New year, new life, new me.

This has been one crazy week. I've gotten sick, gotten paid, baked, went shopping, spent about $1000 (ouch!!), met some nice people at Lieutenant's pre-graduation party and cleaned!

Oh and silly me...I've started dieting as of midnight. I know what you're thinking, "But you'll miss out on all the good holiday food." I know right? But I'm at my heaviest right now and being healthy means more to me than food. So, I'm back on the Atkins diet. I did it once before and lost over 40 pounds in 3 months. I don't want to start a marriage, move, and continue with school at my current weight. I have enough stress as it is and my body is telling me that enough is enough!

But besides that, I can't wait for Christmas! Mom and dad are struggling this year so in lieu of payment for my cell phone, I bought their presents that they wanted to give the kids. Choosing which ones was at my discretion but I think I did them justice.

Below is a picture of the newest member of our family (my niece.) She's almost 4 months old, can you believe that?
