Here is our home in Cabot, AR!!!

It's official....

It's official, We... Are... Homeowners!!!! (or Home"owers" as Zach calls it). We signed all of the official documents today at the Title company. We are so blessed to have everything falling into place (as cliche as it sounds). Pictures of the home will soon follow. Right now there are vines along the house that will be gone within the next day or so, so tonight I will take "before" pics, and once we get the yard under control we will post "after" pictures.

Thank you everyone for all of your prayers and words of support and encouragment. We are truly blessed!

Getting into shape...

As I tried on my swimsuit from last year it became very apparent that I had put on a few pounds. It also was brought to Zach's attention that he too had been eating "a little too well." While this is props to my cooking abilities, neither of us want be less then gorgeous/handsome on October 10.

So yesterday we started a full on battle of the bulge. We started by calculating how many calories to eat, journaling our food/calories, and even went on a brisk evening walk around our new neighborhood. This morning I woke up early with Zach to jog around the neighborhood only to be completely annoyed at how much I hate running, and even more annoyed by how much I am out of shape! Luckily I have some great friends who are fans of fitness and have encouraged me and pointed me in the right direction.

This afternoon Zach is heading to the gym, and after dinner we will be again strolling around the block! I am excited about getting healthier. It will also be great when the kids get up here because they will love riding their bikes in the evening after dinner.
