YIKES

as in YIKES it's been a super long time since I've updated! News of late: I finally decided enough was enough and to really commit to losing weight and having a more healthy lifestyle. Which, unfortunately means that I gave up diet coke. Probably not forever but I hope to only drink it in a moderate way in the future. This will be a HUGE challenge for me so we'll see how it goes. I'm in my last semester of school with only 7 more weeks left. It's kinda intimidating but John and I are thinking that I'll just open my own little business of massage in my basement for family and friends and such. It should make things a little easier and then I can have babies! haha

This seems like such a busy year, finishing school, I have my sister-in-law's wedding in May and then my renewal ceremony in September which I'm really looking forward to being over. :) Then I just have my friend's wedding next april and I feel like most of the excitement in my life will be done until we have children. John and mine's initial goal of going to Europe for a month or so probably won't happen but we might go out for a week or two in a year or so.

I've been going to church again, which still feels weird but really good at the same time. It's nice to not be around a bunch of hypocrites for once. I'm working on using my faith in a grace AND truth sort of way. I also joined a bible study through my church called The Excellent Wife study. It's about, wait for it....how to be an excellent wife! I'm finding it helpful.

Spring break was awesome but I never ended up getting together with Alex or Ruth- :( Maybe some time this weekend....? John has guard so I'm pretty free.
