Down, down down!

I was down .8 today! Almost a whole pound! I really, really hope I make it by my goal date. I'm so excited to start ball dress shopping, for real! I won't even know what size to order! Speaking of, I really need to start working out my arms, tone them up, so they look hot! :) haha

Today was a pretty good day. My hubs worked nights so we got to actually sleep in our bed at the same time last night!! He got up early with G and fed her this morning, then stayed up 'til about 1 before he took a nap until about 5. We watched the movie Hall Pass before Justin went to work, it was pretty funny. He went to work tonight and will get off at 7am tomorrow. He also starts his new crew/job tonight. I think he was looking forward to it! :) I babysat for my niece and nephew again this afternoon. G hung out with her nana and pawpa tonight while I went for a bike ride with my SIL. We only went 3.5 miles because it was pretty chilly and windy by the time we got to go. I can't believe how GREAT this weather has been!!!!!! I looveeeee fall!! :)

I actually have NOTHING planned for tomorrow! It's kinda nice! Hopefully I'll get a chance to work on some bows for Traci and maybe some more for G, too. But other than that, I think it will be great to not have to do much at all. I see jammies & naps (hopefully!) in our future tomorrow!! :) Have I mentioned how much I LOVE being a SAHM lately?? :) I really, really do.

So, I've been looking into going back to school (can't remember if I mentioned that before or not). We had been looking/discussing other options besides the AD thing, in case it doesn't pan out. I was looking into K-State so we could move back to Manhattan. I e-mailed the admissions dept and got an e-mail back yesterday. The guy who sent it said that I would have to be approved by the board to attend (because of my GPA) or if I wasn't planning to attend until at least next fall, I could take a few classes through Hutch (where I went before) and try to get my GPA up so it wouldn't be an issue. I looked into Hutch tonight, and checked out (again) my embarrassing transcript, but I think I should be good to get back into classes at Hutch. I did e-mail them, so we'll see what they say. I also think that I'm only 2 classes (6 credit hours) away from having my associates degree. That was kind of exciting to see, but also made me kick myself for not doing better before and just getting it done! Especially because I could've done it while my mom was still here and made her proud..... So we'll see what they say and if I am correct on that. I'm kind of hoping maybe I can take the 2 classes I need online, but we'll see. I sure wish I would've taken school more seriously then.... But, I just wasn't into it. I HATED school (still not real fond of it now) and I didn't want to go to college, but I didn't have a good enough reason not to at the time, so I "had" to. I just think if I would've waited and gone when I was ready, I would've done a lot better... but it was a learning experience! Haha! Hopefully I can get it all straightened out. I figure if I can do what I need to get my GPA where it needs to be, then even if I don't go to K-state or go anywhere in the immediate near future, it will make it a lot easier later when I do.

Well, not much else to report on now. Only 1 more day stands in the way of my perfect weekend with my husband and baby girl!! I can't wait! :) I think we decided we're going to go to the fair (again) on Friday afternoon after Justin gets up, since he will have gotten off work at 7am Fri, and walk around since he hasn't been yet. My SIL Hollie asked to watch Griffyn on Saturday evening. She has been wanting to keep Griffyn so my niece Shealeigh can play with her, and when I watched the kids on Monday, she asked if she could watch her on Saturday for awhile, so I told Justin that and we decided  to make plans to go to the fair with some friends and hang out for the evening. Should be a good time! I was just telling my other SIL Nicole tonight that I hate asking people to watch Griffyn, even though there's been only a couple of times I have needed someone to watch her. I hate letting her go, but I also hate asking people because she's OUR child and we're the ones that should be with her. I know Hollie asked if she could keep her, but I just hate to leave her. :( That's why we mostly do stuff as a family because that's what we are! :) We have done very little without her! :) She's part of us now, so where we go, she goes! The grandparents have had to beg to keep her even if Justin and I just hang out at home, just to have "their" time with her. lol But anyway, I'm really looking forward to being able to go with Justin and G this weekend. :)

I guess that's all for tonight! Can't believe it's the middle of September already!!!! Time is just flying by. Griffyn will be 4 MONTHS old this weekend!!! :( Where has the time gone?!?
1. I'm so thankful for the cooler weather!
2. I'm loving how happy and smiley Griffyn always is. She is so much fun!
3. I'm thankful that I am soooo close to goal #2 in my weight loss!! I haven't been down to this weight in over 3 years! It feels sooooooo good! :)
Love
