Well there goes my resolution...

....to start blogging more often!

We've been pretty busy over here at the Meyer house.

My best friend, Kylee came to visit from Santa Cruz. It was so good to see her. Aubrey really enjoyed hanging out with her auntie. We didn't do much but hang out at the house but there isn't much to do in the winter in Alaska, with a baby that is.

In other news, very very exciting news...

We're moving February 13th! Our vehicle is getting shipped out this Wednesday and our household goods are getting packed up and shipped on the 9th.

But unfortunately, we looked at our finances more closely and we have decided that going on vacation to California like we planned just won't be possible. When we first planned our vacation we were supposed to be moving in June but now that we are moving so soon, it's just not going to happen. We are all really bummed but since we are a lot closer to family we are hoping they can come visit us more often. It's so hard for Mike to get time off being in the military.

Even though we are going to be really busy around here I am still going to try to post more often.

Oh and here is a picture of doodle. :)

 I know it's supposed to be a Friday ritual but I just had to share this photo.

Finally, a "vacation"

We’ve had a pretty rough week at the Meyer household so Mike and I decided to spend the night at Alyeska Ski Resort for a night. Growing up I came here a lot during the winter. My step dad was a liquor salesmen so he did a lot of promotions/parties at the lodge during skiing and snowboarding season so we got to stay in the hotel for free over the weekends. I have so many great memories here especially at the pool… I would spend pretty much the whole weekend at the pool. I even learned how to swim here at Alyeska and that’s where I am going with this post…

 

Aubrey went swimming for the first time this weekend and she loved it! It meant a lot to me that it was in the pool that I grew up swimming in. When I used to come here as a kid the pool was a regular chlorine pool but now it’s a heated salt water pool. I don’t think I would have felt comfortable having Aubrey in the water if it had been a chlorine pool still.

This night at Alyeska was some good closure to a really rough week and to the fact that we will be leaving Alaska next month. I just couldn’t leave here without coming here one more time. Maybe one day when we can afford it we will make a family ski trip up here.

January 3rd...

and my resolutions have already been broken! haha


i didn't blog yesterday and my dear husband sabotaged my diet!

So... where does this put me? 

i have decided to start my diet once Mike goes to school for eight weeks because with Kylee coming to visit in a week and a half, then the move, the even more moving, then a vacation it will be very hard to diet! i don't know what i was thinking!

But i still am determined to blog more! 

My 2011 Resolution

To start blogging once a day! We have a very busy year ahead of us and i want to record it and i'm sure blogging will help me stay sane in this crazy year to come. 

Today i started the HCG Diet. i started the loading days on the 30th. Phase 2, where i only eat 500 calories a day while taking HCG drops three times a day started today. it was going pretty good.... until Mike decided to order pizza. Well i'm sure most people have a hard time in the beginning. i do notice that i feel sick now that i've over eaten. Hopefully tomorrow i have a little more will power!
