Well, 2008 is almost over, but this has been a great year! To top it off, we just got a new house! My daughter has a ginormous backyard and a full basement for a playroom. The houses in our new neighborhood are adorable and we’re living on a cul-de-sac with no through traffic, so all the children play on the street. Even still, we’re not in a humdrum suburb with cookie-cutter houses—every house is unique and we’re still in downtown. I couldn’t ask for more!

I broke 100lbs!
15 months ago
Instead of putting on weight with calories, I have decided to put on muscle mass. I am lifting weights again, which I love, love, looove, and I have finally broke 100lbs! I am high as a kite. And now it is winter, so maybe I will put on more weight since I won’t be hiking or doing much outdoor activity until the season is over.
