The Biggest Loser

Ok I am officially hooked on the Biggest Loser. Tuesdays are my only nights off that I am able to watch TV and Biggest loser is my show of choice. Currently I almost feel like I am losing water weight just by watching the show. Let me explain. Every week there is at least one thing that happens which makes me cry. Ok not cry more sob like a baby. If you have ever seen my UGLY CRY FACE it is not pretty but I definitely sport it every Tuesday night. I'm not sure what is the reason but it seems like my tear ducts are attached to the contestants because they cry and I cry. Really right now I am supposed to be finishing my paper for Psychology of Health which happens to be an intervention for my own personal weight loss and I just had to get that off my chest. Ohhh(big sigh of relief)

So Busy

Sorry we haven't made a post in a while. Craig and I have started school and are still working full time as well so we don't have much time to update the blog. I am also doing an internship with the YMCA and that is working out pretty well. It was a rough start but it seems to all be coming together so that is good. Just wanted to let everyone know that we are doing good and staying busy. ( so if you drive by our house and our lawn isn't mowed that is why..haha)

Have a great week.

Please save us from the Tomatos!!!

Our tomato plants are going crazy and now that Craig and I are back in school we don't have time to make salsa, and Craig really doesn't like the tomatos so if any of you love tomatos let me know and I will bring you some.

I DID IT!!!!!

All summer I have been telling my self to ride my bike to work and back. Well yesterday I did it. I rode my bike to work and back, a total of 13.5 miles. whoo hoo. I tried to accomplish this twice this summer. Once I made it to work and had Craig pick me up when I was off, and the next time I was halfway to work and I realized I left my bike lock at home. So I rode back home and drove to work. So today my legs are really tired, of course. I am starting to realize how out of shape I have let myself get. Anyways I posted a picture of my bike below. Oh yes and two things I have learned about riding a bike. No matter how comfy your seat may be by the end of the ride it feels like a Rock(and I don't mean a Chevy), and two for some reason every highschool who passes you in a car loves to scream at you. Not quite sure what that is about.

Craigism for today

So today I called Craig at work. I don't remember why but I told him to "Calm Down". With out missing a beat Craig says " I can't I have high blood pressure" I was laughing so hard because it totally makes sense..haha Just thought I would share the funny things Craig says.

The Fruits or Veggies of our Labor

This year we built some planter boxes and planted some plants for our first garden. I wasn't sure if the plants would even grow so of course I put a lot of seeds in the soil. Crazy thing, I'm pretty sure all of them grew. Here are some pictures

We planted White Pumpkins


And Orange pumpkins(we just realized that they are miniature pumpkins)


And lots and lots of tomatos

Peppers



Carrots that taste so good

Our lawn that has taken most of our time this summer. We have put so much work into this so it will look like a yard, and it kind of does now. Much different from what it looked like when we moved in.

Here is a slideshow of some of my Family Renunion in Yellowstone

We also went swimming at the firehole,saw Kesler cascades, some more geysers, saw Mammoth hot springs, came out all covered in dirt and smelling like camp smoke. If there is one thing to make you appreciate life it is seeing Gods creations first hand. Enjoy
