About Me

We are Daniel and Sara. We met October of 2006 and were married August of 2007 in the Salt Lake Temple. Since then we're kind of in the fast lane. We both got the baby bug pretty early on in our marriage and we welcomed our beautiful baby boy Dmitri in August 2008! We couldn't be happier! Daniel is a Captain in the Army and has his Bachelors in Nursing. We're living in HI and so far are enjoying our time here! I'm a stay at home mommy and am looking forward to finishing school. Blah :} Dan enjoys; hunting, basketball, shooting ranges, movies, *sigh - video games and Halloween. Sara enjoys; crocheting, baking, aquariums, sewing, shopping, swimming and trying to get organized. Dmitri enjoys; trying new food, crawling, bath time, stroller rides, electronics and getting into things he shouldn't. It takes all kinds to make up a family - and we cherish and love our little family! :)

New goals!

Ok - here is a list of new goals I've set.

1. Taking yoga classes at the gym.
I need something that isn't an intense workout - and just walking on the treadmill has become boring. I'm hoping a class will be just what I need. Now I'm not a big workout class person - I always look like a dweeb because I'm so uncoordinated with my body - and everyone else seems so advanced :/
I figure yoga doesn't require a lot of fast movement or crazy steps - so I should be okay.

2. EAT BETTER!
I think overall I've been doing okay. I try and eat every 2 to 3 hours [and have been really good with that]. I just need to calm it back down on the soda intake. I was doing really good with my water drinking - but stopped when we ran out of water bottles. I should buy more - I seem to do better with bottled water.
I need more fruit. I've been eating a lot of watermelon lately - so that's good. I just walk the produce section and nothing jumps out at me. I've been appled and oranged out from eating too many when I first got preggos.

3. Calm down on the candy and sweets!
I'm usually not a big candy person - but since being preggos - bring it on [this baby loves his candy!]! This worries me with my gestational diabetes appt coming up [on Friday]. They say there's not much you can do to avoid getting it - but I don't think eating a lot of candy and sweets - plus my upped laziness are helping. I need to restrict this intake.

4. Walk the dogs more.
We've been pretty good this last month. The weather has been nicer - so that makes it a lot easier. They are just so much more mellow when they've been walked. That and it's so good for their health and well being. Well I guess Daniel's and mine too :)
It's weird - Misha doesn't potty at all on walks! She's just so content to be out and going somewhere new - she's just in her own little world. Such a cutie :)

5. Swim my butt off this summer!
My parents have a pool - and I need to take advantage of this! They live about 30 minutes away - so that's not so good on gas [I paid $62.00 today to fill up our friggin' Subaru - it was sad. It's a sedan - not a monster SUV! It shouldn't be $62.00! I feel bad for those with the moosey SUV's. That sucks.]. But yea - swim swim swim! Takes pressure off my body - feels good - get a nice tan while I'm doing it :)

6. Be better church going folk.
Well we do make it to church - we need to get better about reading scriptures and saying prayers. Especially with a baby coming! We keep saying we're going to start and be better - but never quite get on track.
I also need to stop relying on Daniel to get me up on Sundays. I think it's because my parents always woke me up - so I don't bother. And why does 9 am on Saturday and Sunday seem so much earlier then 9 am on a M-F? This I can't figure out.

Well that's my list for now. I don't want to overwhelm myself too much XD

Oh so I think I just went threw a bit of the nesting phase. I bought Dmitri some clothes - and sheets recently. I know he's not due for another 2 months - but I felt the need to be somewhat prepared just in case. Anyways - I bought $70.00 worth of clothes for $30.00! I had a $10.00 off coupon from Old Navy - and they had some cute stuff that was on a 40% off sale. I'm stoked! And I bought him the CUTEST sheets from Pottery Barn Kids [I think they're darling]! They're white with green and blue whales on them. They were on sale for $11.99 - and for PBK - that ain't bad!

They're the white ones in back
I've become more frugal lately - this is good! I've turned into such a sale searcher. I had to buy dog food today [it's gone up $3.00 since the last time I bought it - LAME] but I had a $6.00 off coupon for it. Sigh - it feels good to save a buck or two :)

  1. What is it with waking up on the weekends? Seriously! I wake up naturally about 6 AM on the weekends now, but when my alarm goes off at 6 AM M-F..MEH. LOL! Those sheets are super cute! I can't wait for your baby shower! I finished the top of the blanket on Sunday! You're seriously gonna die when you see the fabric I found! It's so you, but little boy too! YAY! :D

    Oh and wait to be on the healthier-living! I'm going to try and follow in your footsteps! :)
