OCTOBLER aka OCTOBER

check out the title laura.. i got it right this time! haha! anyways, today has already been an awesome day so i figured i should pay it some homage and write a little post in it's honor! first off, the fact alone that it is now october makes today awesome! number one it means that i am now one month closer to the hubster being home, and secondly october is just an awesome month! my only complaint would be for it to be a little cooler! normally october is in the 70's here in utah, but it's still in the high 80's.. boo!! i bought a really cute sweater and i just want to wear it!! so pleeeease cool down! thanks!! so, to start off the new month i got woken up by a phone call from my favoritest husband ever!! i love getting morning phone calls because seriously, the rest of the day just seems to go by so wonderfully and if anything sucky does happen i just remember that i got to talk to my husband today and it makes everything else seem so irrelevent! well, during the phone call he informed me that he FINALLY got promoted to corporal! i knew he was supposed to pick up today, but we were also told he was going to pick up september 1st so i took it with a grain of salt! well, he's now officially a corporal! i am sooooo proud of him!! for all my non military friends corporal is a big deal in the marine corps and you became a nco which stands for non commissioned officer.. so yeah! pretty exciting!! i guess that is kind of it so far, but for me that's a pretty good day! oh yeah, i am now officially down to 162! which means from my starting weight i am down almost 8 pounds!! plus, i generally measure myself everyday just to see where the current weight is coming off and i lost about half an inch on my hips! so take that womanly hips!! haha! i figure if i want to go down some jean sizes that is where i need to start losing more! i can actually already tell i am going down in jean sizes! i have both size 12 and 14 jeans.. but recently the size 12's have became way too tight and the size 14's were fitting more comfortably.. well now the size 14's are almost starting to get too big and the size 12's are fitting perfectly! i still have 16 days left of the losing weight part so hopefully by the end of this i can be in a size 10 jean.. that's my goal!! so yeah! that's it for now!!

peace in the middle east,
