Catching up again!

Yes, It has been awhile and I know I promised that I would keep up on the blog but man has life been nuts. Josh still isn't back to work which is really starting to hurt the pocket book. My dad and mom both said they are prepared if we need to move in. I have such great parents! Hopefully that won't need to happen so keep your fingers crossed he is back to work soon. Summer is the worst time to be poor. SO many fun things to do but no money to do it with. My wonderful mother and step-father are taking the entire family to Lake Tahoe for a week in June. I can't wait. The lake in Tahoe is beautiful and Derek is stationed out there so it is a two for one deal. Dan will drive in from Cali to meet us there.

Kampsnider family reunion is in July so hopefully we will be able to make it there. It is so nice being able to see everyone. Since our last reunion cousins have gotten married, pregnant, and had children. It is amazing what can happen in a year.

So as you all know I have been dieting pretty hard and have lost 15 lbs. I am actually really suprised how much self control and descipline I have. Its funny cause I make myself a really healthy dinner with meat and veggies for me and then something a little more appetizing for Josh and Alyssah. They are then picking off my plate (when I hardly have anything to eat anyway). I hadn't realized that me eating healthy would influence them. I am excited to be able to cook family meals again that are healthy and not feel compromised. And yes, Justin and Tiff, organic tastes much better. Yes it is expensive but it is worth it. The first week I ate all organic. With the lack of funds I have resorted back to non organic and I am really lacking energy. Organic food has such a better taste and just makes you feel better. I have a new love for Sunflower Market.
