and the kindle will do almost everything that the ipad does, but its $300 cheaper.its also smaller and it is not the 'everything' tablet..If we go that route with us doing away with a desk top computer we also have to buy a wireless printer for Jeff's work stuff, so thats an added expense..I don't know what to do..
I'm looking forward to the 26th, I can't even remember the last time I saw everyone.. which is so stupid seeing as we live so close and I don't do shit..I miss girl time, the only girl I talk to on a regular basis is my mom..
I'm looking forward to and not about Jordan going to work.. I also have to get him into drivers ed.. When he gets his drivers liscenes and car I will look for a job.. So I have about another year of staying home.. yes he is late on learning to drive , only because he didn't want to learn..I know strange, but thats Jordan for you.. He is excited about going to work so thats good.. The boy never asks for anythig like ever.. I always always have to drag it out of him.. He hasn't had a new phone in 2 in a half years.. I have been asking him if he wants to upgrade and finially yesterday he decided to get a new phone..I asked about why my phone didn't work on the trip and they just said each phone is made differently blah blah blah.. and I can't get a new phone unless I pay regular price since I just renewed in November...Thats not happening unless I buy one somewhere else and to be honest I would rather get a kindle or ipad..My phone is fine here in Texas and I'm not leaving the state again for a while so I will just hang on to it..
Well thats all I got, time to get out of this room..

We're back
We had an absolute fantastic vacation.. Not one bad thing happened.. Thank you God!!
Well I did discover that my new Evo that I got in November sucks on road trips and I should have went with an iphone, but hey how often do we go 4300 miles..it doesn't make any since.. Jeff , Jordan and I have the exact same plan. Jeff has an iphone, Jordan has a 2 year old Evo and they both had internet access the whole trip, me NO!!! I only had internet when we hit Washington state line.. I am seriously thinking about giving my phone to Jordan and getting an iphone..
The weather was perfect the whole trip.. it was between 70-80.. we did go through one supper small rain shower, but it was more like it was just spitting on us..
We did something every single day, so even though we didn't eat very healthy we did tons and tons of walking and hiking..
Today I have to go put money that we didn't spend back into the bank and go to the grocery store, then I have about 50 million loads of laundry to do..I am so happy we only spent half of what I had saved for us to take on vacation.. I'm thinking ipad :)
Cole was to look after our garden and he really didn't do it.. He just watered.. I guess thats better than nothing.. I went out there this morning and got 12 huge I mean huge zucchini...and tons of cherry tomatoes..
Jeff and I along with our honey and cinnomon drink are going to do the cucumber water flush that I posted on facebook..plus I found some new exercises for toning that I'm going to start.. They look hard, but I'm going to just do what I can..
Got Jordan an application for Wienerschnitzel. My aunt Jane said he already has the job, but he still has to fill it out..I hope he can start next week.
Well thats all I got for now.. Hope everyone is doing well.

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it!!!! We leave for vacation tomorrow... Today will be about packing and getting everything ready for our trip... I will post pictures on instagram of our trip maybe facebook, but I don't know how to post them from my phone to my blog.. Were heading up to Mount Rushmore then over to Seattle..We have so much planned I hope we get to do it all..We will be gone for 10 days, but some of those days will be driving time.. I love road trips plus we will be in my new car.. The weather in Seattle is in the low 80's with no rain, so it will be perfect...
I only lost 5 pounds in the whole 3 months that I have been super good at my exercise and watching what I ate..I think this is just where my body wants me to be..
Well I got to get going and run all these arrands for today.. Hope everyone has a great week!!

Almost vacation time
I'm counting down the days.. Vacation time is almost here..
Cole's eyes are healing well. He went back to regular duty on Monday.. Doctors still don't know what caused it..
Jeff and I started a new diet.. Well kinda.. Jeff still eats what he wants, just not as much.. Its hard for him.. Like the other day he grabbed 3 packages of cookie snack packs that are 140 each and 16 ounce's of chocolate milk... I took the cookies away and told him only one, he said two.. So I gave in.. That was still a really big calorie snack...but hey its a start.. We are also drinking this cinnamon and honey drink first thing in the morning and right before bed.. Its suppose to break down the fat.. Its says you will notice inches off before the weight..At least it taste alright...
I had a surprise visitor Saturday night... Temple and Aaron and his girlfriend and Temple's little girl Jaylee.. Aaron is here visiting from college , he visited us last year too..He turned out to be such a great kid...He just got a job working at a coffee shop across the street from Sony studios so he is pretty excited about that.. He was told Will Smith comes in a lot...I of course asked him to keep his eye out for my crush..Of course he is about to go make a movie, but it could still happen..Temple was Temple still the same... I feel sad for her...
Well thats really all I got, not much goes on around this house...Oh except our garden has grown so much we have a hard time getting into it..
Hope everyone has a great week.

Its been forever
I know , I know its been a while..Lots of medical stuff going on with the family.. Jeff's grandmother had to have three stints put in her heart, one stint in left leg, one balloon in right leg.. Two of my aunts had to have surgery due to breast cancer.. And then Cole had to go in for emergency surgery for his right eye... He hasn't had in problems with that eye in a year and then bam.. The doctor has sent out an email to the doctors in Boston and Pennyslvania about Cole's condition.. Maybe one of them know whats going on.. All the doctors in Texas do not..I'm really worried about him..Oh and now he will have to have catorack surgery on left eye in July.. He is actually looking forward to that one.. Perfect vision in one eye..
We are getting ready for our vacation.. We leave at the end of June.. I'm so ready..
Still exercising and dieting of course.. Only lost 5 pounds in two months, but I have lost inches. I can see the difference in my clothes..
Really nothing fun has been going on.. Just hanging around the house, saving money for our trip..
Today Jordan and I are going to the movies. Tonight I'm going to my baby brothers sister's graduation at the Junell center.. Thats it.. My life is pretty boring right now.. I know boring is good, but sometimes I feel like life is passing me by..
Oh great news my crush and that cheater finially called it quits!!!!
Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Been a While
Things are going well here.. Not much to write about. Cole's eyes are healing, but he will have to have the catorack surgery later this year..Jordan is now 16.. Cole will be 21 in June.. My babies are growing up. Jordan is now taller than me and finially weighs more than me..He is pretty proud of that fact..
I have been eating okay , but I exercise 6 days a week.. I'm only weighing myself once a month..I don't think I'm losing much weight, but I can tell that I'm toning up..
We hung out at the river yesterday with Mandy and the kids.. I got a little sun.. I felt drained when we got home and went to bed at like 9.. I don't know why I didn't drink any alcahol at all.. I guess my body isn't use to be outside for hours in the hot sun.. Odd , I use to always be outside, now not so much.. Jordan and I do plan on hanging out with Mandy and the kids more at the river this summer though..
Jeff was approved for the vacation we requested.. I'm so excited.. We will be gone 10 days..
Well thats all I got.. Hope everyone is good..
