New and Exciting...

I know I am a little behind on posting but really the last two weeks we have all been sick and I finally think we are all on the mend! Thursday Dan woke up about 2 am and thought he had a fever, so I felt him and he didn't feel warm but he was shivering like crazy the whole bed was shaking so I told him to put more clothes on. Then about 3 he woke me up and asked if I would get him some medicine, so I did. I also felt his head again and he was now burning up. Then right after I crawled into bed he jumps up and runs to the bathroom. I believe we now had the flu in our house :( So, we got him settled on the couch and I went back to bed and Kypton and I finished the night in there alone. Dan slept all day on Friday and Friday night I was past the point of exhaustion not to mention my cold wasn't getting any better since I had been up at night with a sick baby and now a sick husband. We asked my parents to watch Kypton for the night so we could sleep and I didn't want him catching the flu either. Now we are to Monday and Dan and I are still stuffed up but as least we can breathe and were not coughing every second, and Kypton is all better, a few fake coughs here and there for attention but it's cute :)

So over the weekend, Dan and I did some talking and I did a lot of praying about our finances and where we wanted to be in the next year. I did so much thinking that on Saturday night I couldn't sleep and finally got up and did some budgeting and snowballing on the computer until about 3 am and got a picture I really liked of where we could be in a year. Sunday we talked a little more Dan seemed to agree he liked what I came up with and we know things won't be exactly what I came up with but if we can even get close to it we would be extremely happy. I won't go into detail on this blog, but some fun news, I have started just a blog about our finances at LoveYourFinances.blogspot.com I would love for you to follow me. I talk about our "stupid taxes" and what we do to try to save money, it's a very real picture of our pitfalls and our journey to live debt free.

Another big thing...after talking with my mom and Dan I am going to start doing some in home daycare. I will take in three kids to have a total of four with Kypton. I will do it out of my parents basement (at least until we move) because they have a lot more room, and the basement hardly gets used. I am looking forward to being around more kids! It will also be great for Kypton to start socializing and learning to share Mommy time for when he has siblings :) It will be a great challenge and I am excited to see where it's going to take me and my family! Right now I think I have two tentative families so if you have anyone knows of a 3rd family that is looking for a place to send a little one feel free to send them my way. You can send them to my website at AllAboutTheGiggle.weebly.com . Wish us luck in this new adventure! :)

Last updates for today..workouts...yeah I haven't been to the gym in a week because I have been sick! I will start tonight on what I would have done last week though. I will be a week behind on doing updated photos so three weeks to get my act together to make those photos look even better! I must admit I had a rough weekend, as my body felt like it was STARVING no matter what I ate so I did eat a little on the not so healthy side this weekend. However, I am back at it today, started with a healthy breakfast, and a portioned lunch, and tonight will be a healthy dinner, and back to the gym as soon as Dan gets home...hopefully it's not as busy as it has been. I swear everyone belongs to Planet Fitness these days they are always packed!! I must give a shout out to my mom and Dad as well. Today they started their journey TOGETHER on getting fit. My Dad is doing the male version of Jamie Eason's workout/eating plan and my mom will be doing the workout but has another eating plan she is doing. I am excited to see their end results! Good Luck to them!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Love,
