...

Well, it's been awhile since I've updated. I know what you're thinking, another bad week right? Well, not really, I'm back down to what I was a few weeks ago, but I didn't feel it was worth mentioning because I have already lost it, but just happened to gain it back. This coming week is Spring Break, and when we get back, the person who has lost the most weight so far will get 1/4 of the money that is in the 'pot.' Which is like over $350 dollars. That person will not be me. However, I'm happy for that. People around here take this biggest loser thing WAY to seriously. If you lose and they gain, they won't talk to you. So I'm happy that I'm staying in the background.

In wedding news, EW and I are going apartment hunting this weekend. We will also be getting our registry together, and I'm really excited about that. I love Shopping!

Next Tuesday, I'll be going home-home to be with the family and I'm very excited to see some friends I haven't seen in a long time. It's already on the lower half of March, and it seems like only yesterday I began my first year as a teacher. With all the budget cuts, I have a feeling this will be my only year as a teacher. If I find a job, I'll be fine with it, but I think I'm ready to branch out a bit. I'm not quite sure what to do. I think I would like to stay in education, but I wouldn't mind finding something else also. Most people go into a field they are good at, and I would like to do the same, but I haven't found out what I'm good at yet. I like a lot of different things, but nothing that I want to do everyday for years at a time. A year ago I would have told you it was teaching, but I really don't think that's the case anymore. Don't get me wrong I really enjoy it, but I don't want to do it year after year. It's been fun, but I feel like I should try something new. This most definitely is something I will have to ponder.

Fallen?

Have I fallen off the wagon?

I keep asking myself this question. I've been postponing this update for a few days now. I didn't do to well in the past week, and ending up gaining (I'm embarrassed to say it...) 4 lbs. I knew I wouldn't have a high number, but 4...FOUR!? It always happens. I lose, then I gain, I become frustrated, then ultimately I give up. I really don't want to do that this time. My life is changing. I'll become a wife in 6 months, and I thought with everything going on in my life, there has never been a better time to try.
I'm angry just writing this. On the bright side, the weather is becoming nicer, and I will be more active. Also, I'll be moving home this summer, which will make me less depressed about being alone in Kickadonkey.

In other news: ISAT is finally over! This past week has been very draining with testing every hour for the past 5 days. However, it's been great because I haven't had anything to take home and I've been searching for apartments that we could possibly live in this fall. Today I was able to start our registry. I think I'm going to stick with JCPenny and Target. They seem to have everything we need between the two stores. Even though, personally, I would love to get all of it from WalMart. What can I say? I'm just a WalMart kind of girl :)

Well, there's the bell for lunch,

Will report (hopefully) good news next week!
