The Holidays will soon be here

Well this is gonna be short. Alexa and I just got over a virus and are still getting over the congestion and sinus stuff. School is going good. Only 3 weeks until finals and then were on our way to MO for the holidays. We are so very excited. I do hope for some snow while were there. My youngest Madisyn and Alexa have never got go sledding or make a snowman, cause each year when we were leaving to come back to FL, it would snow and we weren't around to enjoy it. Well the temp is getting chilly here in JAX FL. 29 degrees! And I have to say I am loving it. Its beginning to feel alot like Christmas now. We have our Christmas Tree up in our house and we decorated our outside with lights and put our blow up santa globe out in our yard. So we really are ready for Christmas. I just love driving through our neighborhood when I am coming home from class and seeing all the lights and then seeing ours all bright and pretty. This is my favorite time of year. I listen to the Christmas station in the car when I everywhere now and the girls and I sing Christmas songs alot. Anyhow, I gotta run, but we are really looking forward to the holidays this year. We get to spend Christmas and New Years with family and friends. ITS GONNA BE GREAT!

Trying something new

Well as of today, I am trying a new way of losing weight. I just signed up for Calorie Count food log. I will enter all the foods I eat today. Plus I am gonna cut out all foods after 7pm. Night snacking is such a bad habit, because I go to class M-F every week, and when I come home, I usually sit in front of the computer doing my homework or looking around on facebook. One of my main problems is not the food so much, but its the exercising. I have a tredmil and I've downloaded a couple Taebo videos, but I get bored with them or sometimes just don't feel like doing them. Therefore I don't get much exercise being a stay home mom, other then my normal household chores. Alexa and I try to get out and walk and she helps me clean around the house. She is my motivation during the day, since shes the only one home with me for now. I was talking to my husband last night and we agreed if I was working a real job other then being home, I would probably be more active, but its not a option for now. When she starts Pre-School next fall, that's when I will start looking for a job outside of the home. I will graduate Dec 2011 with my CMA/RMA and my Associates degree in Science, so I am hoping to find a medical job and a good extern to go to next fall as well.
Ok so back to my weight loss, Well all I can do now is ask god to be with me and help me to stay true to this way of life. When we went grocery shopping yesterday, we got lots of healthy foods, minus some snacks for the girls, but otherwise health. So I am anxious to find some health recipes to cook for my family. My family is very picky when it comes to food, so its hard to just make one thing and everyone like it..lol Well pray for me as I start this new journey in my life. If anyone has any exercising programs or recipes to share I would love to hear what you all do for your motivation.

So much going on, but its been GREAT!

So wow, its been quite awhile since I wrote on here. I thought I would start updating on here again. Well to start, I wanted to say today is Jeremy and I's 5 YEAR Wedding Anniversary today! We've definitely been through so much together, but each day makes us stronger. I love you Jeremy Christopher Williams.

Ok well to update alittle over the summer and the beginning of fall: Well we had my parents, Jeremy's parents, and one of my best friends to come and visit us over the summer. It was so nice to see familiar faces. We also got to visit Daytona Beach for the first time. It was so Beautiful! Also St. Augstine as well. But we've been there a few times before.

This Fall Christa started 3rd Grade and Madisyn started Kindergarten! I still can't believe Maddi is in big school already. I look at her and still want her to be my little Maddi bug =( Shes growing up soo fast and is learning so much. She tries to keep up with Christa, as much as she can. Now Christa on the other hand, shes doing ok in school. She is finding out that 3rd Grade isn't as easy as 1st and 2nd Grade...and me well I'm getting to know a certain 8 year old attitude this year too...lol

I am currently still in college and have 1 year under my belt! This past Oct, marked a year that I had been attending Virginia College. I am still working towards my Certified Medical Assistant and also my Associates degree in Science. I learned that I can draw blood and giving injections last term, when I had my labs. This term I am learning suturing, sanitizing tools, and EKGs so far...so much more to learn. Also taking my first class towards my Associates degree: English Comp I. I was nervous going into it, but soon learned that I am doing good. The other night we had to write a narrative essay that was 400 words. I wrote about Cheerleading Tryouts, being that I was a cheerleader my Sophomore through Senior years in High School. I thought to myself it was one of my best papers. Well we had our rough draft due last week and one of our copies went to our teacher and the others to students in the class. We were to proof-read and edit everyone paper. So towards the end of class, our teacher stood up and said there were 2 students, me and Warren whose essay had little to no errors and was exactly what he was looking for. He told me to come and read my essay to the class. I was honored and alittle nervous. I then realized that I am good writer. I use to love writing poems in high school, but never really thought essays would be this fun to write. I actually enjoy writing them! Anyhow that made my night. Also I recently join my college's Student Council. I met all the requirements and since my GPA was great that helped alot too. I also made the Dean's List for list term, because I had 2 A's and a B. So definitely school has been going REALLY GREAT for me! I am so proud myself.

My little Alexa stays home with me during the day and we try to keep each other busy. She is soo ready for Preschool. Its a shame that her birthday falls at the end of Sept, because she just turned 4 and wants to start school like her 2 big sisters. Well I tell her soon enough she will be in school. But in my thoughts, I think "SLOW DOWN, all my babies are growing up too fast for me. But I am proud of all 3 of my girls. They even help me stay on top of things, by asking me if I have homework or if I have tests that day. All in All, things seem to be going good. We just got news that we will be in our hometown for Christmas and New Years this year. So we are pretty excited about the holidays. Wish they would hurry up. I miss my family and friends back home ALOT. But the Navy has done alot for my family and Jeremy has been working hard to keep us going. Living on one income for now, its not the easiest thing, but we get by. Well I am gonna go for now. Oh and I guess I'll mention that in a few weeks I'm gonna be 30. Not sure how I feel about it, but I guess I gotta say goodbye to my 20's =(

PS I'm reading the "Twilight saga "Breaking Dawn" now, so I thought this back ground would fit! I love this book and I can't wait to see the movie!
