As of this very moment it is only 26 more days until I leave for Portland! Until recently I have been getting pretty weary about how much time was left and to some degree I still am, however, when I realized that I only have 26 more days to spend with the family I am immediately overcome with many emotions. I am absolutely desperate to see my husband but I know I will miss my dear family more than I can imagine.
Christopher is doing so well. Work has been busy and he is loving being so active. Chris has also been trying to make smarter choices. This is the route he recently biked with his men's church small group. I am so proud of him!
I want to update everyone on my weight loss too! As of this morning I have lost 11 pounds!! I have really been working on making better choices, smaller portions, and being more active. Now I am eleven steps into my journey! Tomorrow I am starting the couch to 5K app with my Dad and aunt. I am really glad to have companions on my journey and I LOVE when its my family!!
This is an example of a beautiful meal Stephanie mad for us. This is halibut over brown rice with squash. Yummo!
In preparation for Oregon I have also started to work with my uncooperative curly/wavy hair. With the amount of moisture in Portland, I have a feeling that flat-ironing my hair will be a waste of time So here is what I have been working on. We will see how it goes when I do this in Oregon. lol
This last week a friend of mine left town and I housesat for her. Part of house sitting included watering a rather large lawn. In my daily waterings I encountered some very cute little friends.
I'm not sure if its clear but this teeny tiny bird in the middle of the picture had fallen out of its nest. After three days of fighting the heat it finally flew away!
This teeny little tree frog hopped out of one of the flowerbeds. lol
and this teeny little lizard followed me around a flowerbed. It was super cute and a little scary. lol
I have some REALLY exciting news!! Chris has surprised me with a trip to Alaska. I leave on Tuesday and will get back the following Wednesday! I am flying into Anchorage and will be staying with my best friend Kelci and her family. Chris is unable to go with me, which is super sad but...... I have a layover in Seattle and Chris is coming to see me! This is my favorite part so far! lol I can't wait to post pictures from my trip when I get back.
Finally, I tried a strawberry peach sangria tonight at dinner. It was so yummy and I will be a searching for a recipe as soon as I get back from ALASKA!
With Love,
Sarah
