Cooking/Weight control/Finances

So, there hasn't been a whole lot going on. We are finally being better with our money and learning how to manage it better, which is great now we can climb out of this hole we are in. Even through it all we love each other and are willing to work on this together we didn't let finances get the best of us. I feel like I am emotionally feeling better which is great because I was a sad person for a long time I hid it well right? LOL!

I have learned to cook in my crock pot and I love it know!!!( I know what you are thinking its easy to use,) well when I got it for my wedding I didn't really look at it so I thought it was going to be this long process of finding the right temp and screwing it up because I cooked it too long or we get sick because I cooked it too short of time. Its all good all it is two buttons and your done and you go about your day. Its great for sure!! The more I look at things and kinda play around with them the better I get at it, well cooking. I am addicted to it which my husband loves and hates. Love because he gets good food and hates because we go to the store a lot to get this and that which can be expensive oops!! I am sure he can live as long as I am feeding him right? ;)

Now about weight loss, I think I am at a total loss because I just simply can't put food down and only eat little portions. I also love certain foods and when I stop eating them I am sad which makes me come back and eat them anyway. Exercise I am trying to go but it gets hard because I don't want to go plain and simple and I really don't want to go by myself which sometimes I have to because I have to work when Andrew is off. It kinda sucks. I just need discipline and I don't have it. Andrew tries but I get mad because he tells me no and he gets mad because he is only trying to help and that's how we end. I just think that I will stay fat forever!! I need advise I guess. Anyone?? That's it for today....

First off I want to say sorry. I have been really lazy with not updating my blog. I promise I will try and update it every week. I don't have any excuses. LOL! Well first off Andrew and I are still working at our jobs so, that is good that there hasn't been any lay offs for us. Andrew is getting ready for school. He applied to the "U" about a month ago and has not received anything saying yes or no yet. We have been annoyed because it is taking so long, but I am sure that he will be accepted because he has good grades and all that jazz. ;) The 4Th of July was great for us! We spent the day in Layton which is were my family lives. We started the day with parade which my brother was in because he is on the football team for Northridge. So, it was nice to see him and watch all the other floats. Then we have a table we save every year by the playground(so that the kids can play and we can keep an eye on them.) so we walked over there and visited till dinner time and we had chicken like we always do. I love our tradition in makes me so happy to be able to see everyone I don't see as often as I would like. After we eat and visit some more we walk back to my grandma's visit more LOL and then watch the fireworks! We can see the fireworks from my grandma's front yard which is great because we don't have to walk back and do fireworks at home, But that was my wonderful holiday!

Some of the other things that we have done are hiking. Andrew is a big outdoors guy and hiking is what he like to do the most. We hike to see all these awesome waterfalls, waterfalls are his passion. He has hiked to about 50 waterfalls no joke. I have seen a few with him, but I need to get into better shape to get up some of those mountains so he takes me to the ones that are medium, not strenuous. Its so fun when we go though, I feel closer to Andrew because we are doing what we loves, just like I am sure he feels the same when we do what I love. I am glad that have a sweet and passionate husband it makes life fun and interesting. ;) This is all I have for now. I hope that you enjoyed some of our adventures.
