Hello my friends! Today is a day of mixed emotions... I am so thankful that I have one more day with my wonderful husband, Eric... And at the same time I am so sad because I know our days are limited...
Today started out normal... Zack off to school and Eric and I vegging around the house. I have to say its been so nice having him home with me these past couple of weeks. He had to leave for a bit in the morning to do a send off to some of our soldiers who had to leave today on their flight to Iraq. Safe travels to all our friends who had to leave today! After Eric got home, we fixed ourselves some breakfast and just started to lay around and be bored. One advantage we have of living in Alaska is when our pay hits our bank, which is in the south, it is still early in the day here!! Woo hoo!! Eric said we could go shopping!
Eric and I drove over to Sports Authority to check out the prices on a recumbent bike... I want one to start my exercise regiment! And it was such a great surprise when we got there and one of the bikes was on sale for $249... Thats a whole $200 cheaper then the P/X we had priced a few weeks ago... Needless to say it was loaded into the trunk of the car!! Then we went to a used store called Used a Bit... Very cute... bought Zack some books. He is doing so good with his reading!! I am so proud of him and have no problem buying him books!
Anyway, after we got Zack we went to the grocery store... got the usual... milk, bread, cereal... couldn't decide what to have for dinner... Then Zack says we should have Chinese... Well... There you go!! We had a nice dinner at our favorite Chinese Buffet. Before we went, Eric and Zack were upstairs in the spare bedroom... we are turning it into the home gym... So excited for that!! Tomorrow Eric says we can go back and get a treadmill they have on sale for $299... Can't beat that!!! I get to spend tonight working up a chart... When Eric leaves he will be 4023 miles from me... So I've decided over the next year I am going to walk to him... That means that I need to average 15 miles a day on my treadmill... Gonna be hard to start off but I think as time and the weight go by and bye... I can get it done!! Fingers crossed!!!
Well, tomorrow starts the first day of my new life and lifestyle as far as my weight... Going in for my first weigh in with a nutritionist... Fingers crossed it won't be too bad!!! Hope you all have a great night and an even better day!!

What a fantastic day I had today... My dear husband let me sleep in until 10 am this morning... It felt so good. Haven't been getting too much sleep lately... I think its nerves and stress from Eric leaving... Doing my best enjoying every minute I have with him right now!
We spent the morning emptying out some boxes and moving some stuff around and then he took me to lunch and to Barnes and Noble... I actually took him to Barnes and Noble, but I walked out with 3 new books and him nothing... He then brought me home and went to pick Zack up from school... I wasn't feeling very well so wanted to sit down and relax for a bit. And it was nice and quiet... Then Zack came home... Good thing I was awake to catch the book bag flying at my head when he walked in the door...
We had a good time going over to some friend's house for a bit... Just moved unto base so we went to find their house... Zack and I were invited over next Sunday to watch the Super Bowl game with them... I do believe we will be going! I like football and will give us a chance to get out of the house so soon after Eric leaves!
We then took Eric out to dinner... Wanted him to choose someplace he wanted to eat... anywhere at all... He picked Big Daddy's BBQ... Do you watch Food Network? Guy Fieri and Diners, Drive Ins and Dives?... Well, if you don't you should, then you could see the good yummy food they serve... It was so good and I was a good girl and ate my side salad first and ordered the chicken plate... and then only ate half of the breast that they gave me and gave my wing to Eric...
It was a very good day! I love days like this... Days where you can just have a good time, even if your sitting in the quiet enjoying each other! I can't wait for him to get back home where he belongs!!!
Night all!
