Best news ever!!

The best news EVER!!

My husband got a job! He lost his job nearly 3 years ago in June of 2008. And he went back to school. And then he wasn't doing anything. And it really sucked. And then he wasn't getting unemployment. And that really sucked. And then Wednesday he got a job interview and he went for it. And then Thursday they called him back and said we want to make you can offer can you come back on Friday? And then Friday they offered him the job!

This is HUGE! You have no idea. I mean, I was thinking of picking up another job. You cannot imagine what an enormous amount of stress this takes off of me. If you know me, like really know me, this is HUGE!!

We went out to dinner to celebrate on Friday. I had pancakes! Ha. I love pancakes. Yet, somehow I managed to still lose weight. I was down 1.6 pounds. 163.4 pounds my friends. Still amazing. A-MAY-ZING!

Saturday I went to the gym and after a mile and half that run was just not for me. So I decided to try a few other things. I did the Jacob's Ladder. HA! That did not last longer. That bad boy kicked my butt. It's HARD! WOW! I have always wanted to try it and it was tough. And then I did the bike for awhile. But it was a workout.

That night we went out shopping. Hubby wanted to get some work clothes. And I got some new dresses. Size medium. I was freaking out in the dressing room.

Sunday was a big day. Not only did I have a long run, it was 30 days until the half marathon and it was also the Daytona 500!! Woohoo!! Haha.

Here I am before my run in the car:

And then after at the gym:

It was pretty darn hot in that gym. But I did it. I was a littler slower then I wanted to be due to a few runners cramps, but it's all good my friends. Even if I do not run the whole half, I will finish it. And then I can make sure to finish the next one in October (we'll talk about that in the future, don't worry).

I then had to rush home to get myself ready for the 500!! I wore my Ryan Newman shirt, had my coffee in my Ryan Newman travel mug and settled in for 200 miles of AWESOME!! Haha. Unfortunately, my man was taken out with like 11 laps to go. He lead the most laps. He almost won his second Daytona 500. But I'm over that and happy with the results.

Also, let me just say, I got the best coffee in the world at Target on Saturday night. It's amazing. It's Strawberry Shortcake flavored and made by Dunkin' Donuts. It's so good! I love it.

I had plans to go to the gym for 4 miles today and do some weights, but thanks to the charming town plows that kept waking me up every hour, I didn't. I almost didn't run at all, but squeaked out 3 miles on my home treadmill. And was so glad for that.

I have a feeling that this is going to be an amazing week!!
