Operation Clark Slim Down

So, Kellan and I have eaten very well since we got married, a little too well. Ha. We both realized that we need to loose weight. I am at my heaviest ever and Kellan is too. So, we enrolled in a gym at the beginning of the year and we have gotten personal training sessions as well. A big investment, but worth it for our health and life in general. We have weight lose goals and other things motivating us. We each have about 30 pounds in total to loose. That's a lot, but definitely do able. I am applying to be a nurse in the Navy Reserves and I am too heavy at this point. So, that is one motivation for me. Also, just to be healthy in general and feel good about myself and look nice for my husband. He is a good motivator as well and the fact that we are doing this together and eating healthier is nice!

We went to the gym 3 times this week! It's a start and we are both pumped to be skinnier and feel better! So, if you see us, encouragement is welcome! I will update you as Operation C.S.D. continues. Another fun journey with my husband!

Dinner

So, my intention for this blog is to, well write. It is not merely supposed to be about food, but I have been experimenting and I feel like sharing. So, this blog will be about my dinner last night, which I am pretty pumped about. Ha. Kellan has been wanting homemade meatballs, so I did a little research online and found a pretty easy sounding recipe and added a little of my own pizazz. Then, I have been on a bread making kick, thanks to my friend Kelsey. So, last night I attempted and succeeded in making homemade Italian bread from Kellan's mom's recipe. No bread maker, just ingredients, my hands and the oven. It was pretty delicious, I was impressed with myself. So, meatballs and spaghetti and Italian bread was a success. Go me!

What's Next...

Kellan and I are both currently in school to get our Master's in Business Administration. We graduate in May of this year. We are SO excited and ready for it!! The next step... Not exactly sure what it will look like. But, my hopes are that it takes me away from Indiana! We have both been praying that God opens and closes doors for us. We like the D.C. area, but it is so expensive and Kellan really wants to have a job before we were to move there. I have already gotten 2 calls about jobs there, one today from Virginia Hospital and the other in December from Georgetown. It's so exciting! Too bad we can't just flip a coin. Our other location choice would be Lexington, KY area. Which is beautiful! I would't mind living there either, and buying a house would happen much faster than if we lived in D.C. There are so many things to consider. I am just ready to move and have a bigger place and work at a different hospital. I have always told Kellan that I would go anywhere with him, and I mean that. Please pray with us that God guides us through this process so that we know where He wants us to be!

Voice of Truth

So, I was driving in my car this morning and Casting Crowns, "Voice of Truth" came on the radio. I swear, music gets to me. I started singing along and tears were pouring down my face. God has a wonderful way of reminding us of His love. He knows that music means a lot to me and He had the perfect song come on to ease my nerves and remind me that He is the voice of truth and I need to stop forgetting that. Thank you God for your little reminders and your constant love!

Homemade Pizza!

Kellan and I love cooking! Especially making homemade pizza! He is fantastic at it, and every time we make it, it gets better and better. This week we made ham and pineapple with onion. A nice golden brown crust, Parmesan and

mozzarella cheese melted on top! So yummy! I am so thankful that my husband enjoys cooking and is good at it!

Ready for May...

I am sitting in my apartment, watching the white snow fall. Not going to lie, I am tired of it! I am ready for May. And not just because of the sun! I am ready to be done with school, this tiny apartment, Anderson. I am ready for what is next!
