Introduce Yourself! (and some updates)

There will be no "What I'm Cooking Wednesday" post today, because I'm just not feelin' it. Maybe next week. I have been having a hard time keeping up with things lately because I've been busy with lots of things to do and plans to make! It's a good kind of busy.

Lately I've been noticing a lot of new commenters here. And I always mean to check out each and every blog, but sometimes I forget! So today I thought it would be a good idea if you could introduce yourself if I'm not already a follower of your blog. Then I will go through and visit all of your blogs too! I love making new blog-friends :-)

I guess I'd like to update on life a little bit today too. First of all, our small group is still going great! We all had a great time at group on Monday. And on Tuesdays, some of our husbands play wallyball (that's right...not volleyball) together, so all of the women hung out together at our friend Karen's house while the guys played last night. We talked and played with her adorable dog and watched Biggest Loser. It was a fun night! I've mentioned before that I have weird issues of feeling like I'm behind in life or something because most of my friends are already moms. But these ladies are all in the same place as I am...young married couples who don't have kids yet. It just feels easier hanging out with them, I guess. Does this make sense at all? I guess I'm rambling...but anyway, it has been a lot of fun to make some new friends!

Sometime in February, I wrote about how I wanted to lose weight for my sister's wedding. I did really well for about a week! And then I had a really bad week and found out some tragic news, and honestly used food to cope with things. Not a good plan. I haven't really gotten back into working out again. BUT...I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and found that I managed to lose 1 lb. in the last month. haha! So I guess that's something. At least I didn't gain weight. I plan on trying to begin again this month.

It's snowing right now. And I mean REALLY snowing. It depresses me. I wish I were exaggerating...

I mentioned in my week in review post that Luke, JC, and I are planning on buying bikes soon. I'm so excited about this! Luke and JC are actually out right now looking at some, but I opted to stay home and have some chill time since I'm not quite ready to buy one just yet. Anyway, I hope to spend many hours on bike trails this spring and summer. Hopefully it will help me get in shape for Julie's wedding, too!
And I think that's all I have for today! Have a fabulous Wednesday :-) Hopefully it's not snowing where you are...

  1. I've left you a few comments recently...and I always feel like some sort of weird stalker since I don't know you in real life and also can't remember whose blog I hopped from to find yours. But I love your blog! And you inspired me to do weekly recap posts - and I love that! Thanks for the inspiration! (Oh - I'm Bekah from Bekah's Bits.) :)

  2. I'm glad that small group is going so well! I think the biking idea sounds fun - I wonder what happened to my old bike - it's been forever since I went on a bike ride!

  3. That is great that the small group is going so well. :) I feel like I'm behind in life as well, and it makes it worse that people constantly hound me, and try to make me feel "wrong" because we don't have children yet. I wish there were more people in our stage of life that we could hang out with, maybe someday soon.

  4. Hi jessica. I once read the way to get a lot of traffic on your blog is to comment on other blogs and like bekah above said. i too feel stalkerish. I once commented on another blog something like "oh hi. im new here. your daughter is so cute she reminds me of my daughter." and so regreted posting that. hello creeper! lol. wellll we both go to DFC so i dont know if you will reconize my pics or not. i have no clue how i actually found your blog. but i love reading blogs and am always clicking through blog rolls so who knows. I recently began writing my own blog. I love it. I hope you visit and maybe you will like it too. I also gave you some love and added you to my blog roll. =)

  5. It's so great to hear that you've found friends who you can relate to, that's important. I'm a single mom to a 4-year-old, and I find comfort in having friends who can understand and relate to my situation. I recently found your blog after reading In My Twenties. I love reading both blogs!
