I realized that I hadn't posted anything in a while, so I figured it was time for an update. The big news around our household right now is that Drew is finally graduating!!! The school still tried to keep him there a little longer. His advisor first told him everything looked good, and then said that he actually needed two more credits because the checklist that he had been going by had a misprint. So he had to appeal so that some of his co-op semesters would count, and thankfully the higher-ups accepted that. I think they just wanted to get more money out of him since every appeal costs like $40 or something. But that is over, all he has to do is buy his cap and gown and walk across a stage on May 10th and he'll officially be done! He's been thinking about taking the Professional Engineering exam, so please pray that God will give him direction on that.
We are still eating well and getting healthier. I have finally convinced Drew that his pants are too big so he bought a smaller size last week and they look great. Now if only I can get him to buy a smaller belt instead of putting more holes in the one he has! I haven't lost that much more, but I'm starting to be able to tell a difference in my clothing. I'm wearing a pair of pants today that I thought were going to be too small! The best thing about this though is that I'm changing my attitude about food. If we go out to dinner, no matter how good I think something might be, I think about how bad it is for me. Plus, that gives me the challenge of trying to make a healthy version at home. I've come up with some pretty tasty recipes! I'm trying to write them down so that I can share them, but it's kind of difficult because I rarely measure any of my spices or other flavorings. But, I will share once I get them all figured out.
