Weight loss
I HATE DIETING! WIth that being said... i hate being chunky even worse. No one ever told me that with a c-section comes a year of hell with weight loss. oh and my scale is broken... er dead batteries. But if you live here you know how slim the chances are the px will have the batteries you need!
My goal- packing my size 6 pants before the movers get here! With out a muffin top!
My strategy- SLim fast 3-2-1 plan and Cha-lean Extreme. I started Chalean yesterday and let me tell you I'm SORE! In a very good way! I think that she is more fun than Insanity by a long shot! I have started Slimfast 3-2-1 today and it sucks but I already feel that this will be the best effective method for my lifestyle. And it helps with the dishes! ;)
I must be shorts ready for Georgia!
Biz
I have found that starting a biz is hard. There is not a lot of realiable sources out there. Especially for online boutiques. So far I have found that I need an EIN to file taxes and order supplies in bulk. Register the name in the state in which i reside... thats a problem with mil spouses considering I move every 3 years! AND I am not in the states right now! Get an LLC or a DBA... I think that I am going to go the LLC route. And some of the things that I have read says that I need a biz lawyer... lordy lordy! After I get Tittle-Tatle up running and moving I am starting a "Start your own online boutique blog" linked to my website! This is just insane!
The Move oconus to conus
It is a headache... more so than moving in. Now we have a dog. A BIG dog. yea.... 4.5 months left... Honestly, i am a little nervous about moving back. Just piles and piles of paper work, meetings and so on. We will survive! The worst part is that Autumn's first birthday is 6 days before we fly out... If you know me then you know that I am still trying to work out a plan for her first party... If you are in the area and have ideas let me know! Thanks!
Now... I am hungry.. i think ill go have some cake.. I mean fruit! :P

I hope i have better luck with the wives at our next post... something tells me other wise. At least ill have more time for college and finally get my degree done!

Italia Roma 2011 march
The hotel- we stayed at the royal palace hotel. It is a 5-10 minute walk to the Vatican. The hotel has 10 rooms and a really bad view! The floors were texturized wo we had to wear shoes all the time and Autumn couldn't crawl on the floor. The room was nice and cozy other than the floors. The hotel provided wireless Internet. They also brought breakfast tom the room. Lots of bread, cereal, eggs, meat, cheese, juice and coffee. A suitable breakfast for a family backpacking Rome.
The food - AMAZING! While there we had- gelato in vanilla, cookie, cappuccino and lemon. Proschuto de prima sandwhiches, spahgetti, tortallini, tiramisu, lemon cake, lemon chelo, wild berry crepe, all kinds of pizza, cappuccino, water form the fountains of Rome, Italian coke, olives, mozzarella,wine and bread. I really think that Italy is God's kitchen!
The flight- we flew from Brussels to champigono via Ryan air. While it was cheap I am not a fan. Tho we will probably fly through them again. If you leave ur ticket at home you will pay for another. Bad customer service! But u get what you pay for. No assigned sitting. Was weird for me but neat. The stroller survived to and from and so did Autumn. It wasnt bad at all but we had to pay from autumns return ticket twice. The parking cost 55 euro for 5 days. It as fine.
The tour - we paid for a tour of the vaticAc, basilica, an Sistine chapel. The lady that gave us the tour was very I formative and nice. We really enjoyed it. Michell Angelo is kind of An ass. The story has it the pope Of that time hired M.A. to paint and his paintings were not very"catholic" so one of the cardinals kept running to the pope about every tiny thing that M.A. painted. He pissed off M.A. so much that the wall of the last judgment he painted this cardinal in hell with donkey ears and a snake wrapped around him I hell. This cardinal went to the pope and he asked him to get him out of hell. The pope said that his jurisdiction is heaven, he had no jurisdiction over hell. He told the cardinal that he would have to stay I hell. There was nothing that he could do! I thought that was interesting.
Places we saw- Castel St. Angelico at night. It was pretty. Piazza Navona, had very pretty fountains. I thin, we went to the Spanish steps... Idk. We saw the great mouth. Where parliament goes. Collessium, and the ruins, where the Christians were persecuted, the chariot park.. And the list goes on!
It was amazing and if you can go to Italy do! Take an extra suitcase for souvenirs and stay for at least 2 weeks! Oh, and Italians loooooooooooove babies!
Side note-the hotel did not have a p lace for autumn to sleep so she slept in a drawer that pulled out from under the bed. I lined i t with a thick quilt provided by the hotel and she slept safe and sound!

What a day....
To start-
Taxes... yes we love this time of year -you become a king a a pouper. We landed somewhere in between. Gotta love that child tax credit.
We got mail!
I got my boxes from amazon today! Autumn loves her vulli's Sophie the Giraffe Teether. But not as a teether she rolled over on it and slammed her feet on it. She thought it was Hillarious! I also purchased a Fisher Price Healthy Care Forest booster for her. AND she did love that one. I now know why she doesn't eat very well.... she gets bord. We got her a few more things but the one that i was kind of excited about was the dish. It holds 3 differnt sections of food, come with a lid that wont spill and keeps the food seperate and an spoon that attaches. AWESOME.
Autumn-
She has been so fussy today! I wanted to literally pull my hair out. I cant wait for these teeth to come through....

reminiscing
Joe and I have been together a VERRRRY long time. He was my first everything. Joe has had my heart since I was 15 years old. I have had his since he was 17.
I remember our first "kiss" like it was yesterday. He tried twice but I froze! The third time he asked and I had to give in! I was so nervous my heart raced and I became light headed from the excitement. I remember the moment I realized I loved him and the moment that I knew he was mine.
We have been together for 10 years now. There has been hell and heaven in our relationship. Every time we were apart we found our way back. This man has been in my every passing thought for 10 years. 10 years... Wow. that is a long time to be with someone. I am glad that I told him to marry me.
I love where this relationship has brought us... But sometimes I wish I could be 16 again making out with him against his old Monte Carlo. With a blanket wrapped around us both. Begging him to stay just a minute longer.... To be 19 again seeing him for the first time in 2 years, getting that amazing kiss on my bed.
umm... the memories.
Love in it's bloom is so exciting....
