A year catch up

Wow I hadn't realized it had been a whole year since I have updated the blog! A lot has happened in the year with the passing of Steven after we returned from Disney, new jobs, school, new boys and we moved out and back home within a month. It was a hard year and we are still recovering and will always be mourning.

Maren starts a new job at Cybersource after being at KOPFC for 4 years. She starts on monday and is really excited.

I completed a dental assisting program and have been a temp but haven't been able to find anything long term. I am going to SLCC and actually thinking of going to UVU in the fall to finish my associates. I am going for a degree in business to either run a business or work as a manager somewhere. I have thought about a photography studio, a bakery, or even going into business with Ashley and start a salon with her. Recently I have thought about party planning since we have gotten 3 weddings together without a wedding planner and we are always have some sort of shin-dig that needs planning. I really enjoy all the work of preparing everything, but then seeing how much everyone enjoys themselves when things are complete and the party is going. I have dated Marcus, I will have to get a pic on here or he will be pretty mad that I haven't. But I also dated Brenton, I am sure you all have your own opinions. I am single right now and kinda just seeing what happens.

I have been working on losing weight. In January when I started I weighed 160 and almost out a size 13 pant. I have been running two miles every other day and eating right and really cutting back on ice cream and not getting up for seconds or if I do it is not the same size helping as the first. I am now a size 8 or 7 not real sure on the weight since I think it is more important about my pant size than how much I weigh. I really enjoy running now which i used to hate, probably because I couldn't run very long. I am still trying to lose weight not just keep it off. My goal weight is 135 so we will see if I get there.
Maren has also been working with me to lose weight and has lost a lot. It is very apparent in our pictures ha ha

But I think that catches you up on our past year and where we will be going from here. Hopefully from here on out we will be able to keep you updated on our lives in a timely matter.
