Katie and I are making jewelry, and now we have a shop in etsy.com. Check it out!!

Got a job! I start Tuesday!

On My Way

As of 8:30 this morning I weigh 162.3lbs. Because of my height, my phone app says I'm obese. I don't feel obese, but I still want to lose some weight and be healthier. Mat and I started going to the gym last week. Its great because we have people to go with who motivate us. I have gone everyday since Tuesday, except for Sunday. But I took the dogs for a walk Sunday, so I got a little something in. I have already noticed a change in my attitude and energy level. I am more enthusiastic and motivated to get things done! I love it! Here's to hoping I make my goal of 130!

Mat turns 25!

This past weekend Mat and I went camping at Big Sur with 10 of our good friends. We had an amazing time! A good mix of friends, beer, 5 tents, beach and hiking always make for a great weekend. Happy Birthday Mattie!

Here are a few highlights from the trip.

Health Journal

Today is the first day of my "getting healthy" journal. I am going to keep track of my weight, how much I lose, and what I am doing in order to lose it! and it's all public! Hopefully the fact that people will be reading this will motivate me to get it done!

The last month I participated in a challenge with some of Mat's family to lose weight. Buy in was $20 and who ever lost the most weight would win the pot. The pot is $240 i think. We find out the winner on Saturday. My start weight was 162 and as of today i weighed 155. So 7lbs! Yey! Don't think I won, but it is a good start.

*This past week*

Mat and I have decided that we need a change. We love your house and family and living in Reedley, but it has been very difficult for me to find any sort of job in the Valley and that is starting to catch up with us. In the past week I have applied to some jobs in the Portland, OR area and we hope to be able to find a renter for our house, get jobs and move to Oregon within the next year. Anyone who wants to move with us is welcome!

San Diego and some

Mat took an early vacation this past week so we decided to go to LA and San Diego to visit some friends. Here are a couple pictures from our adventure.
