Good Times!

So mom and dad made it up to Utah a few days ago and it has been so great to see them. Dad drove mom up here to stay for a while since there is no power at home in Vidor. Dad got a plane ticket and left this morning since he has to be back at work tomorrow. He is supposed to come back up and pick mom up when Vidor is livable again with water and power, but who knows how long that will actually be...I have heard a lot of rumors about a lot of different times. But for now, it is nice to have mom close, I miss my family very, very much...
Not too much has been happening here around the house though. Brett is still trucking along in school and I am waiting to start work...next week hopefully. Did I tell you guys about our goal we set together? No fast food until New Years! For those of you who actually know Brett and I, you know how impossible that might be. Believe it or not though, we have made it almost a whole month! Woo hoo! Can I get an air five please? Surprisingly though, it hasn't been that bad, although the craving for a cheeseburger or a pizza still come around midnight. There's been more family dinners around the table, somewhat healthier dinner solutions, and I am improving on my cooking! haha Oh yeah, and money saved, always a good thing. Anywho, continue to wish us luck!

Hey I like the new background for your blog! I think it is a great idea to go off junk food. Wish I was as disciplined as you! junk food is what I crave. i can usually say no to sweets but a hamburger...
