Preparing for Change

Here is my life in a nutshell lately:
I recently purchased my first vehicle since moving to Michigan! Completely excited to finally have my own car again. First time driving something other than a Honda since I was 18, but that is ok! Today I was driving to work, and the check battery light came on and the RPM's kept wanting to stay high when I would clutch in...hmm...I think that my alternator is going out. UGH. Stupid used cars. I just need to find a rich guy and get pampered!
Finally found out the results to the biggest loser contest. Yup, 2 weeks later! We won! GO US! I came in 2nd place in the end of all of it. I wish the story ended there! HOWEVER...all of the money that we were supposed to get, someone in the company embezzled it. Ugh...but the company did come up with enough money to at least pay the teams that won. It isn't about the money, more for my health, but when you are depending on that money to pay for your trip to go home in the summer, it kind of sucks! But, I am still continuing my workout, and added tons to my routine since joining the YMCA and loving it! Not losing much weight right now, but trimming down some. Will have to post some pictures of the changes I have made since just joining the Y.
And, last but not least....I am moving!! Well, not far...but getting my own place! I am so excited to have my own place again. I went on a tour of apartments in the area today. I love the size of apartments back here! And...they have pools at both apartment complexes that I like! Little miss will have her "waterparks" close by! Not planning on moving until June, but we will see. I have TONS to buy to just be able to live! UGH!!! Again, I need to find a rich man!!!
I have a much needed 3 day weekend this coming weekend...after a little trading of days of with my favorite co-worker! We are going to attempt to go to Canada Friday morning for the weekend before you have to have a passport to go starting June 1st. I LOVE Canada and really hope to go. Will see how cheap we can get everything to see if we go. If not, I will still get a 3 day weekend!!!
Emily is getting so big and is so smart. She has this little laptop that I got her for her birthday. Teaches her the alphabet, spelling, numbers, etc. She is getting so good at it. Her vocabulary is expanding every day it seems like. She is loving the daycare at the Y and hates it when I come to pick her up. I think 2 hours is more than enough, but she thinks differently! She is keeping me busy and reminding me every day that she is a very independant child and needs no help with ANYTHING!! I don't know what I would do without her...she makes my life so amazingly happy!

WOW! SO much going on... Cars can be a pain, moving is always a pain (no matter how excited you are about it), but Miss Em is always a joy to hear about. And as for embezzling, that is way bad, at least the company tried compensate. Love ya! Glad to hear all is well (except the car...)

I'm excited that you're coming this summer! Now that I don't live in dog poop smelling Salem/Keizer (it's true and weird), we will have tons to do. I might even quit my job before that so we'll have plenty of time to hang out!

Wow! You are really doing it all at once! New car, moving, major health changes. Good for you. Where exactly is "home" for the summer?
