Happy Wednesday!

Well, things are going fine around here. We are busy as usual and having a good time with it all. Jack is so happy to be back in school after his long X-mas break. Me too LOL I have been exercising consistently the last couple weeks and am eating pretty darn good, so I hope to start seeing a drop in weight. My goal is to lose 35 pounds at least by August 15. What's August 15th you ask? Well, that is when we will spend one glorious week at Bass lake. We normally spend 2 weeks there, but we just can't afford that this year. So we go from the 15-22nd of August and it will be our last summer hoorah before the kids start back to school in Septemeber. This year my mom, sister and nephew are joining us as well---and that will be oh so fun! I can't wait! We booked a different house this year because 1) we needed a bigger house this year since we have more people and 2) the place we were staying the last few years hasn't been kept up very well and we wanted to see what else was out there. We are going to be staying in a new cove called Willow Cove and that should be real fun. In related news, we are serious;ly discussing getting rid of our boat. We only use it when we hit Bass Lake, and now that we are only going for the 1 week, we feel it would be better to just rent a boat while we are there. It's a couple thousand dollars to rent it for the week, but it will cost just about the same for Ken to make the repairs the boat needs this year so I said "sell it!". Anyway, this is just babbling now---I must get the kids up and ready for school.
