They're starting our house tomorrow!

We finally found out when they are starting on our house....tomorrow! Yeah! I can't wait to see something actually get done out there!

Today we had a cook-out in what will be our front yard eventually. It was fun. Our babysitter Kendra, who has been in California all summmer, got home this weekend and we have had a blast hanging out with her again. After we cooked out, we went to her apartment complex and went swimming. Boy is it hard to find a place to buy a raft at this time of year...I went to 3 stores and finally ended up buying a kids little float-ring and hoped it would hold me up so I could "lay out" in the water on it. (it didn't) Anyway, it was a really fun day. I am giving myself a new weight goal. I am going to try to lose 17 pounds by January 1st. There are 14 weeks left in the year...so let's see..that comes out to a little over a pound a week. That should be do-able. I'll keep you updated on my progress. If I achieve this goal, I will be 5 pounds thinner than I was on my wedding day!!! YIPPEE! Wish me luck, energy and lots of yummy, calorie-free foods!
