Hello All!
Long time no blog?
Yeah, having limited internet really cuts in to my ability to share. But I'm here today, and I'm ready to tell you everything I know.
Let's start with a Manchester update. Well, a New Hampshire update in general. We have decided on a city we are going to live in. We picked Manchester. We can't give you a reason why really. We just had to make a decision so we could get an apartment, and we decided on Manchester. If we get out there and don't like it, I'm sure we will consider moving.
We scoured craigslist for apartments. And we finally decided on one we would apply for. We paid our application fees, and our holding fee, waited, and a couple days later we were notified that the apartment was ours! Now, in the couple of days it took us to hear back from the apartment complex I read some reviews about the apartment that gave me the heebejeebes. Things like "This place has bedbugs" or "the roaches run and hide when you turn the lights on." What?? That is too much for me! But Jason and I talked with people, and we both agree that we can't walk away from this place until we actually see it. Originally when we applied we said we wanted to do a 12 month lease, but since we were a little nervous, we asked if we could a 6 month lease. The managers were just fine with that! So we have a two bedroom apartment with a 6 month lease. No worries. If we hate it, it's only 6 months!

We are moving out to New Hampshire the first week of June. And we've given ourselves a week. Three days to drive out there, and then a handful of days to get organized and settled. yay!
On Saturday March 24th, Jason and I had a "beloved" session with the wonderful Megan Eckers of Wildlove Photography. Check out her great, witty, emotional, sentimental blog. http://wildlovephoto.com/blog/
I orignally made the appointment for the session as motivation to get my unexercised butt in motion. It worked! I didn't lose as much weight as I had hoped I would, but I feel comfortable and confident in my body. Especially when my husband holds me in his arms, or looks at me with those eyes of his! Look...
Jason and I had a fantastic time with Megan! She had us laughing, she had me crying my eyes out, she had us kissing till our lips were sore. (okay, maybe not that much smooching) She asked us to tell her about the other person, she gave us "what if" scenarios, and she led us in games with each other. It was a great day. She was never watching the time, or hurrying us along. She just stood behind her camera, patiently drawing us out and closer to each other.
I haven't told too many people this, but I started p90x almost 30 days ago. I'm Loving It! I was nervous that I wouldn't keep going. I did not want to tell everyone and then give up and be laughed at! I can see and feel it working. I Know I'm "bringing it" every morning at 0430. I know I am going to FIT in to those pants again!
thanks for reading,
