i'm hungry.

so WOW. a lot has happened since i last wrote.
1. i am OFFICIALLY a north carolina driver. (i have a license AND a new plate!) you know what's cool? you get to pICK your background when you get it done..like, either a plane, lighthouse, state seal, or state map. obviously i picked the plane.
2. i went wakeboarding for the first time-super fun, by the way. it's like snowboarding in the summer! yip.
3. i re-arranged my flower bed, again. but now, everything is where it should be. it wasn't cooperating with the shade/sun requirements because of all the trees. but it's better now.
i guess that's it.
oh, and
4. mason SWAM in the water all by himself. i am SO proud! he jumped off the boat into the water, aLL on his own.
5. the ivy is STILL not dead (in the backyard). aaron tried to kill it with a round of round-up, but geez. i think it'll take 3 more tries.
6. we found out how to get into the door that goes under the house! it was all covered with ivy and spiders, but it's cool under there.

so i thought of a few more.

so our race is still ON. my physical therapy is going well...a couple of weeks ago i started having siatic pain, and then like heel spurs (?) or something, but they told me to stop running, and so far, everything is better. hmm. BUT i got new shoes, so that's probably something.
7. i got new running shoes.
8. and running clothes.
9. and michelle gave us those nike running things that go with your ipod, that tell you how far you've gone and how many calories you've burned. ! sounds exciting.

we get to go to TEXAS in a couple of weeks!! i'm so excited. i haven't been home since last november! so that should be fun. we'll get to go home to hang with michelle, see my family, go to austin to see courtney, go to lubbock to see aaron's family, and stop by ol' abliene too. should be fun. the tour o'texas round 2.

10. i FINALLY got my oil changed. all that's left is the inspection. !
me and aaron are going to the beach on thursday for the day. i think that will be fabulous. anne and some other friends are going, too. so hooray!

our debt repayment is going ok. i gave anne our credit cards, so that we aren't tempted to use them. it's SUPER hard, but i can't WAIT until they are gone! i've been working an extra shift at work every week, so hopefully they'll be gone by the time we go to disney world in october.

back to this:ewl=2 pounds.
i think i should start posting this, since i slack so much. esPECially since michelle is doing so well.
someone asked me the other day if i was on a diet.
"i've been on a diet since december".
wow. that's a long time. maybe i should stop eating on the border every now and then. (p.s. i can't WAIT to have texas food when we come home-abuelos, chuy's, bueno, SNO hut, cheddars..yUM!)
i'll try to post some pictures in the next couple of days of what we've been up to...maybe even a link to the wakeboarder-of-all-time clip. that'd be fun :)
anyone else excited about grey's anatomy coming back? i AM. i wonder when america's next top model will come back? hmm.

well there you go.
one more story.
at the dmv, i was waiting in those little chairs, and the girl next to me asked me if i was getting my license for the first time too.
oh my gosh.
i think i need a new look. more highlights, perhaps?
