The Dreaded Diet - August 25, 2010

The other day I decided to replace the battery in the bathroom scale that has been dead for several months. BIG mistake! We found out we were fat! The WHOLE family! Well except for Alicyn. We decided enough was enough. We can all stand to eat healthier, and we certainly can cut out the fast food and sugary snacks. Our minds were made up! TODAY is the day. Instead of going out for a burger and fries for lunch, we came home and made chicken salad sandwiches. As we left the house to go back to work, my Mother-in-law pulled up...with homemade fudge,and homemade peanut brittle...Did I say TODAY is the day? I meant TOMORROW!

Our Family History - August 25, 2010

Since this is day one of blogging, I thought I'd start with a little family history. Our family consists of myself, Amy, my husband Bryan, and our 4 children. At home we have Alicia, 15, who is mine from a previous marriage, and Alicyn, 17 months. Alicia is a freshman at Hanford high School, and Alicyn spends her days with babysitter, Aunt Shannon. We also have Bryan's children from his 1st marriage, Jay who is 20, and Heather, 19. Jay & Heather both live in Portland Oregon with their mother, and are full time college students. Our blended family began when Bryan and I met back in 2001, although we didn't tie the knot until January of 2007, when we ran off to Vegas for a crazy, and freezing, drive-thru wedding at the Little White Wedding Chapel.
Bryan and I currently manage Desert View Manufactured Home Community in West Richland, WA., and have been with the company for almost 6 years now. It's a great Park, and a wonderful company to work for.
