 Rob was kind enough to remind me that I hadn't posted any pictures from the cruise, so here are some! Us gettting on the ship the first day
                                         Sun bathing out on the lido deck. they had a slide and everything!
                                                     Enjoying the sun! :)
                                        A side view of the ship. It was massive!
                                          At the Mayan ruins in Progreso, Mexico

                                             At an outside restaurant in Cozumel, Mexico. Beautiful!
                                                      We love the beach! Oh and each other! :)
                                                  Every night they made towel animals. So cute!





                                          Panoramic view of the grounds, the ruins were amazing!

Life is always busy!!

Sorry I don't have any pictures to go with the update this time,  life's been busy yet not a whole lot happening at the moment. but i'll do my best to entertain y'all. :)
To start off, Rob and I are both back in school!  Rob is in math, what a favorite subject :)  It's been hard between work and school to balance both but he's been doing it wonderfully! :) I'm so proud of him and all the hard work he's been putting into school.  Not to mention being a supervisor at work during a busy season! Being a shipping warehouse supervisor is just another word for "glorified baby-sitter".  Unfortunately full grown adults act as childish as a real child, it not more.  But he's been doing great and has been shining! The shipping manager has had nothing but good reports about him! I"m so happy and so grateful to have a wonderful and supportive husband!  He's been doing a fantastic job working and supporting our family.  Way to go sweetie! :)
As for me I finally started personal training school, I've been in it for five weeks and I am LOVING it!! It's everything that I love learning about, plus I get to work out as part of the class/homework :)  I can handle this kind of schoolwork! There's still been a lot of homework on the side, mostly a lot of research.  What I've come to find out about the health and fitness world is for every subject there's at least five different opinions.  Health diets, supplements, fat burners, exercise techniques, you name it.  It's very interesting to see how much controversy is out there, but I'm grateful to have this experience to educate myself on these things and to help other people make educated decisions.  Although in my opinion, after all the research and study I've done on supplements and food and things, I stand by what I've always said: a NORMAL healthy diet (not a crazy crash diet or fad diets) and regular exercise is the best way to stay healthy and/or lose weight.  However, the more intense you work out, the more you lose.  Simply walking 3 times a week doesn't do anything, you gotta work for it, and you gotta sweat!! The other challenging part is I am also working on losing weight and getting myself back in shape. Since the surgery I've noticed my stomach muscles have never been the same, so I've been working to get them strengthened again.  Needless to say, this will be the second time I will have to work at dropping a few pounds.  The good news is, after being at it for 5 weeks, I've dropped at least 6 lbs. and all my pants are getting loose! :)  A well balanced diet and exercise REALLY works!  I feel healthier and happier and I couldn't love it any more! I know this lifestyle will help me, Rob, our future kids and our families.
well hope that wasn't too boring! If anybody has any questions about health and fitness just holler! In five months I'll be out in the world making a difference! we both are! :)
