OOPS!

I kind of sort of forgot to update this last week. It was a super busy week for me, though. The boys were in Magrath with John's parents, and I did a lot of painting. It was a lot of work, but I'm really happy with the results. The boys got back home on Saturday and our niece, Lyssa, as well. She's staying with us for the week. Caleb was so awful in church on Sunday. And he won't be in church in our own ward for the next two Sundays, so that probably won't help matters. Oh well, at least he's really enjoying having Lyssa here. And he now sings I Am A Child Of God, it's SO cute. It's so hard to believe that in just over 2 months he will be 3.

We went to see Harry Potter on Saturday, and I loved it. It's definately the best one yet. By the time we got home from the theatre, the storm was in full swing. It was crazy. On the way to church in the morning we were surrounded by broken trees, a fence that lost part of itself and an apartment building that lost quite a few shingles off of the roof. One of the trees at our meetinghouse came up with the roots. Definately not normal weather for Edmonton, but I'm do glad it didn't do any more damage than that.

Now today is going to be preparing for our next adventure. This weekend is Magrath Days, so we'll be heading down there after John's done work tomorrow. And tomorrow is his birthday, so that's exciting. He'll be 33, which is still fairly young, but old for me (since I'm still 24). It's kind of nice being married to someone that much older than me, it helps me to feel young:P Anyways, John is such an amazing husband. He works all day and comes home to help me with the boys. If I'm not feeling well then he'll make supper for us. He helps me 'try' to keep the house clean. He tells me that he loves me several times a day. He has done almost every single night time feeding for both of our boys. He is such a wonderful man, and I am so blessed to be his eternal companion. I LOVE YOU, JOHN!

The Verdict

My OB/GYN has put me on thyroid medication. It's meds for life. It sounds like a bad thing, but I'm just so glad to know what's wrong and to have a way of dealing with it. The meds have kicked in already and I'm feeling so much better. Yesterday I was a cleaning machine. I'm hoping to get a lot done today as well.

Our family photos went really well, she got some really cute ones. As soon as I have them I'll post a couple on here and a bunch on Facebook.

On Friday, John and I went and did temple work for my dad's parents. It was really nice to do a session again and to see John in the Celestial Room again (I think the last time was a couple weeks after Caleb was born). Next month we'll do the work for my grandmere's parents, I think.
Not too much else is new here, other than I'm still exercising and still losing weight, HORRAY! I hope you all have a wonderful week:)

Pounds Are Dropping, YAY!

So I've been trying to eat better lately, and I've started exercising again, and it's paying off. I am now 160.9 lbs. I know it sounds like a lot, but I'm so happy to be below 175 again, it's been a long time. We didn't do much for Canada Day today. John helped a family load up their U-Haul to move to Calgary and then we went and got groceries. We all had a super long afternoon nap and then I made supper. I tried some new recipes from 30 Minute Meals, and they were really good. We will definately be having them again, that's for sure. I made Calzone Rolls, Roasted Garlic Romaine Salad and then for dessert we had Angel Food Cake with real Whipped Cream, Toasted Almonds, Raspberries and Blueberries. Super yummy! Then we played with the boys for a while before bedtime. I read to Caleb (we're reading The Little Prince right now) and now I'm just catching up on here before John and I go watch some Stargate Atlantis. Ha ha, he's turned me into such a geek. We are having family pictures taken this coming Saturday, which I'm very excited about. Tomorrow I meet with my OB/GYN to get my Thyroid test results. Hopefully we can figure out what's wrong with me soon. Anyways, that's about all that's new here, just looking forward to having only 2 Sundays left before our Primary President gets back. Hope you all had a great Canada Day!!!

PS
Yes, I understood what you were saying, Christal. Don't worry, I type tired all the time too, ha ha. And to the anonymous person who responded to my last post, thank you so much, your comment really brightened up my day for me.
