My Life in a Bullet List

I know it has been quite a while since I have updated my blog.  I guess that all those pictures pushed me over the edge, but to be more honest – nothing much of note has happened as of late – so this post will be reduced to bullet points.

*  MOST IMPORTANT – Chris and I have gotten everything in order to apply for his VISA.  Mine runs out on the 23rd of July 2010 so I will be home by then.  I cant wait.  It is making things a bit easier to deal with knowing there is an end in sight!  We’ll need prayers, happy thoughts, etc. sent our way for the next little while as the process progresses – hopefully without incident.  I will update as things happen.  In the meantime if you hear of jobs, cars, household supplies, etc. keep us in mind. 
*  Issues (to say the least) with the in-laws, I wont type much because I don't want to make anything worse (if it could be).  I really envy people who have great relationships with their in-laws.  It has also put me on a crash course of FINALLY realizing that no matter how hard I try, and believe me I’ve tried, I cant please everyone.
*  I quit my job.  I was hired with a promise of 10 hours a week and after 3 weeks of no hours at all, late pay, snide comments, and cleaning duty – not to mention migraines from the stress AND babies crying because I became a “stranger” from my lack of hours – Chris did my dirty work.  He went into the centre, asked for my passport, and then handed them my letter – and I haven't heard from them OR looked back since.  Now I just need to find something else – hopefully something I am more suited to.
*  Chris is still hard at work, doing TONS of extra hours so we can start saving for Utah.  What a hard worker!
*  I went for my fertility appointment last week and was told that I need to loose weight so last Monday, Chris and I started watching what we’re eating.  It hasn't been easy and it involved me cooking a lot more, but hopefully it will work.  I am using a great website called http://www.sparkpeople.com/  It is GREAT and soooo helpful – I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to track and loose weight.  Now if I can just get the motivation to work out…  P.S.  If you’d like an invite to my fertility blog – just let me know!
*  I have a bit of a writing bug coming on.  All my life I’ve wanted to write a book and finally I think I have some really good ideas sloshing around in my head.  I just hope I can make sense of them and turn them into something worth while.

So that is my life in a nutshell.  Nothing to exciting, but changes in the works.  Have a great week everyone!!!
