Three months in... and other news

May 6, 2012

Weight: 216.2

Total Weight Lost: 28.8 lbs.

Sorry about the hair and makeup... I haven't felt well today. :( 

And sorry about this last picture. My eyes were shut and it makes me look stoned. :) I promise I'm not!!! 

So, I'm trying to get back on track with updating the blog at the beginning of the month, so the weight loss isn't as impressive since it has only been a couple of weeks. But I am feeling great and I'm able to fit into clothes that I've hid in the closet because it made me depressed to look at them and not be able to fit into them!! :) Yay!! It's still been pretty easy to stick to the plan, which I am grateful for. GO TEAM WEIGHT WATCHERS!!! :)

I have also gotten a haircut, as is evident in the pictures. I like my hair shorter, but I have a wedding I'm in at the beginning of June, so I didn't want to go too short. I think it turned out well! You just can't see how cute it is in these pictures because of my laziness today. :)

I also have work news. I will no longer be working at the Northtown branch of U.S. Bank as of tomorrow. I have been transferred to the Garland branch for the remainder of my time I'm here in Spokane. It has been a hard thing to swallow, but I am trying to stay positive and I guess I am excited for this new adventure. The hardest part for me is having to say goodbye to most of my co-workers and customers. Needless to say, I was a little weepy on Friday when I left that branch for the last time. I have really enjoyed working there and learning with all the girls! I will miss them terribly, but I also look forward to meeting and becoming close with new co-workers and customers. I just wish that they would have done this earlier or waited till I was gone so that I could feel like I'm doing some good. With only barely three months to work there, I feel like I may not be able to affect any kind of change. And for that, I am a little sad. But, again, I am aware that there is a reason for everything and I hope I am around long enough to find out what that reason is. :)

We are staying busy getting the house ready to sell. We worked out in the yard the last few weeks and have made SOME progress, but we still have a LOT to do! I hope the weather stays good, so we can spend our evenings out in the yard. Here are some updated pictures of our home as of Saturday. 

And for anyone interested, this house will soon be up for sale at a GREAT price! It's a small, starter home, but it has a HUGE yard on a corner lot and it is across the street from Franklin Park! Which is pretty neat! Full, unfinished basement, 2 bed/ 1 bath. Fenced back yard, plum and apple trees. Cute little house and it has served me well for the past three years. I will miss it, but we know that we are doing what we need to do. It will be listed on MLS around June 4, but if you want to see interior pictures now, you can look up the address (5303 N Whitehouse, Spokane, WA 99205) on zillow.com and there are pictures there you can view! Go ahead and look! :)

And Shon received a HALF TUITION SCHOLARSHIP!!!! We are very blessed. Now we just need to find me a job (hopefully transferring with the bank) and an apartment (we have one kind of in mind...). We are getting quite excited about everything and you can bet that I am already packing things up! HAHA! I will not be one of those people who wait until the last week to frantically pack everything in the house. We will be ready to go whenever the house sells. 

Well, that is all for now.... I think. Lots of change and lots of emotions coursing through me for the last few weeks. But I hope that it will get easier. I'm not a huge fan of change, but I look forward to the changes that are coming up. They will not be easy, but hopefully they will all be worth it! 

Thanks for reading!!
