Logan's 28th Birthday

Well, Logan's birthday started off just like any other day would by going to work. He did take off a half day for his birthday. I had to end up taking him to work too due to the fact that I had to get somethings from Walmart, Fred's and Rush's.

While he was at work, I started making dinner due to the fact that it takes all day to cook. He wanted a thick chili with sweet potato fries and broccoli for dinner that night. I also prep the potatoes and broccoli so that it could be cooked really fast. I will tell you that I wanted to throw a party for Logan's birthday but not a lot of people would have showed up for it so I decided that maybe next year will be better. Then I got thinking Sunday night to surprise him with a birthday cake. I would even make it a Halloween theme cake to make him really happy. It was only be a single layered yellow cake with orange buttercream and black chocolate buttercream. Here is a picture:

When he got home, I had to kick him out of the house so I could finish decorating his cake. It turned out pretty good and way too sweet for either of us. It actually surprised Logan that he needed to  have something to either drink with the cake or need ice cream. He ended up decorating the house a little for him (but a lot for me) for the Halloween. I couldn't do what I really wanted to do because we needed some other things for the house but I decided that I could just do it next year when I have a little more time to get this place ready for Halloween. Anyways I got Logan a game from the Mario series (he really loves the older games like Mario and Luigi) and a Halloween cd.

I started to finish dinner around five o'clock to make sure that we was able to get out of the house in time to make it to Aeris class that night. Dinner was really yummy but kind of pricy due to the fact we used organic grounded chicken.  After we ate, we grabbed the camera and headed to Aeris graduation class at Pet Smart.

Logan's Birthday

For Logan's birthday (which was October 28th) we didn't really much. He also didn't really want to do anything because he was busy with school, unfortunately. Since we didn't do much I made sure that I got him a present at least. I ended up get him a favorite movie from his childhood from Disney and considering his favorite holiday, I got him "A Nightmare Before Christmas". He really loves that movie because of a lot of reasons. He also got a fun card game from Nathan, Katlin and Natalie. He got a few happy birthday cards in the mail from a few family members from out of state.

We also had a great surprise visit too. Kristi stop by to say hi for a moment with her boyfriend, Brendan. It was sad that they couldn't stay and talk longer. It would been nice to finally get to know him and everything but than again we was also in a hurry to be somewhere.  ^_^

After they left we finish getting ready and headed over to the temple for a session that was very much needed (and to tell you the truth, it would be nice to go again soon). We also invited Barbara (Logan's mom) to come with his and I am happy that we did. It was nice to go through with family. It was also nice to go to the temple after 2 years (sad, I know and we should have gone more often but living out of town makes things a lot harder). After a session, we went downstairs and ate the delicious temple food!!! It's the second best part of about the temple in my opinion. ^-^ I loved the feeling of going with my husband and a family member. It was one of my high lights for the month. I hope we make another trip to the temple sometime soon. 

October Weight Goals

October was a good month in a way. This month I started at 189 and I got down to 184 but unfortunately Halloween decided to mean (more of the fact that there was candy in my house and everyone was eating it which made me want to eat a lot too). Right now I am at 186. I'm still losing a lot of inch more than weight at the moment still. I can actually fit better in my size 31 pants...I still have a little roll but not much so I getting really happy. I'm really hoping that I can be the the 70's or so next month. With Korey coming home maybe I'll start working out with him. I'm not sure yet. I think I am going to start working out somewhat on Tues and Thurs starting next week. I'm thinking that I'm going to start doing what I did in high school. I hope it will help make this go faster. I'm also thinking that I will do a few other things but right now I going to take this slowing.

Oh! I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday. I will be seeing if we have to make any changes with my thyroid again. I'm hoping for the better. Cross your fingers! ^-^

Halloween 2011

Well this Halloween was very fast and weird. Both Logan and I was really busy with many things including the homecoming of my little brother Korey. We didn't really celebrate this year because of many reasons. Logan's been really busy with rebuilding his pool table that he brought for himself for Father's Day. Anyways, in a way his birthday was Halloween-ish. I got him The Nightmare Before Christmas for a present.

Anyways, we went and brought a lot of candy for Halloween because there are a lot of kids on our street but we only had 7 visits. It was really weird. I was so surprise but then I started to think. Over the weekend, there were a lot of Halloween things that happen in town because it was the weekend. I guess it's a good thing concluding I didn't think about getting a costume this year (or the last or the year before that...........). So we have this huge bowl of candy that I have to give a way by the end of the day or I'm going to start eating it when I know that I shouldn't. So...if anyone wants the candy give me a call. If not then I'll probably drop it off at the pool by the end of the night.
