Another week has started and almost ended

It amazes how fast days go by when you are busy. I had a doctor's appointment Tuesday to check back on some labs for my liver function. I was supposed to start some medication that is filtered through my liver and can be harsh so they wanted to make sure my liver was going to be able to handle it. Instead of finding out how my liver was doing I find out that I am sitting on the line for type 2 diabetes. Teetering so close to having it that they put me on a medication to help. The doctor warned me that the medicine would make me nauseous and upset my stomach and she was SO right. I feel sick all day, UGH! She said after my body gets used to it the side effects will wear off, I am ready for my body to be used to it! Thankfully, I have already changed my eating and living habits since having the blood work done in December. I have already lost 14 lbs since then and started exercising almost everyday! I go back in a couple months to check my levels again and hopefully I will be far far away from that damn line!

In other news... We have our house rented out and I am so excited! We also will be moving in to the apartment that my cousin owns above her house. I am really excited, it means that we will get to see the husband more and I have missed him! And we finally got orders for where we will be moving in June/July and we got our #1 pick!!!! We are heading back home closer to family! I have been researching my butt off trying to find us a house that we can afford and that will take pets. The houses go quick once orders start dropping because everyone wants to secure the home they can see themselves in for 4 years. And I finally found the perfect one!!! I did find 2 and one is $300 less then the other but I just kept going back to the first one I found. I love the house, the layout and the location!!!! After talking to the husband, he said I could go for it if it was the one I wanted, so I contacted the owners and hopefully we can work something out soon!!!! I could not be happier right now!

My mom should be coming down next week to help me pack and get moved. We did hit a snag in our refinance but USAA quickly straightened it out after I freaked out on them. Probably not necessary since they are a great bank but I was upset and we could not afford to have anything get messed up. So we close later then we thought but it will all be done before our tenants move in on March 1st!! I am so excited to get our lives moving, I feel like we have been at a stand still waiting for something to happen since we put out house in the market last year!

I never thought that we would be land lords and the idea is still not the most appealing but I am excited for things to happen. And I am really excited that we rented out our home so quickly, I just pray that it works out well for the family and they want to stay for awhile. Maybe even buy one day!! *Hey a girl can hope ;)*

Busy little life

We have had so much going on these days. Last March my husband's section of the base was moved about 2 hours away. We purchased our home and could not move with everyone else. He has been making that commute and having to stay the night for almost a year. It is so hard to believe that it has almost been a year but if you look at his face and talk to him about his job, you can tell it is really wearing him down. After our home had been on the market for 8 months without a single offer we decided to refinance and look into renting. We were both very scared to be landlords and not sure if we should do it ourselves or get a property manager. In the end we went with a property manager and I am so glad that we did. As of yesterday our house was officially rented out after only being on the rental market for about 2 weeks! I am so relieved and I hope that it works out for us. Now we have about 3 weeks to get out of our house and into another one. Thankfully, my mom came to my rescue and talked to a cousin that has a house with an apartment and she agreed to rent it to us. I was so afraid we were going to have to split our family up. We only have 4 more months left of this tour and no one would rent anything to us knowing we would be leaving in such a short amount of time. I am so happy to cross 2 major stressors off my list. Now if we could just get orders to find out where we will be headed in July I would be one happy lady! Now all we have to do is get our house packed up and everything moved!

First on my agenda tonight, a glass of wine (maybe) and watching some One Tree Hill and doing some reading! Life is so good!

Been absent a little while!

This has already been a bit of a stressful week and we aren't even to Friday yet! I didn't get a chance to weigh in on Tuesday, I had to go grocery shopping, come home get dinner in the crock pot, get lunch made and ate and then me and J headed to a friend's to hang out for a bit. On the way home we stopped and picked up a jogging stroller! I am in love with it! I took it for a spin yesterday and it was great. Although, it is a lot harder to jog while pushing a baby! Here is my awesome stroller:

 The speakers are in between the cup holders. The only thing I would change is having bigger cup holders but they hold a bottle of water, so it's all good! (Boo was doing a safety check!)

The front wheel locks for jogging! J was very secure while we jogged and there was little to no shaking as I jogged! You can unlock the wheel for easier use in stores!

Yesterday I went to a play date and then ran errands. I ate horribly but the play date was fun and I got to hang out with a friend talk! Our house was viewed by a possible renter while we were out and we got positive feedback! I am really hoping that it is going to work out. We really could use some good news regarding our home. This has been such a stressor for us and we have so much other stuff going on. After we got home we went for a jog and then spent about 1 1/2 cuddling and watching tv. It was nice to just relax after I have been running my butt off the last few days! I did have a good dinner but I let my emontional eating habits get the best of me last night and indulged in some not so good snacks. I will have to work really hard to not let that happen again and hopefully burn off what I devoured last night today when I work out.

I did finally get the Wii Fit Plus! N (this is how I will refer to my best friend from now on) traded with me! She had the plus but didn't use it and I had the regular so we switched! I am excited to try it today!
