75 days and counting....

So we stand at 75 days until the hubs is home. I am SOOOO excited. I can't wait to see him again. I know the boys are missing thier daddy alot - even if they don't say it! But I sure hope I can manage to save some serious cash before he gets home so he can take extra time off from work. Heres hoping I can do it.

Well I am taking a break from working on the house... I think I can't do much more until I get some furniture on there. Well other than cleaning carpets... and it's too hot to go do that right now....

So excited... and yet NOT

I am so excited that Jeff will be home in less than 3 months. Yet at the same time I can't help but feel mad, because some of his unit will be home sooner. I don't begrudge them thier excitement, It's just a hard pill to swallow that Jeff will be in the last group of guys to come home.  But I guess this gives me more time to save money and more time to get our house in order.

Which -- bring me to more exciting stuff. I found a house to rent. YAY!!! Now we just need to move all our stuff in... it's a slow process but it's getting there. :)

Weight loss had been going good. I have been losing 2 punds a week. Which is insanely awesome. If I keep it up I will be done another 20lbs by the time Jeff gets home. Wahoo... Goal weight is between 140 and 160... but for now I am aiming to be under 200lbs by New years. I think I can do it!
