End of a Friendship

Sadly today I had to end a long friendship. Things had happened in the past and we got over it and apologized and forgave each other. Well, I had, and thought she had. I recently found out after she got mad at me for something that had nothing to do with me, she started bringing up stuff from the past. Pretty much talking real nasty about me. That really hurt my feelings. Shows me that on her side, our friendship was a complete lie. She has been feeling like this the whole time. Just pretending. I am really hurt right now. I have started to feel close to her, and helped her and her family out numerous times. But in the end I just get burned. I can't be friends with her anymore. Even if she tried, I just couldn't. I'd always be thinking in the back of my mind she's still pretending. 
Be careful who your friends are!!!

Stepping Up

I am stepping up my game. Making sure I am eating completely healthy again(not just partially) and getting back to my Curves workouts! I forgot how great it feels to workout. I feel more refreshed and energized. For awhile there I was starting to feel lazy again and just so tired. Glad to be out of that rut! I went to Curves the last two nights but I plan on going to Zumba class again tonight. Hopefully my friend will want to, if not it's back to Curves. Either way I will be working out. :) I really need to buy more AdvoCare products. Just haven't had the money to lately but I we will soon. AdvoCare was helping me a lot!!

My First Zumba Class

Yep, it was my first ever! And it was interesting!! I gotta say Zumba is really fun but its hard work! I am SO sore!! 
It's also very hard for people who have no rhythm, like me. LOL! There was booty shaking, body rolling, etc. This white girl CAN'T dance! HAHA! But in the end all that matters is you're moving and sweating. It's definitely an interesting exercise. I do plan on going back Monday. I'm really excited. 
Plus I love how it's a small fitness place. Not too many people right now since they just opened. It's called Hip Happenings in Cedar Hill. 
People, ya'll need to check it out! I'll put their website and class schedule below. The best part, they're cheap!!!! YAY! They also have kickboxing and boot camp classes. 


It's time for me to get back into shape! I've lost over 20 lbs and then stopped working out because of us moving to a house. Life just got busy for me. But that shouldn't be an excuse. So I am getting back on track! I will be going back to Curves 3 days a week and then doing a class at Hip Happenings 2 times a week. 


I still have 54 lbs to lose to reach my goal weight!!

Homemade gifts for Fathers Day

I found this awesome idea for a Fathers Day gift on Pinterest! I was so excited to do this project! But I gotta tell you the one part that I thought was going to be easy turned out to be difficult!! I needed to find lots of different types of candy. I went to probably 7 stores to find all the candy I needed! The most difficult to find was Now and Laters! I couldn't believe how rare it is to find that in a store! It was ridiculous!!! 
Anyways, so I made a card for Marc "from the boys". I also bought an extra poster board for Aidyn to make his own "card" for Marc. He is excited to get started on it, which he will be doing in just a moment. 
I am going to post a picture of the project I did. Tomorrow I will most likely post a few pictures of Marc getting his "cards" from us!

Uptown Village in Cedar Hill Rant

The "interactive fountain" at Uptown Village in Cedar Hill is something my kids love to go to! I love taking them too! You get to sit at a table with an umbrella for shade and watch your kids run through the fountain. Kaysen has finally gotten old and brave enough where he will run through it all by his self. 
I took my kids there this morning to finally get us out of the house! Aidyn goes and immediately starts going through the water. I walk Kaysen in and finally get him used to the water, I turn around to let him play and for me to go sit. All of a sudden the security guard comes up and tells me that Kaysen is too young and too small to be in the fountain. Says that the kids have to be OVER 48 inches to be in the fountain. WTF?! This is new to me!!! So even though I'm upset I get Kaysen out and have him sit with me and play while Aidyn gets to play in the fountain. About 30 minutes later the same security guard comes over and says "Haven't I already talked to you about your child?" I'm like "Yeah, I got him out, see?". He said "No, your other son.". He then proceeds to tell me that the rules are you must be UNDER 48 inches to be in the fountain. Poor Aidyn is 50 inches. He said the rules are UNDER 48 inches or UNDER 10 years old. WTF?! What 10 year old will be under 48 inches?!! Aidyn is 6 years old! He can't help that he's a tall kid!! I then asked why he said that you had to be over 48 inches earlier and made me get Kaysen out. He said that it was a miscommunication. UGH! I then had to tell Aidyn to get out of the fountain. My poor child starts to cry since he doesn't understand why. 
To me it feels like like descrimination. People can't help if their young child happens to be tall! 
I realized (after the security guard left) that their sign says 10 years and older. Not anything about a height limit. I took a picture of that and will be going to management on Monday to complain. 


I couldn't believe that I had to put both my kids through that. My youngest didn't get to play more than 2 minutes in the water and my oldest only about 30 minutes. It's just ridiculous!!! 


I just wanted to rant about this since I was upset, also to let everyone around Cedar Hill to know of this problem. This mall has been open since 2008, they should have set and stuck to these RIDICULOUS rules from the beginning! Not spring them up on people 4 years later!

The House

I apologize for my absence. The move was pretty stressful considering we needed to get some things into working order before we could move in. And some things had to wait til after we were moved in. But everythings good now. We are officially moved into our new house! So exciting!!!!!!! We still have lots of cosmetic work that needs to be done but I don't think it'll take us more than a year to get everything done(thats inside AND outside). We are so excited to finally have a home of our own! 
I want to thank all the people that helped us! :) Our good friends Richard, Jenifer, my wonderful mother, and of course my awesome Aunt who gave us the opportunity!


Update:
I have lost 22 lbs since I started my weight loss! YAY!
