A little bit smaller

So about a month ago I decided to start Weight Watchers. I always told myself I never would, but I was not having a lot of success losing weight by myself. I never wanted to go to meetings or have someone weight me and then discuss with me what my weight was, so I did not join. But now they let you do everything online, so I figured what the heck. I was not happy with my weight and it was time for me to change that. Well I have to say that I am now a believer in Weight Watchers. I reached my first weight goal of losing 5% of my weight. I have lost the same amount that I did two years ago, but in a month instead of eight months. The program has really helped me to limit portion sizes and watch what I eat. I still have a ways to go to be at the weight that I want to be at, but I am encouraged by my results so far. Maybe the will put me on a commercial. So we have a lot of big changes going on in our lives right now. One is that my parents are moving out. They have been living with us for almost three years and two weeks ago they signed on their home. I am so excited for them. Their new house has a huge garage and a hot tub. So next weekend Jason and I are going to be by ourselves in our house. We are not going to know what to do just the two of us. Well we do have plans. We are changing some of the rooms around. I am making one of the rooms into a craft room for me to keep all my yarn, flowers, wreaths, and paints. Also because my parents are moving I am changing my garden this year. I am not planting as many tomatoes. Although I say that now, but I always pick up plants, you know because they need a home. I have already planted peas, which the birds have been eating, which is annoying. I am going to plant beans this year and some lettuce. But no squash, Jason and I can not eat that much zucchini. Well that is what is going on. We are just really busy right now. I am trying to get all my papers written. I have 5 and only on more month left to do it all in. Heres hoping that I don't flunk. Sorry this is one long paragraph, I keep putting spaces and the stupid thing just puts it all as one paragraph.

Shy guy down my dress

So today we went to Jason's cousin's wedding and during the reception we helped watch our niece and nephew. They had little Disney figures and Mario figures to play with. My niece kept trying to put Minnie Mouse down everyone's dress, she is only 2 so it is cute now. But my nephew could not find his shy guy figurine, we looked all over the gym for it and could not find it. His mom said we would look after the reception was done. So Jason and I went home and I was sitting on the couch and there was a lump on my leg. I grabbed it and it was the shy guy. My niece had stuck it down my dress and I did not know it, when I took off my belt it feel down. Lets just say we all laughed hysterically and that is the first time I have ever had a Nintendo character down my dress. You have to watch out for those shy guys you never know where they will end up.

A first for me

So today was my first time being rear ended. The car is just fine and I am fine too. I was getting on to the freeway and had to stop for a pedestrian who had the right away. I was stopped and all of a sudden someone hit me. My head hit my seat, so I have a little headache, but there is no damage to my car. The girl said it was because the road was slippery, but I am pretty sure that it was because she was on her cell phone. Well I hope that does not happen again. Although everything is fine, it was still really scary.
Other than that everything is going fine. I am busy with school. I am also really excited to get out into the yard and get some stuff done. My tulips and hyacinths are starting to pop up. I am going to try and plant some peas this weekend if the weather cooperates. I am just really excited to have nicer weather. We have a lot of stuff we want to do around the yard and I want to start getting it done. I just hope we get to keep the spring weather for a little bit and don't go straight into the summer heat.
