New Goal

I tried losing weight for the wedding.

Didn't work.

Now I am once again trying to lose weight. What will be different this time you ask...

I have a cash incentive from work.
I have help from my fellow coworkers with motivation and tips.

I have a husband who is helping me too.

I have a gym at work I can use for free.

I am eating healthy.

And lastly:

I have now posted it here so I have more drive to shed those unwanted pounds.

I now weigh (according to Dean's scale) 153. Yep I know...ouch.

To get the cash prize at work I need to lose 10% (15 pounds).

That puts me at a goal weight of:

135

This is Jes by the way...

Homemaking ...

I have my kitchen nicely decorated in red and black. The bathroom is yellow and green and both turned out nicely. I also have assigned color schemes to the other rooms in the apartment but both the living room and bedroom are not looking like they have any color coordination at all. This makes me sad.

So I decided I wanted a coffee table that gave the living room more color. I also need to just concentrate on one room at a time or I will become a crazy decorating whirl wind (no comment to those who think I already am.)

Yesterday I got Corey to take me to IKEA to get said coffee table but me being the tightwad that I am I did not want to make the purchase.

Corey talked me back into it and poof...we have color!

(light blue and dark brownish black)

It's kinda big, I know, it is also 4 different tables so we can make it smaller if we want.

Our First Holiday!

Fourth of July was our first holiday as a married couple and we had Corey's family with us. I love being a little hostess and make people sleep in my bed. (Since the Humrich's made Corey sleep on the couch when I would visit CO) 

We had a blast with them in town!

We checked out the Freedom Festival for the first time since I've lived in Provo.

We had yummy food.

We hiked the Y.

And we were pooped by the end of the weekend. 

Blessings

I am now an event coordinator/territory manager for WhyTry.  They are an organization that runs training on their dropout prevention program. There are so many blessings that come with this job, I am so thrilled. I love the people, I love the program and I love going to work everyday. I'm writing this blog post from my MacBook provided by the company. I get free lunches too. Corey and I will have health benefits soon (huge blessing). It's a normal pay plus a little commission. 

We've been praying for this job since we heard about it and last week I had almost given up. I did start looking for other jobs but gave them one last phone call just to make sure. I called on Monday and started on Wednesday. They had already emailed me an offer but I didn't get the email.

Life is good. And I can start working on not being so stressed!
