Rented 1 very large U-haul in April and paid Emily to rent one very small U-haul in August (and then she sweetly drove the remainder of our crap 390 miles up to us)
Multiple nights in the hotel - and multiple cable channel options to choose from
2 weeks living with my parents
Moved into 2 houses and out of one house in 2 months - finally feel at home
First last day of 6th grade at the end of April in Kansas City; second last day of 6th grade at the end of May in Spirit Lake
1 laptop issued to one very excited 11 year old - 1 laptop returned at the end of the school year - 1 laptop reissued again last week
133.2 miles walked/biked with the baby in tow
25 lbs lost
One big first birthday celebrated
3 library cards issued
8,752 pages read (between Abby and me, not counting the books we read and re-read to Finn on a daily basis).
Sent letters and boxes 6,768 miles to Daniel in Kuwait
3 trips to Minnesota to visit my mom and dad (which is probably 3 more times than we would have been able to visit if we still lived in Missouri.).
1 visit from each of my siblings on 3 separate occassions (except Daniel, but Ady visited, so maybe she counts for him?)
2 of Uriah's sisters and his parents visited for one very extended weekend
1 part-time job and 1 new daycare
I have loved (almost) every minute of the 177,120 crazy minutes that we've been in Iowa!.
Thanks, Lindsey! Weight is so easy to put on (thanks to having a baby and eating a lot of chocolate shakes!) sort of not that easy to dissolve away. I've just been walking and biking with Finn as much as we can. I did Atkins at the beginning of the summer (super restricted carbs) and that helped a lot. I'm not where I want to be but every pound is a step closer.
I'm working part time (couple days a week) at a condo resort. Something to get me out of the house and talking to people who can answer back!
25 pounds?! That is awesome! Go you!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tara!
