what's been going on

So.....in the past 3 weeks I have lost 8 pounds. I haven't even been trying to lose weight, but I have been stressed with work and life in general and I think that has been a key factor in this happening. I stepped on the scale (which I didn't own one of these until about 2 months ago) and had to take a double take when I looked down. It is weird to lose weight when you aren't trying.....kinda made me nervous at first, but then I thought, oh well. I just want to make sure I don't keep losing weight, because I definitely don't need to.

I haven't been very good about blogging lately, because I have been so busy. I have been putting in almost 50 hour work weeks every week for the past 3 weeks. You may not think the Real Estate market is that busy, but it is picking up. March 2008 to March 2009, the amount of home sales increased by 30%. That is actually a pretty significant number in 1 year due to where the housing market has been. Also, interest rates for loans right now are at an all time low and with the new Obama program everyone who can is refinancing, keeping me VERY busy.

I am thankful however for my job. I am happy that I have something to pour myself into right now. If I didn't I think I would be having a lot more difficult time with life.

Life has been stressful because I have been feeling very isolated lately. In my neighborhood Luke and I are the only ones without kids. Out of all our friends (who live in this country) we are the only ones without kids or pregnant. I do not resent my friends for this, however it puts me in a very different place in life. I love kids and will play with kids and what not, but as you mom's know, I can't full understand what it is like for you because I don't have a child of my own on this earth. Now by saying this I am not asking for a pitty party, I am just trying to help you understand my mind and what I am working through right now.

I have also come to a conclusion that I am done "trying" to get pregnant. It is entirely too stressful for me and to emotionally difficult. So I am just going to live my life and let life happen. I mean, let's be honest, I am 27 years old....I am still very young, what is the point of rushing?

So with all this said, these are the things that have been going on in my world as of late, busy at work, busy at home and just plain feeling busy. I have found a great relaxer in all of this.......A bubble bath, a beer and a book.............aaaaaah! You should try it, it's heavenly! :)
