First camping trip...

So on Friday afternoon Dave pulled our trailer around so we could clean it and get it ready for summer! Well it was calling to us and we just HAD to see if we could find someone to cover for us on Saturday and to our surprise someone could! So we got the trailer all ready and got packed in about 2 hours then headed to Grantsville to do some camping. It was such a nice night, not too cold and we got to have a campfire. We were excited what was supposed to be an AWESOME day on Saturday so we can go do some fishing and ride the ranger. We got to ride the ranger, but couldn't fish because the wind was blowing SO FREAKIN BAD!! We thought that it would go away but it just kept getting worse and worse so we decided that we didn't want to stay Saturday night and have to sit in the trailer all night so we packed up and left at about 3:45 or 4:00. It was nice to get away from the house and go do what we do best. On our way home we got detoured by the police and didnt' know why till later that night. One of our good friends and dave's co-worker at uhaul had gotten the news that one of his cousins that he was really close to had gotten in a head on collision and had died at the scene. She was only 23 and the people with her who also died were 18 and 20 I believe. It was not their fault which makes this tragedy even more horrible.That was the reason for the detour :(. Dave and I would like to express our deepest codolences to Cody and his family. I hope they are able to get through this rough time.

Time for some weight loss

so..... I finally got a treadmill :). Got it a week ago and it has actually been used instead of just collecting dust. I am sooo out of shape and knew that to begin with but running or walking on this thing made me realize just how out of shape I am. I started off slow only walking 15 mins and jogging for like 5 (I know pathetic huh?), and during that time I only went 1 mile and lost 100 calories. Well last night I jogged and walked for a half hour and went 2.3 miles and did more of an inlcine, and lost 300 calories. YAY!!! I will reach my weight loss goal and get in shape for hunting season if it kills me. I want to be able to feel comfortable wearing shorts and tight shirts. I wear tight shirts now, but feel really fat in them :(. So since summer is just right around the corner I am going to progressively walk more miles and actually run most the time instead of walk. I haven't been eating as much as I usually do which should help too. Dave said he will get me some weights to start lifting when I am on the treadmill too, so I can get rid of my flabby arms. If anyone has any advice it is much appreciated. Wish me luck!!

Kindergarten.... already!?!

Okay so today in the mail I got the registration for Kruz to start kindergarten...AHHHH!!! I know he is getting older everyday, you can tell in his face and his little attitude of wanting to to everything himself... but kindergarten already???? I am having a really hard time with this, I knew it was coming and at first I was excited by the idea, but now I feel like crying! He is going to start school August 4th after he finishes their tests that they give the kids before they enter kindergarten. He is such a smart kid(and I am not just saying that cause I am his mom). He can write and spell his name, he knows every shape, color, number(well not every #), but he also knows his phone number and address... most kids his age do NOT know that :) so yeah I have a genius as a son... must take after his mom LOL!!! This event just makes me realize that my baby is not really a baby anymore, and that breaks my heart . Time to have another one :) hopefully a girl this time. Better tell Dave to step on it! Well hope all the 3 peole that read this are having a great day.
