Where have I been the past few months? Well, this is Idaho, and it is winter, so believe it or not, I've been cooped up in the house. Reading books, watching old movies, and for the past couple weeks exercising!
I have a goal to lose at least 30 pounds this year. I've joined a group of ladies in my ward who walk 3 miles every morning (5 days a week, M-F) and lift weights immediately after on Tuesday and Thursday (our whole stake is invited to that). I hope going from nothing to this will be a big improvement. It has already helped my mood a ton. January always makes me so stir-crazy. I'm usually broke after Christmas, thus I don't leave the house much. I feel like everyday is the same, and there is nothing to look forward to, and I just get down and sad/grouchy. So I am LOVING the happier mind-set exercise gives me, and I'm sure my family is too.
We are going to do a complete overhaul on our upstairs bathroom when we get our tax return back. (Since we incorporated in 2008 we had to pay 90% of Adam and Heather Hayes' AHFX 2007 earned income AND AH Digital FX Studios Inc., so this years return should be a good one)
Our bathroom is straight out of the 70's from baby blue sink, toilet, and tub to the blue plaid carpet. Yeah, gross, I know. So all new everything, even cabinetry. Yes, the carpet is going, it will be replaced with: most likely tile. Post on the comment section the likes and dislikes of all your flooring and counter tops. We are leaning towards tile floors and granite counter tops. (Is tile to hard and cold on your feet and does granite show too many splatters and fingerprints?) We will do before and after pictures of it.
We'll be adding more toys to our swingset, and hopefully... laying some cement for a basketball/volleyball court. It should be a fun, busy year!
