Hello there!

Remember me? I'm Amy, and I forget to blog for months at a time! Ok, I don't really forget, I just put it off until I'm overwhelmed by how much I have to write about and then I avoid it like the plague!

Here are just a few updates about what's been going on in Amyville:

• Shawn and I spent Christmas with his family in Kentucky. His brother and his new wife didn't join us, but we had a good time with them all the same. We did some more cleaning out, and even found some old VHS home movies to watch which was fun! 
• Shawn and I went to visit my friends and family in Utah a few weeks ago. I hadn't been since my brother T.J. left on his mission. He's back now so....my trip was WAY past due! It was a short trip filled mostly with catching up with folks I needed to see and people I wanted to be able to meet Shawn. 
• My weight-loss is still going strong and steady. I'm now down 88lbs, which feels AWESOME! I am wearing sizes I haven't worn in ages, feeling happy in my skin, and feeling stronger and more capable of greatness. 
• I have been enjoying my book club and have read quite a lot of really good books lately. Some of my favorites have been:
• "Room" by Emma Donoghue
• "Left Neglected" by Lisa Genova
• "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" by Lisa See
• I'm currently reading "The Night Circus" by Erin Morgenstern, "The Double Bind" by Chris Bohjalian and "A Clash of Kings" by George R.R. Martin. Reading brings me to such a happy place!

That's about all for now, I will try to be better! I still poke around and keep up with friends on their blogs, even though I rarely comment. I love finding out how all of you are :)
