Sunday Afternoon Date

On Sunday afternoon, Robert and I took the boys to their MawMaw's house in D'Iberville... Then we went on a date, JUST THE TWO of us... Our 4-year wedding anniversary was Thursday, June 25. So Sunday afternoon we finally got a chance to celebrate. We went to lunch at Beef O'Brady's (love their wings!), and then went to see a movie at the Grand Theater. We saw "The Proposal" with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. I loved it and Robert even said he enjoyed it. Very good for a "date movie" I must say! After the movie, we stopped at BOPS and got some ice cream. Then back to Robert's mom's to pick up the boys. It was a nice afternoon just the two of us. We don't get to go out very often as a couple. Most of the time, pretty much anywhere we go, we go as a family....

It looks like this week will be somewhat busy... Work all week, a birthday party on Friday afternoon at Martin's Lake, 4th of July not sure what we'll do 'cause Robert has to work, Sunday another birthday/swimming party... Busy, yes. But am I complaining? No way! It will get us out of the house and the boys will be able to be around some kids their own age for a change. Definitely looking forward to the weekend, and it's ONLY Monday!

Not doing so well on the weight loss front. But that doesn't mean that I have given up! I just have to get back to some regular exercising and really try to focus on what I'm eating. I already drink plenty of water while I'm at work, so that's not a problem....

Have a great week, y'all!

Just Everyday Life...

Again, I haven't been all that great about posting on a regular basis... Lately I've just been working and then going home and "trying" to keep up with Robbie and Evan...

But a couple of weeks ago, I finally attempted to walk the OS/Biloxi bridge. The first time we only went about halfway then turned around. The second time we went a little farther. And then, on Wednesday night of last week, Robert went with us and we walked THE WHOLE THING. It took Robert and me 2 hours and 1o minutes to walk the entire length of the bridge and back... with rest breaks at every bench, and even a potty break at the Isle b/c we both had to go... Keep in mind that each of us was pushing a stroller with a 20-something pound child in the seat, so that probably kept us from going a bit faster, but it was a nice thing to do with the entire family...

I have also been going a couple of times a week (as my sister's "guest") to Planet Fitness in Ocean Springs. So far, the only things I've done are the elliptical (which is getting easier finally...), the treadmill, and the bike. I'd like to eventually do some weights, etc. but I'm not gonna' go to extremes. I need to LOSE weight FIRST, THEN I can focus more on toning (and by toning I mean getting rid of these nasty flabby arms I have....) As soon as I am financially able, I plan to get my own membership, that way I can go more often... Small steps so far, but steps nonetheless... :)

It also looks like we've got a busy month of July coming up. Two birthday parties (for friends' little ones) over the 4th of July weekend and a possible third birthday party sometime later in the month... But hey, it gets us out of the house and lets the boys spend time with other children their own age, so I'm not complaining! ;)

I am also supposed to be going on a trip to California either later this year or early next year, depending on when we are able to get enrolled in the class. I, along with two techs from Singing River, will be going to Mountain View, CA, for Omnicell training. Omnicell is our medication dispensing cabinet system that we have on each unit and the hospitals need a couple of extra people who are trained in troubleshooting, etc... Mountain View, from what I understand, is about 40 miles from San Francisco. We are excited and are already trying to think of things we want to do while we're there. If each of us is able to save some money, we might be able to go out a few days earlier so we can have plenty of sightseeing time... (I'm crossing my fingers....) I already know that I want to try to go to ALCATRAZ, and of course I need to see if I can get a really good shot of the Golden Gate Bridge... If any of you have ever been to SF and have some "must do" or "must see" ideas for us, please feel free to share. One of the things I am really excited about is that at some point I will get to ride on a "BIG GIRL PLANE" this time. Last fall when we went to Texas, we were on a rather small (50 seats) regional jet... So HOORAY for BIG GIRL PLANES!!! :o)

Hope everyone out there in blogger land is doing well. I know not very many people read my blog, but maybe one day I'll get a "following"...

Until next time,

Amy
