Catching Up

So I have been transitioning with my work schedule (transferred to a new location) and I am back in the swing of things. Today, I'm working on the blogs!! Yeah!!! Can you believe the summer is almost over? I can't. This time of year is when time really starts to fly. We are approaching the holidays and before you know it we will be talking about New Year's resolutions again.

Well this year, 2008, is my last year of "dieting." I resolved at the beginning of the year to get this thing done and I'm determined to do it. I'm planning to hit my goal by October or November and then it's maintenance from there on out! Yesterday, my husband and I went cycling and we had a good time. It's a great way to stay active through the fall without getting bored. Plus, I can run errands and be active at the same time ....that's a win-win.

Other than the usual weight-loss journey, we're still celebrating our marriage. A few weeks ago we attended the couple's retreat from our church. It's was fantastic. Once again, we've bonded with couples from our church and really extended our true church family. It's wonderful having such a bond with these families. They pour their spiritual lessons into us and vice versa. If you're married, and don't already, I really recommend attending one couples retreat a year as preventative divorce medicine. You can never learn too much about God's design on loving one another.

As far as our debt-free living plan we're doing well. Hopefully you're keeping up with the details and lessons on my husband's blog. If not, we've run (literally) into obstacles but nothing we couldn't handle. Our EF has really gotten it's use from our car but we're still staying strong on moving towards paying everything off.

I hope you're keeping up with our newest blog, I'd really appreciate your feedback. Well I'm off to post on that blog too so see ya there!
