IT'S A BOY!

You read it here 1st! I have just found out that Caryl and I will be blessed with a bouncing baby boy during the start of the new year! I am so excited. I knew ahead of time what it would be, though. I saw a sign. Caryl and I were about to turn off the highway on the exit ramp to the doc's office and a car passed by whose last 3 digits of the license plate red ---BOY. I told Caryl that it was a sign, and she was like, (shit!) under her breath. Then the Doc had the ultrasound machine up and said, "so, can you tell what sex the baby is? Well, this is one leg, this is another leg, I bet you can guess what this is!" Woohooo! I'm excited can't you tell?! That's it for now, just had to blurt that out. TTYL, as they say~~

Back from the lake

Well, got back from the Lake of the Ozarks this weekend. My dad owns a condo their so we went for some boating fun! I've uploaded some pics on the slide show. I hope you like.
We finally got a bid from a contracter to finish the addition part of our house...yikes, it was $1500 more than we had planned. I have no idea where we're gonna come up with that kinda money. The guy says he could have the framing done and have us under roof by next weekend! That will be so nice.
I also would like to place my personal congrats to the Binning family! I am so happy for you guys! A lot of work, love, and patience awaits. Oh yeah, and blood, tears, and head aches, will be prolific, too! I the positives DO outweigh the negetives, though. A growing family is a happy family! And all those other proverbish sayings, but simply put...Congratulations!
Well, I think thats it from my little corner of the world. Blog @ u l8er ;~P

just another day

Just another day. Nothing special just sitting inbetween classes and thought i'd blog a bit. Let's see... what to blog about...oh, yeah, this weekend, I will leaving Caryl at home, and taking Sophia to the Lake of the Ozarks! My dad owns a condo just up the beach from Brad Pitt's mansion. My brother and his family, my dad and stepmom, Sophie, and I will be boating and playing in paradise while Caryl sits at home with her nose in a book! She really needs the time to study and having a weekend to herself will definately do wonders for her nerves. Besides, she can't stand my family anyway ;~) Just kidding.
And in regards to the weight loss announcements. I'm currently hovering at same weight
(207 lbs) for the past couple of weeks :~( but hey, at least I'm not gaining weight, right! I refuse to allow myself to go back to the way I was. Things are so much better now, and can only get better as the weight continues to come off. Not only for my self esteam, but also my persumptions of how others see me, as well as, my over health and abilities. One of the goals I have is to defeat the most embarrassing moment of my life. Several years ago, I went to Six Flags, and stood in line to ride my favorite ride (batman) and to my embarrassment, when I got to the seat in the front row (which is a must for this ride), I couldn't fit in the seat. Can you imagine trying to squeeze into a seat and having the employees try to push/stand on the harness to try and make me fit. I was devistated. I never realized how big I was until that day, and I hadn't been back since. Amazingly enough, it took several more years before I did anything about it. I am quite sure that my size is not an issue as far as this scenario is concerned, but I want to make sure of that. So my goal is that by next summer I will go to Six Flags, I will wait in line to ride in the front row of seats, and I will ride batman again! Wow, I think I just teared up a little there. I hope that some of you will be able to join me. I have no idea where whole rant came from. I just started typing and this kinda fell out. Pardon my emotional outburst please :~)
I'm procrastinating again. I should be working on science homework, but the excuse to blog was to readily accessible. I should probably get going. I'll chat @ you later!
