Our Life Today

Well, I'm told it's about time I talk about Patrick and Me. Here it is....

We continue to enjoy our munchkins to the fullest! I love being home with them and if finances let me, I would love to do it for a while. This past week I officially resigned from my teaching job in Hanover School Division... sort of a bitter sweet experienc. I will miss teaching like crazy, but I WILL get to see my children grow for at least another year! Patrick continues to enjoy his new supervisory position and hopes that it continues. He is enjoying the leadership roll and it is a little more suited for our lifestyle as he has a little more "say" about his hours worked.
Weight continues to fall!!! Yep, I'm going to talk about it!!! Patrick and I decided after Ella being born that we would change our lives by losing some weight. I struggled with high blood pressure and continue to be at risk for diabetes (I've already had it with both pregnancies) so for me it was a health decision. Patrick was having trouble with night breathing (and dear lord... the snoring!!) so we decided to try weight loss together.
We started weight watchers on Aug. 1. They say it takes 23 days to form a habit and I now believe that. The first 23 days were terrible, worse for Patrick than myself. Now things are routine. Patrick has lost 31lbs and I've lost 26. No sign of high blood pressure, diabetes and Pat no longer snores!! What a blessing. I've added a picture of my "new" husband as many people say he now looks 10 years younger.... not sure how I feel about that! The goal now is to keep that weight off.... easier said than done I expect!
