My Crazy Life

So hey,

I'm a first time blogger so bear with me. First thing's first, I must tell you about my life and all its craziness.

Oh gosh, I have no idea where to even begin! Let's see...

My husband (Russell) and I are newly married, we still hate eachother as much as we did before we got hitched on August 29th, 2009 and are hoping to hate eachother the same for the next 60 or 70 years. We have 2 small kiddies, Gibson is 4 years and Izaac will be a year old at the end of March (how time flies), a miniature schnauzer, Mac, and a little betta that we call Bumblebee (think Transformers courtesy of our 4 year old).

Our Jobs...

My husband works on a drilling rig and is gone 3 weeks out of the month, which really sucks but it pays the bills. Before I had Izaac I transitioned from being a small motor mechanic to a welder. I miss welding like I miss my husband when he leaves for work. So instead of being a super busy stay-at-home mom, I thought I would be an insanely super-duper crazy busy stay-at-home mom and start a business. I'm kind of a cheeseball so I named it "Wand"erful Life Bouquets, I'm sure you can guess what I do. Artificial Bouquets and such. But I won't linger on that subject.

Housing situation...

I hate my house right now. We rent a townhouse in a pretty quiet little neighborhood, I'm not down with the townhouse though. We don't have a yard, no privacy, and when I say no privacy I mean I can hear my next door neighbor in their bathroom, which is connected to our washroom. There is no parking, no cupboard space or countertops...I mean seriously, this list can go on for days. We recently decided that we were going to look for something else to rent for a little while and within a year or so we are hoping to buy a place in the same area. We actually went and looked at a cute little character home today and I fell in love with it. It is for sale, but we put in an application to rent it with an option to own later. Now it is just a matter of me having to convince my cheapo husband to buy it. We do have a lot of other debt to get out of the way before buying becomes a reality, so for now I will enjoy not having to fix a plugged up toilet or repairing a hole in the roof. I'll let that be the landlord's job.

The Healthy Lifestyle...

Every Friday, I pack up the boys and make a 30 minute drive to the town over to go to a kick ass spin class with my older sister who just happens to be my BFF. The kids play there while we get our asses seriously beaten by a bunch of young little teeny boppers. Now that is sad. As well as spin, I do kickboxing in the privacy of my own home, and have joined all those online sites that count your calories for you. That along with the help of some fellow August '09 Nesties I have learned that planning your meals ahead of time really makes for planning healthier meals.

So far, with all this hard work and serious dedication, I have lost all my baby weight in all of 9 months of our dear little boy being born. YAY ME!!

Okay, okay, okay...

So I think that's enough about me and my craziness for now, I will definitely have so much more to post in the coming days but for now, it's time for this busy bee to get to bed.
