Need Assistance

I don't know what happened exactly. Maybe it was because I got a wellness test for insurance purposes, but I feel somewhat motivated to live a little healthier. This is not normal for me. The only problem is it's freezing here, I have very little time I can get away from the girls alone, and I have very little motivation to work out by myself. Going on a diet may never ever happen because I love food and really don't like to make it so it's not likely that I'll spend extra time making my meals healthier. So, I guess what I'm saying here is that I need someone to help motivate me.  My request is this: I'm hoping there is someone else out there in the same dilemma that I am in. My plan is that we come up with an exercise plan for each of us that fits our schedules, and then make the motivating factor to actually accomplish that plan be that we have to report to each other for how well we are doing each week. I'm not sure if that really made sense but I guess I'm hoping for someone to begin a workout/eating better goal with me. Then, when I'm tempted to skip a workout or to eat something I shouldn't I'd feel guilty cause the other person would be sacrificing too. I think it could work. And I'm not necessarily thinking it has to be something drastic, we could start out small like eating an extra helping of veggies a day or spending 10 minutes a day dancing with your kids or something. I just know I could use a boost and hope I'm not the only one out there. I know it's kinda a weird request but if anyone's interested let me know.

So,

   I've had a blast these last couple of days. Monday is my birthday but I wanted to do something we've never done before, and since we missed our anniversary this year I thought I'd kinda combine the two. Anyway, I looked into doing an overnighter somewhere and convinced my sister to agree to taking both girls overnight. I know, genius huh. Anyway, we found out that the AmericInn in Rexburg had a deal on one of their themed suite rooms if we decided to celebrate my birthday just a bit earlier. So, Thursday night Mike and I headed down to Rexburg for a romantic evening out (without the girls). We had a nice quiet dinner, went swimming and hot tubbing and settled down for some good old snuggling! Both the girls did fine with Amber, and Mike and I got the first good night's rest we've had in a long time. Then Friday night we went to the governors ball and got to get all dressed up and fancy for a night of dancing. It was soo much fun!! My husband also bought me a beautiful necklace for my birthday and let me open it early since we celebrated early. Anyway, I guess 24 might not be such a bad year after all. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Oh, and for those who have contacted me but whose blogs I can't go to unless they invite me, please do! (Diana that means you)

Thanks!!

So,

  I think I'm getting the hang of it a little but it might take me awhile before I really get into this blog thing. I guess the next question I have is how do I keep an archive of blogs I'd like to visit?

Nothing too fancy, just a list that I can click on the name and be directed to their page?

Anyway, I was also reading what I had written in my first post and realized it's been awhile now. Things have changed a little bit; like Carina is almost 6 months old now!!

I can't believe how quickly time has flown. She is easily sitting up now and rolling all over the floor. I don't think I see any crawling happening for a while though so that's a relief. She is even cuter than she was before (I think my favorite age of children is 5 months to a year. They are just adorable and can entertain themselves) Anyway, hopefully I can figure out how to post picture so you can see what I'm talking about.

 And people do not overestimate the power of two-year-olds. Danna's crazy and extremely clever about what she decides to get into.  It's an adventure I guess.

Well, for those who didn't know Mike and I recently moved into a house in Iona, Idaho. It has been so great but I can't seem to keep it clean. Now I have 2 bathrooms instead of one. And, like I said, Danna's gets creative in what she gets into. She likes to put crayons in the vents all around the house and, get this, she found a small tea candle and went around the house and colored on the mirrors with it. Weird huh? She's so cute! She's also into pretending and will walk up to us with a cupped hand and say, "taste it" so we pretend we do and she'll say, "tastes like chicken mommy" Ha, she just cracks us up!

 Anyway, speaking of the girls, I'd better get them up and ready so we can go to toddler reading group in an hour.

Talk to you all later!

sooo,

  I've decided I'm a huge computer dummy and don't even know how to figure this whole blogspot thing out. So if anyone can give me some advice it would be really appreciated! How do you put pictures on here? How do you customize your page?

I was soo thrilled to see some of my buddied who I haven't talked to in FOREVER wrote comments! Thanks, when I figure out how to work this, I'll try to talk back.

Okay, so it's been awhile.

  I haven't been doing so well on keeping updated but it's still my goal. Stay with me.

So, the updated news? Not much really has changed. I got a haircut recently, something different than I've ever done (and if anyone knows me that is not usual). Our Malibu broke down and we had an astronomical payment we had to make for it. I have my first symphony concert of the year this weekend, um, and that's pretty much everything exciting that's been going on here. I guess I'll post some pictures and maybe it'll make up for my lack of anything to say.

Till next time,

Tiff
