PHOTOLIOS


So, the whole time we have been here in the swimming pool called the south, Goodlooking has been growing out his MANLY face hair.  Here are some photos as evidence.






When we leave this sauna, we will be back in the Provo Bubble and back to shaving his face all the time so he can take tests and go to class and such.  I LOVE HIM!!

Found a Tool

I have been trying to lose weight for about probably my whole life but actively trying for about a year and a half and today, I found a tool online that I think would be a little more helpful than just working out and eating less.  I have been frustrated this summer because I work out 4x a week and have had no success after 2 months.  I found the website that I can journal everything (weight, activity, and feelings) on.  Here's to my new goal!!

MY HUSBAND CAN OUTSHOP ME!!

Today, we drove to Alabama and visited the USS Alabama.  It was pretty cool (for those who don’t know, it is a huge battleship).  Actually, to be more accurate, it was flippen HOT! We went maybe three or four levels down and checked everything out it is amazing to see the kitchen that fed over 2000 people that lived on the ship.  We also saw all the medical areas and they were pretty primitive.  For example, the dental office still had the old spit bowl ( I wonder when the dental vacuum was invented…).  After that, we checked out the air museum and there was a huge jet that Jack really liked and it can go faster than a bullet.  It said that if a bullet could go across the US, that jet would beat it by seven (7) minutes. Hows that for fast?!

We then headed down to the hotel we are staying at (just a cheap place to stay), and we found a Tanger outlet.  It was HUGE!!  We thought “there are a few things that we need so we will look around.”  He went through MAYBE 1/3 and it took 4 hours.  We didn’t stay more than 20 minutes in one store but it still took forever.  We got in the car to go and I asked Goodlooking “were you done shopping?. Like you couldn’t do it anymore?” and he said, “No.”  My husband can outshop me!!!  I have a headache and my feet hurt really bad.  I think it’s cause he grew up with girls.  I’m not saying that as a bad thing because that means he can easily do all the school shopping when we have kids and when they get to that age.  I bought a DRESS.  I have never chosen to own a dress that was not for a specific event.  It is pretty cute polka dots, knee length, and silky.  I also got a backpack for school.  It will carry my computer and books and it was pretty cheap from Jansport.

We went to the beach after the sun went down and it was WONDERFUL!  It was real and better than the dirty pond we went to.  Though the pond was a fun trip, it didn't have waves or the smell.

EXCITED FOR TOMORROW!!!

Bigger is NOT better

  • Mississippi had the highest rate of adult obesity, 32.5 percent, for the fifth year in a row.
  • Three additional states now have adult obesity rates above 30 percent, including Alabama, 31.2 percent; West Virginia, 31.1 percent; and Tennessee, 30.2 percent.
  • In 1991, NO state had more than a 20 percent obesity rate. Today, the only state that doesn’t is Colorado, at 18.9 percent.
  • Eight of the 10 fattest states are in the South. The Northeast and West are slightly slimmer than the rest of the country.
  • Mississippi also had the highest rate of overweight and obese children, at 44.4 percent in total. It’s followed by Arkansas, 37.5 percent; and Georgia, 37.3 percent.
  • Following Alabama, Michigan ranks No. 2 with fat boomers; 36 percent of its 55- to 64-year-olds are obese. Colorado has the lowest rate, 21.8 percent.

OUR COUNTRY IS GETTING BIGGER!!!! 
 I don't know how or where they got their information so I am not sure how credible it is BUT it was a news headline so that has to have at least a little bit of weight (no pun intended).   

FOUND THESE TODAY

My computer can do tricks


These were taken at a hotel somewhere in the mid United States on our way to humidity
We are in LOVE can't ya tell
We are still here in Mississippi and it is getting hotter and wetter without rain.  How is that possible?!  HUMIDITY.  Its been a trial at times and not too bad at other times.  I get up and take the other interns wife to work at 7:45 then head off to work out for 45 minutes.  I come home and cool off then shower then laundry or clean then shower.  I then do whatever I can think of to do.  I have found a website where I can scrapbook online and I have been doing that a bit.  I like it because it is free and I can save it on my computer and print it when I want.  I don't like that it seems somewhat cold or impersonal but once I print it I can add some lovin'.  Sometimes I go for groceries or I go pay utilities or some days I get called for a job (not very often).   and that is how it is.
