Catchy Title

So life has just been rolling on along around these parts this last week....

We still have a TON to do around here, but I finally feel like the house is coming together (slowly, but surely). We finally decided on a color scheme for the living room & found some lamps that work. I also picked up some more decor, but I still need to hang some pictures/order some others. I don't want to order too many old pictures since H will be having 6 month photos taken in the next month & I plan to get a family session done as well pretty soon. We brought some fabric samples home from the furniture store yesterday so we could decided on an ottoman & I think we may have that settled as well. Unfortunately, it takes about 6-8 weeks to be made after we order it. Oi! We got our new kitchen table yesterday & so now the kitchen feels a bit more complete, I think I have less to do in there then anywhere else. The boy's room (shelving/dresser for C) & guest room (new mattress/pillows/sheets) are both coming along, but definitely not ready for show & tell at this point. I'm definitely considering black-out curtains since C seems to wake-up with the sun lately. Gah! I am just glad that the house is finally starting to feel more homey. I can't wait to start decorating for spring/Easter. That is definitely happening sometime this week.

We enjoyed a brief but amazing visit from my BFF this week as well. She arrived late Wednesday afternoon & left on Saturday morning. She wasn't here long, but we made the most of it. I got to show her around our little town, we got to take a shopping trip to Spokane &  we spent our evenings gossiping. It was so much fun having her here, I literally missed her like 5 mins after she left. =( I'm so glad that we will be making a trip home in two weeks (or less if my cousin has her baby) so that we can see everyone again. Her visiting made me a little bit homesick. =(

I've also been feeling really good about my decisions this week. I feel like I've been kicking butt at staying on track with my health. Things are definitely looking up! I'm down 4lbs total as of last Thursday & I feel pretty good about that number. I know it's not some insane amount or anything, but I tried on a pair of pants that I bought in December (& couldn't fit into) & they fit!! They could stand to fit a bit better, but THEY FIT!! I'm excited to be seeing small changes already & I feel like all my hard work is really paying off. I started a 30 day Yoga Challenge on Wednesday & I am really liking that so far as well, I think I will go ahead & keep it in my rotation. And although we've eaten out quite a bit this past few days I am happy to report that I made good decisions instead of bad ones. I was firm in my decision to be healthy & I'm proud of myself for that.

We enjoyed some nice weather this last few days, but it looks as if we have some spring showers headed our way. It was nice while it lasted anyway. Meh.. Guess it means that this week will be devoted to getting back into a routine & some spring cleaning around the house. It definitely needs it! This week also brings a bit of grocery shopping, registering the dog (& a teeth cleaning), transferring a prescription (or trying to) & likely finishing up meal planning for the remainder of the month. Excited to have some things to check off my list & a plan. It definitely helps the days go by faster as we head into K's 5 day work week. Hopefully, the weekend will be here again before we know it. They are definitely ALWAYS far too short...
