Exercise Regrets

Okay, I have to admit that I have not been going to the gym for a while now (it's been over a year). Don't get me wrong, I do keep busy with day to day things. But, my flabby butt and thighs don't show how active I think I am. So my dear husband encouraged me to start working out with him in the evenings after dinner. So Monday night was my first night working out. Of course I decided to nip it in the butt (literally) and start with all the machines that focus on firming and tightening in my problem areas. The only problem is that I always do too much on the first day back at exercising and these 2 pictures are the source of my current issue...
I can't even sit down right now without holding onto something due to the pain in my inner and outer thighs. I love these machines and know they work miracles, but I can't even fathom using them again soon until all the pain goes away. I think Jaime has enjoyed watching and commentating on me getting up and down like an old woman with arthritis. With all the moans and groans you would think something is seriously wrong with me. So, here's to all you courageous women out there who exercise like a maniac and then feel it the next day(s). I definately understand.

Jaime's 31st Birthday

Jaime ran out of his favorite cologne, Chrome about a year ago. I love the way it smells and to me that's the way I remember Jaime by it's specific scent. He has used it since before we met. So I got it for him for his present.
It came with a "gift with purchase," a game set. Which actually ended up being a really nice one.

Jaime looooves Tiramisu! So for as his birthday cake I made it with pero instead, which is similar to postum, but better and tastes just like coffee. It turned out great!

We went over to my sister, Jessica's house and shared it with her and her family for dessert. I had made it once before and altered the recipe to make it taste better.

Jaime turned 31 on June 27th. On Saturday June 26th he wanted to go to Dave & Busters for his birthday. They didn't take reservations so we went to Rain Forrest Cafe for dinner instead. It was great and they accomodated our group of 17.
The food was excellent and the majority of everyone that was invited showed up.
After dinner we then went to Dave & Busters. One of my friend's said, it is just like Chuck E Cheese, but for adults. Thanks to everyone who came. It was great to see so many people that we haven't seen in a while!

Jaime, I am glad you had a great birthday weekend and here's to many more!!!!

Update

It's been a while since I have posted anything. I just didn't feel I had anything to post about!!! Things have definately changed. We have had so many blessings that have poured down on us. First, Jaime's mom got married the end of March to a wonderful man who she and Jaime have known for years. Then my sister Jessica and her husband Peter gave us their car when they bought a van for their growing family. We have been sharing one car for over a year and a half. Then a week after we got back from Utah from the wedding, Jaime found out that he got a job and he starts tomorrow. There have been so many people to thank for their prayers and encouragement. Life is great and there is nothing else to say!!!

Christmas

Wow... it is already Christmas time already!!! This year will be a more quiet Christmas. My parent's are in Oklahoma visiting my sister's, Erica and Kristen and their families. Jessica and I were just planning on getting together if my Aunt and Grandma were going to be out of town but they aren't. So it will be good to see everyone in San Diego on Christmas day.
I am grateful for my family and friend's and love celebrating the birth of the Savior each year. Christmas reminds me of every blessing I have and how much more will come. I am blessed yo have a job and live in a great Nation. Even though the whole world is struggling with this bad economy, I know we as a Nation can pull through this and rise above again!!!
Encourage each other to stay positive and motivated!!! Merry Christmas everybody!!!

Blogger Glitch Fixed

I haven't technically been slacking. My blog posts would not update on my friend's blogs. Anyways with the help from my sister Kristen I figured out where I needed to get the answers from.

My Blog Is Not Updating

I posted what we did for Halloween and noticed that it was not showing that we updated our blog. So this is a trial blog to see if the settings I changed fixed it.

Halloween

We went to Bates Nut Farm during the day, I thought they would still have all their carnival stuff to do, but they are getting ready for Christmas and was already cleaning up on before Halloween was over. It was still fun to go and was a hot day.

Jaime's costume tuned out so good.

Ethan was a cute little dragon.




Tyler was firefighter.

Peter the pirate

Jessica

After spending some time at Jessica's house, Jaime and I went to Melissa and Tommy's house for their Halloween party.









Those were some crazy zebra contacts.

Kristin, Melissa and I

Sisters

We had a great time on Halloween. I haven't dressed up for Halloween in a long time.
