Emergency Fund

I have been working on building my emergency fund for the past 9 months (since April 2008).
And, today I finally finished!!!!!!!!! Yahoo and I finished the 3rd Twilight book and started the 4th last night.
It feels so good to have finished my emergency fund goal. I thought it was going to take 2.5 years to build up my fund but I worked really hard to cut back on spending and was able to do it in 1/4 the time.
Yay!
It wasn't really that hard either. I just started noticing where I was spending excess money that wasn't necessary to live off of and cut back on that... like the nail salon, hair cuts, cokes, maid service, car washes, eating out....
so, I guess I basically made my life simpler and it wasn't too bad. Bri seems happier :)
So, yay!
Now, I'm training for a 5K in February (Cowtown) and working on my triathalon for March.

That's all the exciting news I have right now.

27 Weeks Pregnancy Update

27 weeks today. Is this the third trimester or not?!? Some websites say it is, some says 28 is. So, I'm not too sure. Weight Gain:  33.3 lbs total. Only half a pound of away from what I gained with Jamyson and I still have 13 weeks left (waaaahhhh.....) I feel huge. I am huge! It's harder to walk and my feet hurt now, lol. Exercise:  I'm still walking but I cut back last week and only did 14.7 miles. I broke the 200 miles for the year for the "run the year 2017"! However, the more I walk, the more I eat and the more weight I gain (eek)! Cravings/Diet:  I've been craving lemon lime gatorade. Weird right?! It's delicious. I've also been getting reece's blasts from Sonic. They are so good! I threw in a cooke dough blizzard from dairy queen. That was delicious and not helping with my weight gain. Morning Sickness: Still no morning sickness but I'm still taking 2 diclegis every night. Sleep:  Didn't nap as much last week. Just didn...

I hate Mondays!!!!!

Friday night I went to see Highschool musical with Bri. It was a great movie, the best of the high school trilogy by far! Definately made for the big screen. It was about the high school musical cast's senior year. So, it reminded me of when I was in highschool and everyone says, "You have the power to become whatever you want to become... ... Then, you start to think... I want to change the world... I will be 26 in one month and I have realized that when someone tells you that you can be anything you want to be, it is not necessarily true. I do agree that people create their own destiny and are forced to turn any situation into a good one BUT my life turned out nothing like I imagined it. Last night, Bri said she wished that her whole family lived together in the same house and then she started crying. I told her I was sorry she felt that way and that I understood because I used to want to live with ANYBODY else besides my family. When I was in highschool I researched college...
