Calorie Counting??

Ok so I thought I would share this little post about the greatest website I've found (thanks to my friend Tecia!)! It's called myfitnesspal.com and it is the most amazing thing ever. For those that are wanting to shed a few pounds (or many pounds in my case) this is the greatest help EVER! after setting up a profile it gives you a calorie limit for each day. Then you can add in the foods you eat in a day and it will count your calories/carbs/protein/sodium and more! This has been a huge eye opener for me as I have been deciding what to eat each day (and yes...I have made better choices because of it!). And you can also add in your own recipe and it will add up the calories for you. It's super easy and takes only seconds! So check it out!

Mentally challenged....

Ok so I was just changing my blog a bit and decided I am really retarded when it comes to doing cutesy things...how do you make cute headers with cursive writing and all? I only know how to do the basics (and they aren't that cute...) Any suggestions?

Viva Las Vegas

Well it's time for a little get away, seeing how this will probably be the last chance we really have to do so in the little time we have left till Gary leaves for training. We decided to fly to Vegas with another couple for the weekend. And the best part is we are going to Phantom of the Opera! I can wait!

Mixed Feelings

Well we finally found out the date Gary will be leaving to start his Air Force Officer Training in Montgomery, Alabama....April 19, 2011. We are both really excited because we've been waiting for so long but I must admit that I have mixed feelings. While I am so excited that we have something to look forward to and we can get on with our lives, I am definitely dreading the 3 months we will be apart (hopefully I'll be able to fly down there a couple times). And I thought 2 weeks in Tonga was a long time! Thank goodness for family...they'll probably get sick of me by the end! I am so proud of Gary and all his accomplishments thus far, and I know that we haven't even started this great adventure!

The Move

So we finally moved to a new apartment! It was a lot of work (mostly for Gary lifting boxes!) but it was well worth it! Just a few things I HATE about moving:
1. Your stuff seems to double, even triple when you have to place it all in boxes.
2. No matter how many boxes you've packed the apartment still seems messy.
3. Dust. Enough said.
4. Feeling like I now have lung cancer due to inhaling so much oven cleaner/mr. clean.
And a few things I LOVE about moving:
1. Deseret Industries.
2. The dumpster.
3. A dust free new apartment.
4. Redecorating.
Here's a couple of pictures of our old apartment and one of our new place.

4 Very Fast Years!

Yesterday was our 4 year anniversary! Can't believe it's been 4 years already! Looking back there's many things that I just can't believe...Here are a few of the big ones...
1. We are still living in the SAME 1 bedroom apt we started in....only until Aug (yay!)
2. Gary has graduated with his bachelor's in Business Mgt/Finance
3. I have my registered nursing license and graduate in July with my bachelor's in nursing (finally!)
4. Gary has been excepted into the Air Force as a Combat Systems Officer
5. My LITTLE sister is getting married in just over one week!
Looking back there are many more adventures and experience we've had together and I just can't wait to see what the future brings!!

So Excited!

So I just have to say that I am so excited for Curtis, Jennie, and Addie to come up for Jamie's wedding! I can't wait to play with Addison...I can't believe how big she looks in the pictures! Here's one that I thought was way cute!

And The Verdict Is..............

Gary got excepted as an officer in the Air Force! We are so excited. He will be working/flying the unmanned air vehicles. He will go to Basic Officer Training sometime in the first part of next year. That will be for 3 months in Alabama and I can't go with him :( After that we will be off to who knows where for more training. So we definitely have a long road ahead of us and sometimes I wonder what we have gotten ourselves into! But I know this is what we're suppose to be doing and we'll go where we're suppose to go. We just can't wait to get the three months of training over with! On a smaller note we got a new apartment that is a little bit bigger than the one we're in now. It's a brand new building and we can move in on Aug 2nd! So we are excited about that as well! It will be so nice to have a two bedroom apt after living in a one bedroom for the past 4 years! I can't wait!
