Wow! After writing my title I realized I have to start planning for the holidays. They are right around the corner! I didn't realize I had Columbus Day off until right before I went to bed last night. What a blessing-I need to get ready to go camping this weekend.
Since my last post, Jim did buy a new vehicle. He finally has his pick up truck-a 2008 Chevy Silverado, grey, extended cab. He feels very manly driving it! Nate is now driving the Jeep back and forth to school-not work as he has no job yet! We also got our living room put back together with the new entertainment console and tv all hooked up. Last weekend Jim and Nate moved our beast of an entertainment center down to the basement. The movers that brought it told me it wouldn't fit down there, but it did (barely). I put that all back together last week. What a big job that all turned out to be! I spent most of the day vacuuming and mopping floors yesterday. The floors I had done right after we put Belle down were still pretty clean. That dog shed so bad, and I'm not missing that! Jim ordered some new guns from Cabelas. Noah said he hit the redneck trifecta-big screen tv, pick up truck, and guns. He got a $150 gift card for doing so, which he gave to me. I used it to buy a new winter coat and boots (and had enough left over for a raincoat on clearance). That is the great thing about losing so much weight-you need ALL new clothes. I hit my goal weight the other day, and then went a pound lighter the next (68 lbs in all). I'm just going to continue to do what I'm doing and see where I wind up. God knows what weight I'm supposed to be. Jim is working nights this week. He isn't adjusting well, so camping will probably be a bummer with him trying to bounce back to days. TBH is going well-I'm less nervous each time. Yesterday I asked my neighbor to show me how to hem something. I bought a top for Christmas that I got cheap because the hem was falling out. She graciously hemmed it on her machine for me and it turned out beautiful! Noah will be home for fall break this weekend and I want to take our Christmas picture while he is here.
Well that better be all for this update. It is getting late and I have things I need to get done.
