Kyle and I have always wanted to raise our kids in a small community, like we grew up in. And the perfect opportunity recently presented itself to us. Kyle was contacted by his hometown hospital about a position that would soon be open. He interviewed, and was offered the postion all within 5 days!! He is the new Materials Management Director- and I am so proud of him :) ((Did I mention he starts in less than 2 weeks))
We always wanted to be back "home" by the time Austin went to school, and now it happening sooner than we thought. It is a great opportunty for Kyle, and we will be making some big decisions over the next couple months, and possibly living apart in order for me to find a job up in the area. We are very excited, yet I feel overwhelmed. I am one who doesnt take well to sudden changes, so I find myself getting worked up trying to figure out all the small details. I need to relax and let things happen. It wont be ideal as I will be in Omaha and my boys will be in Ida Grove for a couple months, but we will get thru it. We are making the right decision for our family, and will be happier being close to family and friends.
So we begin packing after 9 years in Omaha, I will sure miss having Wal-Mart and Target right up the street :)
I have a long to do list, so the next couple months may give me a few gray hairs... I wish I could push a button and move ahead 2 months, and be settled into a new house and have a new job and have everything figured out, but life doesnt work that way- so wish us luck on our new adventure :)

Happy Valentines Day
Hope everyone had a great day!!!
I'm afraid the Burger King playground will be our home away from home until it is nice enough to get to the park......
It makes him so happy though and he loves yelling, "hey kid" and playing with other children:)

Wonderful Weekend
We had a great weekend!!
Saturday Kyle had to go into work for a few hours, so I made sure that Austin was fed and napped by the time he got home. It was around 40 degrees out so we decided to head to the zoo. The wind was quite chilly, so we went to the indoor exhibits. After about 20 mins of slipping and sliding on the wet cold slick floors in the Gorilla Valley, we decided to head to an IMAX movie. Alaska was playing- but it didnt quite catch Austins attention like Bugs did this past summer.
So we grabbed all our stuff and walked out early and decided to do something a little more "2 year old friendly".
We went to Burger King and had Austins favorite food, "guy guys"- aka french fries. Then we went and played in the playyard area- which Austin loved.
On Sunday Kyle and I went to a movie while our sister in law watched Austin. We rarely get out anymore just the two of us. We definately need to start making that atleast a monthly priority.
We went and saw "Just Go With It", it was a really cute movie. Here is a quick recap;
On a weekend trip to Hawaii, a plastic surgeon convinces his loyal assistant to pose as his soon-to-be-divorced wife in order to cover up a careless lie he told to his much-younger girlfriend.

Lifestyle Change
Well.. after alot of contemplating and internal struggle, today is the day. I am starting a healthier lifestyle. Ive struggled with my weight since I was in college, and a few years ago I had lost 35 pounds following the South Beach Diet. But then I got pregnant and gained that back, plus 30 pounds.
I plan to follow South Beach for the most part, but really I going to be making better decisions. It isnt all about dropping the pounds, but becoming healthy and active.
I recently watched Jackie Warners Thintervention and bought one of her workout DVDs, she is such a motivation to me!!
I am excited to start this journey, and have several goals set for myself. I want to be healthy and happy for myself and my health, but also for my family. I want to be able to enjoy all activities with Austin and not be huffing and puffing because I am so out of shape.
I turn 30 in April, which I am not dreading at all. Im looking forward to moving onto a new chapter in my life, and I know by then I will be feeling alot better about myself. It may be selfish, but for the first time in a long time-- my focus is on ME. I am going to make my 30th year the best one yet!!!
