Fall is here!

I cannot believe how fast Summer has come and gone. Corey and I had a great Summer! Corey is still really enjoying his program and I am working my butt off to keep up with everything financially. I am currently working about 50 hours between 2 different jobs. Before you say anything, know that I wouldn't have it any other way! I am in constant need of being busy so this is exactly what I like to be doing. 

I am still on Weight Watchers and must reach out to my readers on this one! It has become so tough to stick with the plan in the past weeks. I need for you to check in with me, ask how I'm doing, ask if I've headed to the gym yet for the day. It would be much appreciated! I am down 11.2 lbs which is fantastic but I have got to keep going if I want to reach my goal weight and make this life style stick for good. Thanks! 

A couple weekends ago was Oktoberfest here in La Crosse, we had 9 people cramped into our apartment for the weekend and had a fabulous time! Thanks for making the trip Mom, Doug, Kathy, Jess, Dave, Rob, & Jenny!

Thanks for reading!

Lately

Hello all!

Not much to report. We are still loving La Crosse. Corey is doing well in school. He has 2 weeks off coming up and is excited for a break! I still don't have a stable job but know one will come up soon. I have been able to enjoy my Summer and have taken some time to relax and take care of me which I haven't done in years. I have lost 8.4 lbs since joining Weight Watchers :)  That's about all I can think of! Hope all is well in your lives!

Losing it

Literately! Today was my Weight Watchers weigh in and I am down 3.2 lbs. Pretty awesome for my first week! This was super motivating and made me even more excited for my weight loss journey!

In other news the La Crosse job market is terrible and I am becoming very frustrated with not being able to find a second job. My job at Nell's City Grill seems it will only be on weekends and I need to find something else to fill in the gaps.

Hope all is well! -Casey

Settling In

Hello! Sorry I am so bad at updating this but in all reality we don't lead a super exciting update every day life. We are all settled in here in La Crosse, WI and absolutely loving it! Corey is doing great in his first month of school and likes his program and classmates a lot.

I went to one day of work at Ciatti's Italian Restaurant before deciding it wasn't for me and began working at Nell's City Grill a few nights ago! I will be doing part time serving and part time catering.

On Monday I attended my first Weight Watchers meeting and found myself inspired and really ready to begin this weight loss journey! I will try and keep you updated with how it is going as the weeks progress. We have been far more active and eating a lot better since moving to La Crosse.

Hope all is well in everyone else's world's! Love, Casey and Corey

Big move!

So sorry I haven't updated in so long! We have been soo busy getting ready for the big move! We plan to move on June 1st into the top floor of a house. It's a 2 bedroom 1 bath with a lot less room than we have now but we are excited to see what La Crosse has in store for us! Me... still no job in La Crosse to support Corey and I on, but I know I will find something once we get there and I start the search. 

I cannot believe we will already be celebrating one year of marriage in 7 short days here!! Time flies by sooo fast!! Thank you to everyone who has supported us in all that we do! WE LOVE YOU!

I'm off to the Roadhouse for the day, updates and pictures of the new place coming soon hopefully :)

House Hunting!

Corey and I have been house hunting like crazy lately. After a few things falling through I am currently very frustrated with this process. Of course it doesn't help that we are trying to do it from Duluth and save ourselves a 4 1/2 hour trip to La Crosse. If anyone knows some housing connections in La Crosse please let us know! I also had no idea how hard it would be to find a place that allows cats. Every time I call a place and we get to chatting they end up telling me they don't accept pets. We love our furry friends too much to part with them so that is just not an option.

Other then house hunting we have just been working like crazy. I am currently putting in about 45-50 hours a week between both of my jobs and Corey is at about the same. Our schedules are very different meaning we don't see each other a lot but we find about 1 day a week usually where we can spend time together. This weekend we are heading to the Cities to spend time with my parents as they recently returned from their 2 month get away in Melaque, Mexico!


That's all I have for now!!

Big Weekend!

We have had a pretty busy couple of days! On Thursday we found out that Corey has been accepted into the Clinical Exercise Physiology program at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. He will start school on June 6th! On Friday we headed up to Thunder Bay to celebrate the marriage of Corey's brother Jeremiah and his new wife Whitney. It was a very small but beautiful ceremony followed by a fabulous dinner at the hotel we stayed at. It was so wonderful to be able to spend time with them and our little niece Kathleen. She is growing up so fast! Here are some pictures of our short trip!

Busy!

I would love to update this more often, however not much is new and life is super busy! I am keeping busy between my two jobs and Texas Roadhouse and Planned Parenthood. Corey keeps busy with his job at UMD as well as being the youth director at First Covenant Church. We had a chance to see Alice and Wonderland 3D on Friday. I would definitely recommend it! Corey's brother Jeremiah is getting married this weekend! We are heading up to Thunder Bay to spend some time with them on their special day! That's all I have for now. Thanks for following, I will update again soon!

9 Months!

Corey and I have been married for 9 months now! In these past 9 months I have learned sooo much!

1. We make great travel partners! We have had the opportunity to travel twice since our wedding, once to San Francisco for our honeymoon and more recently to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. We would love to head out again before our next move!

2. Laundry for 2 people really seems like laundry for about 5 people.

3. The newlywed 15 is real. I have successfully gained 10 pounds since our wedding. Bummer.

4. I can cook!

5. You can live with your significant other and still manage to never see them. We tend to work opposite schedules with Corey mostly working during the day, and myself mostly working nights. It can be very frustrating at times.

6. We are so excited for the unknown. Were here in Duluth right now and really don't know whats next and that to us is very exciting! We don't feel heavily tied down to any certain area so we are free to go where ever we choose.

Below are some pictures of the past 9 months!

Welcome!

Welcome to our blog! Blogging seems to be getting pretty huge these days and I thought it would be a great way for our friends and family to keep up with our latest happenings up here in Duluth!

Corey and I had the opportunity to attend the 31st Annual Eelpout Festival this year! We had a blast selling merchandise and playing out on the ice in our spare time!
