I ran into one of my friends and he looked great. I always remember him being a bit over weight and not caring much about his appearance. He told me that he decided to take better care of himself and began to work out and eat better. He said he found the best weight loss pills and a great group of friends that lost weight with him. This helped with accountability and seemed to really encourage him. I was so glad to run into him and even more glad to see how happy he was and how much he had changed his lifestyle around.
You are probably getting tired of me talking about healthy living, but I can't help it. I remember when I started eating better, working out, etc. it was the best acne treatment I have used. My skin cleared right up and I felt and looked a lot better. I have talked to a lot of my friends that have tried all different types of ways of cleaning up their skin and it always seems that the best way is just taking better care of your body. Maybe I have gone into the wrong field of work since I love talking about health tips so much!
I was just thinking about when I got engaged. I shopped around for rings at all different places and ended up not getting the ring and the diamond at the same time. I got a ring I liked from one store and then looked at loose diamonds instead, since they ended up being cheaper than to buy the ring with the diamond they were selling with it. I ended up getting a great deal on mine and we were very happy with the quality. I wonder if many people go about it the way I did or if they just buy the ring they see in the store?
A relaxing Sunday afternoon started with us eating as a family and then watching the Vikings game. After watching my Vikes whoop up on the Packers, we went shopping for some essentials that we needed. We got lots of food, some clothes for Emry, air filters, and some gas. It is nice to get some of those shopping needs out of the way since we get so busy during the week. We can now just relax the rest of the night, watch the world series, and then get to bed at a decent time.
As our family grows, we start to talk more and more about a family trip. With any trip, we will need quality luggage to pack our family. I have looked at many brands and our current luggage is Eagle Creek luggage. We definitely need a lot more luggage if it is going to fit everyone's stuff though. It is kind of fun shopping for it since there are so many options. We have some time to think about it since we won't be going on vacation any time soon, with the newest addition to our family arriving in less than a month, but we will make some decisions soon.
Yup, we have started looking at houses even though we can't buy one since our current job supplies us with an apartment. It is fun to look at them and start to learn about the buying process before we start. I feel like we have learned a lot about the system, how it works, differences in houses like manufactured homes and other houses. There is so much to know and think about. I think that is why so many people end up getting a house they can't afford or being so discouraged when they start the buying process. I am determined to not let that be us!
Often times, at work, I will get these forms that list a fellow employees name that happens to be going on disability. It gives us the opportunity to give them money out of our pay check or sick time. I am sure they are also applying for social security disability and other ways to make money when they leave their job because of a disability, but it is sure nice that the university also gives all employees the chance to help out their fellow co-workers, as well.
