Well, I'm a terrible blogger.
I feel like I have nothing to say lately. I haven't been working out like I should. I haven't been dieting like I should. I work, come home, and sleep. And that's not exciting, so I don't write about it.
But Christmas was this week!
It was super fun. We were able to spend a ton of time with family. I had Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday off from work. Cody had to work Sunday and Monday, but was able to only work a half day so we could go to all of the Christmas parties we had to go to.
Sunday was my dads side of the family. We didn't get to go to the party last year, because my sister was in the hospital due to an infection in her foot. So it was nice to see everyone this year! We ate lots of food, played some games, and saw lots of family members that we haven't seen in a while. My cousin brought her 7 month old baby, so cute!! And I swear, I've never been asked more "so, when are you guys gonna have a baby?" in my entire life! We left around 11, because Cody had to work early the next day.
Christmas eve was another fun day. I spent the morning finishing up some wrapping and a tiny bit of shopping, and then headed to my parents for Church. It started early (4:30!) and so after church was over, we had my aunt and uncle and some friends over at my parents house for a small party there. Again, lots of food! We played cards, and hung out. Again, we didn't leave until after 11, so we got home pretty late.
Christmas morning always starts early for us. We have to generally be at Cody's parents house around 6am. We spend the morning opening gifts, eating, and hanging out. Then we head to my parents around 1, and do more gifts, eating, and hanging out. It's always lots of fun, but it's generally a super long day. I love it though, because I love getting to spend a lot of time with my family!
Hope you all had a great Christmas!

Christmas Shopping
Sorry it's been so long. It's been crazy around here for the past few weeks.
Cody is still working insane hours. He hasn't had a day off since Thanksgiving and I know that he's exhausted. Him and his boss got into a big fight the other day, because Cody brought up the fact that working like this wasn't what the original plan was, and if he is going to be working 100+ hour weeks, that he isn't going to continue to do so at his regular pay. I feel so bad because I know that he's worn out from working so much, but I also know that it's not forever, hopefully next week things will start to slow down a bit for him, so he can go back to working his normal schedule.
Work for me has been going good, just working a lot. We got a new GM, and his has some very high standards, which is good I guess if you work in a restaurant. We've had a lot added to our plate, so it seems I'm at work a bit longer than usual. It's good though, it keeps me busy, especially right now when Cody is working a lot and I wouldn't get to see him, anyway.
Because we have been working so much, we haven't even started our Christmas shopping. I love Christmas time, and generally I love shopping but we just haven't had the time to really start this year. Since my family is going to Florida in February, we decided to go light on Christmas shopping this year. On Thanksgiving, we decided to draw names, and instead of buying something small for everyone, we decided to spend $100 on the persons name that we draw. I got my mom, and Cody got my dad. Well, the entire plan kind of backfired, because my mom decided that she can't not buy gifts for all of us, so she's going to buy something little for each of us, but spend the most money on the person she got (which is Cody). So, now we are getting one thing for everyone too, but it will still be cheaper than a normal Christmas.
Weight Watchers is going well. I did really well the first week, and was down 2.6lbs! The second week, I didn't do so great. We had pizza one night, I wasn't counting my points like I should, and I was supposed to weigh in on Tuesday, but we got some snow the night before and the roads were bad. So I weighed in today, expecting a gain, but I lost 1.8! Down 4.4 total. Not a ton, but I'm okay with it!!
I'm hoping to do a complete makeover of my blog soon, as soon as I get the patience to do it. So look out for that. :)

comments
I just realized that all of the comments that I have thought I've been posting on here aren't showing up! I tried to comment on someone elses blog and it didn't show up, and sure enough, none of the ones I post on mine are showing up, either! So I am not ignoring you, google is just being weird and not allowing me to comment. :(
I plan on writing a much better update tomorrow, I am weighing in tomorrow (and expecting a gain, but more on that later) so I'll let you know how it goes!
