Been quite some time since I have had a chance to post but will try and get more regular. Christmas was ok. A bit weird not being in our own home but the kids got everything they wanted so that was good. New Years Eve was nice. Went out to eat as a family than Lisa went off to party and Jonathan had friends over. Andrew hung out with the boys in the basement and Keith and I watched a movie. I made lots of snacky food around 10:30 and the boys came up here to hang out till after midnight. Keith went and got Lisa at 2:30 in the morning as she was quite upset. Finally got  to sleep at 3:00.

Have many goals for January and feel I am doing well for the first week. Did the Treadmill 5 days this week mostly for an hour each day and did strength training 3 days. Scale does not seem to be working so will have my first weigh in next week.

Been awhile since I have had a chance to update my blog. We are moved into our rental home and had to wait a week before we got tv, internet and phone. Been busy unpacking all the clothes boxes from the fabric place and working on cleaning stuff from our house. Feel like I am finally back to a normal routine and can focus on the holidays!!!

Been awhile since I posted as the day after my last post we had a fire in our home. Our power went out on the 29th and stayed out all day on Sunday as well. We had our fire place going for 14 hours straight and a fire broke out in the room behind the fire place. The whole office went up in flames and the part of the living room was ruined by fire as well. The rest of the house has smoke damage and all the windows were broken due to the amount of smoke. The whole house has to be gutted and redone. We stayed with neighbors for a few nights than went to a hotel for another two. Switched to an efficiency hotel this Sunday and will be here until the 21st. We will move to a rental home at that point and be there for about 7 months. Here are a few pics of the inside of the house.
