Blueberry Picking!

I took the kids blueberry picking with our mom's group. Although it seemed to take forever to gather a full pound of blueberries, we had a blast! The boys loved it! We were given a large Hunt's ketchup can and told to fill it full. The price would be $6 for all of them. WOW! What a deal! If anyone wants to go blueberry picking and you live in the piedmont triad of NC, this is defintely the place to go! Season is over for this year, but we look forward to going again next year. Blueberry pie, blueberry buckle, blueberry muffins, blueberry pancakes, blueberry everything!!!

Weigh In Results 8/23/08

I weighed in this morning and am proud to announce that I was down more! I have now lost a total of 12.2 pounds! I will weight in again on Monday and will post results of my visit.

This thing that I call weight loss..

I have been going to Beverly Hills Weight Loss and Wellness for about a month now. I am down 11 pounds and already feeling much better. I don't feel so swollen and I have more energy. It feels nice to eat healthier. Don't get me wrong, there are times that I wish I were eating the pizza, pasta, cake, chips and oh...I better stop before I cringe!! You get the idea. However, at the end of the day (such as now) I feel so good going to bed knowing that I have followed my diet to a T. In my mind, I needed to lose 182 pounds to get to my "goal" weight of 100 pounds. However, I am beginning to think it won't be that much. Maybe I need to make a goal to lose 162 pounds so that I weight 120 pounds. Granted, that 120 pounds will be soaking wet! I want to have this done by November of 2009 so that we can go on the cruise of a lifetime. Donald has promised to take me and the boys on a Disney cruise (the one with the land and sea package together) once I lose the weight I want to. What an incentive! With 11 pounds down, I need to lose 151 more! I can do this! Before & After pictures are going to be impressive.

Thanks to many great friends and a caring husband, I have been talked out of the anorexic look. Afterall, who wants to be threatened that they are going to be admitted to a facility if they get to skinny? I am compromising and this is what I want to look like:

Our New Website

Many of you know that I have been going to school since April and am currently enrolled in the CIW certification program. I have really enjoyed the class and have learned alot. I am considering going back in January for the web design degree program. To put my new skills to the test, we created a website for couples in North Carolina that are getting married. Feel free to check out the website and refer it to anyone that you know that is getting married or honeymooning to North Carolina. The link is: http://www.nc-wedding-guide.com/

Where Have My Babies Gone?

It seems like just yesterday we were waking at all hours of the night, cooing, playing peek-a-boo and enticing our little ones to walk just a step further. As we approach October and November, I find myself realizing that Brendan and Kaleb are growing up...quickly! While they still depend on us for so many things, they are not babies anymore. Here are some pictures from our most recent portrait session.

Blogging Begins

I have never really been much of a blogger, but since we have family and friends across the country, we will give blogging an attempt. Check back often for new blogs, updates, pictures and stories!
