#1 No new theme so far. The only ones I like to date are the ones you have to pay for. Is it really worth $55? No, I didn’t think so. So I’m going to attempt to customize this one a little bit. I really would rather the sidebars to be on either side instead of both right but his theme isn’t set up like that at. all. I looked at the code and it sort of treats it as one big blob instead of two sidebars. I need to change up the font or color of the body of the posts. It’s just too hard to read to me. I want the date to be an image instead of it just writing it out. I think that’s all I can think of for now 🙂

#2 I am on myspace again. Search for Amy Bennett or my myspace address ends with amyjbennett. Can’t think of the URL that goes before that but if you still can’t find me, let me know.

#3 I don’t think I’ve mentioned it, but I’m on facebook as well.

WW Day 15

August 9, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

I already wrote this post once and I think something didn’t save right…anyway…

I lost another pound this morning, making me 1/2 lb away from goal. Yay!

I didn’t think it was possible after splurging at church so much last night. I was at 11 points for the day and didn’t eat dinner before I went. I chowed down on doughnuts and cookies and cheese and crackers, etc. I figured if I was going to splurge, I may as well do it right. So I was quite surprised to see the pound gone this morning but no complaints here.

Tonight will be tough

Tonight is the last youth group meeting with St and Sh. I am going to be a blubbering mess. In fact, I’ve already been a blubbering mess once today. I was chatting with her today and she told me to check the new church’s web site, that they had posted their picture as well as a little note St had written to the congregation. That set the tears off.

I think the youth tonight are doing a presentation and party for him and I hope it’s done in a funny way because if it’s done in a serious way, I seriously won’t be able to see after I’m done crying tonight.

9 years ago

Nine years ago today I wasn’t sure if my SIL would be in my wedding.

Nine years ago today I had just gotten a letter in the mail from one of my bridesmaids telling me what an awful friend I had been.

Nine years ago today mom and I were having our billioneth disagreement about the wedding.

And yes, nine years ago today Scott and I were married.

Just like the days leading up to the wedding, in all the bliss, it hasn’t been perfect. The last two years especially have been hard and even through the worst, we both knew we could and would never leave each other’s side.

Nine years ago today we promised to love each other through thick and thin and we’ve learned that love is certainly not an emotion but an action. This anniversary I’m so thankful I have a husband that loves God as much as I do and is as serious about his relatinoship with Christ as I am. I’m thankful for a husband that loves his children with every ounce of his body as much as I do. And I’m even more thankful he loves me with every fiber of his being.

I love you, babe.

WW – 2 Weeks

August 8, 2007 by Amy Leave a Comment

Weight watchers decided to reward me for making it to the two week mark by taking back the pound I gained yesterday. So I’m a little bummed I had only planned on staying on this for a week and now here I am at 2 weeks with the last pound and a half to go. However, I can’t complain too much. I lost 3 lbs the first week and 1 1/2 lbs this week so maybe only another week or two of strict point counting and I’ll be set.

Just about to melt

My van told me it was 101 degrees today and supposedly it’s supposed to stay in the hundreds this week. Our pool was 91 degrees today. It was insanely wonderful.

The girls started swimming today with only their floatie bathing suits and without their swimmies. Now when they jump in, they go fully under water. Emma holds her nose while Lexi doesn’t but they both do well handling going under water. There was a lot more coughing and spitting of water without them but we’re one step closer to full-on swimming.
