Finally Settled!

Oh where do I begin???  Well, the move out here was nice.  We took 5 full days and had a great time driving cross country.  It took us several weeks to really get things situated at my in-laws place....I think I mentioned that's where we are staying for awhile.  I could not be more grateful but in the same breath....it is HARD living with the hubby's family!  Just because they are older and so set in their ways, bringing in 4 people and 2 dogs really threw them for a loop!  Not to mention his mom loves to cook!!  And it is hard to say no to her cooking....it's the "real" mexican food! Homemade everything! Oy! But I have been doing pretty good actually! 

On another note.....the job hubby had lined up has been put on hold for a few weeks!!!!  So we've been here nearly a month and neither of us have a job!  We are ok so far but getting close to panic mode.  I haven't really looked yet but hubby has been at it daily and just can't seem to land one. Hopefully soon though. 

My boys have already started school which was a real shocker to us when we got here!  My sister in law who works for the school had told me that they would be starting after Labor Day, so I believed her, never checked into it myself.....so I thought I had the rest of August to get them enrolled and such...ummm more like a week and a half from the day we arrived!  It was nuts but we got it done and I must say I am soooooo incredibly happy with the way they have adjusted! they both love their new school and at least a couple of times a week one of them say something like "Man I love living in California!"  Thank God!  Al the trips to the beach are probaly helping with that just a bit!

We are very happy to be home....broke and jobless but we're home! And it feels good!

Getting into a routine with eating and exercise has been a little difficult but I think I've got a grip on it!  This was the first week I was consistent with eating "healthy" and exercising.  And the first time I weighed myself in nearly 2 months!!  While I am very pleased with the NEW number on the scale ~188.2!!!~ I KNOW I have lost muscle....I can feel it all over but I am still jumping for joy!  I was only in the 180's once in my lifetime and it was when I was pregnant with my first son (he's 11 1/2!).  

My current goal is 168 by Halloween!  I will be keeping to my Friday weigh ins and need to get back to counting!  And doing weights!  No gym so I need to get creative! 

Alrighty my CC friends!!!  It's good to be back and I will be seeing you all around!!
