Weekends

Hi everyone!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. It's been a busy couple of weeks (everybody uses that as their excuse, right?) and I haven't had much to say. But this weekend has been wonderful and I want to brag about it.

I love the weekends, for obvious reasons, but the past two days were especially great. Chris and I haven't really done anything that exciting. We took Moe to go get a bath, ran errands, worked outside in the yard, and made homemade fondue. He had today off, which is rare on Sundays, so we took advantage of our extra time together to do grown-up things like shop around town for an area rug and pull weed barrier fabric out of our garden plot. I love that it's the seemingly boring, everyday things that make being married so fun. I also got to spend time with friends last night and we ate a yummy steak lunch with family this afternoon, so those were just bonuses to an already great couple of days.

I know this post isn't much. I just want to express how thankful and happy I am that this weekend was full of laughter and productivity. I think we're kind of getting the hang of this whole adulthood thing. We've got to be if we think wandering around town looking at area rug prices is fun, right?

Speaking of adulthood, a quick update about weight loss stuff: I got some blood work done last Friday and I go in for a follow-up appointment next Friday (I think?). So far I've lost about 5 pounds this month, which isn't too shabby considering some days I really screw up my calorie count and I haven't been exercising regularly. That's about to change, though, because Chris is teaming up with me and we are starting an exercise routine together tomorrow morning. It will just be walking and light weight training at first, but I'm so happy he's doing it with me! He wrote the plan himself and put the schedule on a big fridge calendar, so I guess that means he's pretty serious. Hopefully this will be another push I need in the right direction. I think doing it with someone else instead of doing it alone is going to be infinitely more enjoyable :)
