I Live in Vegas

Wow, it has been a crazy couple of days!

Saturday LuAnn and I flew with the twins from Salt Lake to Vegas. I was expecting it to be stressful and traumatic for the boys, but they were such super-stars! They slept the first 15 minutes and were happy for the rest of the flight. I couldn't ask for more perfect boys. We spent the weekend cleaning and unpacking like mad. Where did all of this stuff come from! I don't remember it feeling like we had so much stuff when we were packing. But pulling it all out, trying to figure out where to put it all and cleaning all the dishes, etc. LUCKILY, we had Byron and LuAnn here to help for the first couple of days. Not gonna lie, I was so overwhelmed at first. I just didn't know where to start. But Byron and LuAnn worked like a tornado and made everything come together. THANK YOU!! I bawled like a baby when we left them at the airport.

Last night Bradley and I scrubbed the kitchen floor for two hours. It was soooooo dirty!! just walking on it in bare feet for 10 minutes I'd have black feet. But now it's squeaky clean. But cleaning those floors made me wonder, how do baseboards get so stinking dirty?? Who's hanging out THAT close to the wall THAT often?? Annoying.

So we're all settled in and loving our new house. We'll see how the next 4 years go...

I've Succumbed

I have officially succumbed to family pressure - the next step above peer pressure. Brittany and Ben started doing the Game On diet and tried recruiting the rest of the family. But I held strong. My mom was the next to go. Then, talking to my dad yesterday, even HE has started the new dieter lifestyle and has lost 15 pounds in just over a month. So, today is day one. I just finished a whole cucumber. Luckily I like cucumbers. I like all vegetables, in fact. Otherwise I'd be really depressed right now.

But really, I'm actually excited about this diet. I have 15 pregnancy pounds to lose and they just haven't slipped off of my body with no effort on my part, like I was hoping. So now I'm trying a new and completely original approach. Eating well and exercising. I think it will revolutionize my lifestyle. My parents say that Brittany is a new woman - both she and Ben look better than the day they got married. And my dad is super trim now. And, sorry mom, but she's always a skinny-minnie, so she's still just in perfect shape. Poor Mom.

My goal - to be like Jenna. Except I can't find the part of this diet that actually makes you younger. Not just look better, but actually GET YOUNGER. Don't get me wrong, I'm still pretty young. But where did all of my energy go? You'd think I was an 85 year old woman. So I'm hoping this diet can shift me back to being 16 again...

So for all to see - 6 months post-partum, 147 lbs... I'll keep you updated...
