My brother Sam will be serving a mission in the Santa Rosa CA mission...SPANISH speaking! WAHOO!! I love ya Sambee!

I saw and X-boyfriend on campus and couldn't believe he lives here in Logan. I think that's crazy sauce! He was trying to make sure I knew he was married and unavailable. UM...HELLO??? I AM A LOT MORE UNAVAILABLE THEN YOU MR.!! Look, we don't have to be friends, we don't even know each other anymore!! Yea, well I didn't say any of that of course. The good stuff always comes to ya after the fact doesn't it! I hope he's different than when I knew him, I know I sure am. He put us both through a lot of crap, but I was a complete mess too. It taught me a lot, but I definitely think it's insane that we both ended up moving to Logan with our spouses...not to mention living 6 blocks away from each other!! Too weird!

School and life is busy as usual. We watched a documentary called Food Inc. Click there for a preview. We both were amazed at all that we learned and it really affected me, in a good way. We've thought so much about it and really have tried to implement a lot of what we learned into our diet. We HIGHLY recommend you watch it. We rented it and ended up buying it afterwords. In light of all we learned from that we've also been re-reading the Word of Wisdom and other scriptures in the Bible that talk about the use of meat from animals and other foods. The documentary really seems to be in line with the guidelines in the scriptures, which is great!

It's been really neat and we're working hard to get a good balance. We have been eating more vegetarian then we did a few weeks ago. It's been good in some ways, but I've felt really REALLY faint, tired, I'm paler than usual, and clammy. I have hypoglycemia and protein gives me the energy I need to function. I've tried all kinds of nuts, brown rice with veggies, cottage cheese, peanut and almond butter, soy milk, etc. but it's not doing the trick. It's almost been two weeks and I think I need to re-vamp things. I talk to a Registered Dietitian about it and order a book full of Vegan recipes too. I hope to find a way to eat meat less, but still get the energy I need. It takes a lot of work and time to figure all this out, but it's WORTH IT!! Anything that is hard is also worth it.

We are excited to weigh in on Friday and see if we've maintained or lost any more weight. We get to hear from an "Iron Man" Thursday night, that should be interesting...haha!

Is anyone else tired of the bitter cold and snow? Utah County is warm compared to Logan. What a crazy difference 2 hours makes...

I miss our baby Nayia, as usual. But the waves seem to come stronger at different times. I can't believe she'd be almost 26 months. Before I know it her 3rd B-day will be here! I wish that I could be watching over her grave better, it's almost the only thing I can do as her mommy right now. I also wish we had someone looking over it for us, but I know that some family members go to see her and spend time there. That means so much to us...we love you!
