Weight Watchers!

Oh my goodness. When I first joined, I thought, "Am I wasting my money? Is this really going to do anything for ME?" To answer my own questions, no and yes. I am not wasting my money because it is working! I have lost 6 pounds already, and closer to what I used to be! I try going to the gym whenever I can, but I feel more motivated to eating healthier. It is a lifestyle change that I can maintain without getting frustrated. PLUS, I can eat a "fun" meal once a week! It's great!

It's Been A While!

So, I have not blogged in a while, and I thought it is time! Our trip to Arizona was such a great time! We got to see lots of people and do the majority of the things we wanted to! So fun! It was sad to leave our families and friends, but we know that it is NOT goodbye! Coming back, I did find out that I love the Bravo channel. Kathy Griffin makes me laugh!! Also decided to join Weight Watchers with a friend! I think it will be a good thing to learn how to manage food intake. It is surprising how we can just gorge on food and not even realize what we are really doing. I lovvvve food, so I know I am completely guilty. I already told Ty he is doing it with me! Haha! He knows how many points he can have and everything! ;) But I am totally ready for the discipline!

Home Bound.

When it became official that we were moving, I thought to myself, "I can't wait to get out of AZ!" Now looking back, it makes me sad that I did not appreciate my home. Arizona is my home. It is where my heart is. We are going to be making a trip out to good ol AZ in less than 2 weeks, and I am ecstatic! It is going to be comforting knowing that we are going to be surrounded by our family and close friends!

It doesn't feel like it did.

So yesterday was my 22nd birthday! My wonderful family got me the camera I have been wanting and Tyler got me a cute little notebook laptop! I got the day off of work, and Ty had plans for us! Although I wasn't able to know, I did figure it out! He was going to take me to a local zoo, then dinner! Sounded super fun and I couldn't wait! We got down to the zoo, and they were closing. Oh well, we can go some other time. We decided just to go to the restaurant called...SPACE ALIENS! Haha. Definitely was different! We ended up buying Avatar, and going home. All in all, I did enjoy my birthday and realized I don't have to do something big to enjoy my birth :)

Domesticated.

I have seriously gone into "wife" mode lately. I clean like crazy, plant flowers, and got super excited when I found out I could paint. I picked out the colors today and I realized I now need a new comforter. THEN, I started thinking about how I want to decorate. It is crazy to me how I went from being a normal 21 year old, to a domestic woman. I love it though! It keeps me occupied looking online for new stuff, and I am not freaking out that we can't do anything! Ya know, since we have an apartment. Still, cannot wait til we move back to Arizona and get a house!

Baby struck!

Ahhh! I can't stand it! I see all these cutie pa-tootie babies, and it makes me nuts. I want a baby sooo badly, but know it DEFINITELY is not the right time. I can't wait for Ty and I to announce we are having a little one. All the adorable babies make me realize how much I want to have one of God's precious creations. Hopefully, my sister Amy, will bring one into the world soon to help me calm of this baby craze!!


Congrats to all the women who have just had a baby, or in the process of! It is a beautiful thing.

No more, cat!

Oh lordy! Ever since we have been here, my cat has turned into an insane feline. In AZ, she would wake everyone up at 4:00 in the morning just to be fed. She now wakes us up to PLAY!!! I swear she is like a wanna-be kitten. As much as I love her, it annoys me that she wants to play non stop. Right when we wake up, right when we get home from somewhere, or when we are watching a movie. And only loves ONE toy! Anyone want her? ;)

Cold weather? Psshhh...what's that?

Open patio door, windows down while driving, and no jacket needed. Sounds to me like spring is on it's way to us! I keep hearing from my family how nice it is there. Tell ya what. When we get back to AZ, for good, I will NOT complain when it is 50 degrees outside. While everyone is wearing their jackets and getting bundled up, I will be outside with a t-shirt and my flippy floppies.

On the subject of "open patio door," I was cleaning the apartment today, and had the door wide open. While vacuuming, my kitty got scared and ran. I wanted to play with her after I was done, and could not find her for the life of me. Tyler and I searched our place and outside everywhere. After making a bunch of fliers, she just pops right out of the most random hiding spot. I was so livid at that point, that I wanted nothing to do with her. But I am very grateful is alive and safe :)

It has been an adventure thus far!

So, Tyler has been in school, and I, Katie, have been working. I just recently got hired with Olive Garden as a server. Money isn't nearly as glamorous as it was with the bank, but is definitely income. I know that God is watching out for us, and is always there no matter what! We miss everyone at home, and cannot WAIT to get back in June. Jacob is graduating. Can you believe it? JACOB!!! The baby!

The married life is great for all those single people! It's really nice to come home and have some one there to greet you. It's fun to cook dinner for each other and try new recipes. It's fun to be in a place we aren't familiar with, and try new places! All in all, I love it, and would not trade it for the world! Everyone keeps asking us when we are planning to have kids. We seriously JUST got married, and are going to wait a few years. Just so we have "our" time and Ty can finish school. Maybe just a couple ;)
