Sorry it has been a while since my last post. There hasn't been much I can write about except Sarah's news. I was sworn to secrecy, however, to ensure that she was able to call the family herself. If you don't know yet, I will post it next week.
For those who don't know, Jose and I have been on a diet. We have been going strong since January 19th. He has already lost 20 lbs and I a mere 10. I guess slowly but surely is the way to go but for some reason it just doesn't seem fast enough! Our weight loss has slowed down a bit but it's still going so that is good.
Valentine's Day is coming up and we are so excited to go out and eat. We haven't eaten out since Jan 19th so we are pretty excited. We are going to go to the Yard House, one of our favorite restaurants, and then he agreed to go see "He's Just Not That Into You" that evening with me. Isn't he sweet!
New York this winter is what I'm thinking about every day... I can't wait!!! It is going to be so much fun. The Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center and the ice skating in Central park, just magical. It is truly what Christmas looks like to me and I can't wait! We are going to do our Christmas shopping there too! Nothing is more fun than getting random fun gifts for friends and family that can't be found anywhere else. Other than shopping we are going to see the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, Ground Zero and best of all Macy's :)
Other than that, I have started to think about where we are going when we go to Europe. The idea here is to travel before we settle down and get married. After we get married we are going to be more settled but I'm sure we will still go and travel a bit but going to Europe takes a lot of money and time. It won't happen often so we are hoping to make the best of it. We will miss our babies but when else will we be able to go to Europe without worrying about our kids?
Regarding our babies (dogs), they are doing great. Bear is being very good but Blue is a little terror. Blue has his little ways of telling us he is upset, like when we close the door to the restroom he will find the rugs from the other restroom and take them into the living room or hallway... He does have his sweet side and he loves to snuggle but they enjoy sleeping on our Queen size bed with us and a German Shepard and Lab end up taking about half the bed, Blue is getting so big! We are trying to train them to not sleep on the bed with us but it's so hard to kick them to the floor when they look so cute!
Jose and I are both grateful that we still have a job and are able to make our bills but I have started to pay off school loans so that makes things a bit tight. We're making it through, thank you Lord. he finds ways of helping us out when we need it most so we know that we will be taken care of. We hope that Jose's parent's are able to move in with us soon but we are happy to have a roof over our head and food on the table. In times like these we need to make sure and just be grateful.
That pretty much sums it up... I pray all of you will not have too many troubles during this time and can try and enjoy the idea we are living in a historic time. I still can't believe Obama is president, it hasn't hit me yet :) I hope all goes well within the next couple of weeks and the people who are losing their livelihood will be helped.
Live, Laugh, Love
