Birthdays and Weigh-In

Well hello again. I am a week late updating you, but hey better late than never! The last two weeks have been absolutely crazy. I have hosted a birthday party for my husband, learned how much I hate the government and its stupid regulations (HUD-1 forms in particular), started volunteering with Awanas, and traveled to Missouri while battling the urge to eat everything in site.

I married an older man, 5 years to be exact! Since I was taking a bar exam last year and planning a wedding, we were not able to celebrate his 30th birthday the way I wanted to. To make up for my lack of acknowledgment last year, we had to celebrate his 1st Anniversary of his 30th birthday this year. Plus it helps that we have an amazing backyard and I selfishly wanted to show that off! We are very blessed, Daron's best friends from all stages of his life were able to come and help make this day a special day. Without further ado.... here are the pictures that better describe the day than I could with words!

Daron's great friends Stu and Phil

Connie made a new friend... Some of the cutest kids

We had a GREAT time and are so happy to have the friends we have.

Weight Loss Update: The first week I lost 4.2lbs! I was so excited and shocked, however, that also means that I had a lot to lose :(. The next week I gained 0.2 lbs but I am considering this a victory because I went home for the long weekend and fought really hard to be good. Hopefully this week I can lose a pound or two. I appreciate all the encouraging comments. If you have good recipes I would LOVE to try them.

I am hosting a football party today on our new outdoor tv....... tune in next week to see pictures of our new back porch!

Thanks and gig em!
