I'm going to Mexico


OK, so I am freaking out. Last night was Dave's company party and at the end they did a drawing for some awesome prizes. The grand prize was a 5 day 4 night trip to Mexico to an all inclusive resort(I think that is what you call it?). Dave and I never win anything, but Dave's ticket won. I seriously was freaking out. After the party was over a girl came up to me and said that my reaction was soooo awesome. So I think that means I made a fool out of myself. I am so excited. If any of you know Dave taking time off work and going on vacation is a hard thing for him to do. He is a workaholic. So afterward I thanked his boss and told him that this was the only way I was going to get to go on vacation with Dave. We have to wait until rates go back up til we can go because Dave is going to be so busy for the next little while. But heck if it means things are good at work I think I can be a little patient. I am hoping to meet this man in the picture above as well.

Biggest Loser

I absolutly love the show the Biggest Loser. Those that know me well know that I am constantly on a diet and love to work out. I had fallen off the wagon lately and then I heard about Jillian's book from the biggest loser so I thought I would give it a try and I love it. It is a 30 day challenge called making the cut, anyway so me and my sister started it the week of Thanksgiving and it has been great. I have lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks. Not bad. The workouts are pretty hard but a good challenge. Anybody that is looking for something new I highly recommend it. It is fun to watch the show while you are undertaking this challenge and see how hard she works out those people. It makes me greatful I don't have her in the room when I do her workouts because I think I would end up hitting her. Camie and I have been getting up at 6:30 every morning so we can workout with no kids. I know we were crazy to start right during the Holidays, but for once I would like to end Christmas not having 10 lbs as a extra present.

Crazy Week




Last week was so much fun. I am so thankful to everybody that has a camera right now because I still have not replaced the one that Jack ruined so I always have to borrow other peoples cameras right now. So thanks to my friend Meg for having hers last week. I am hoping that I get a camera for Christmas and that should help me keep up on my blog a little better. Anyway last week we had our monthly Bunco night and as always it was a blast. We have such a fun group of girls who play. The next night we went to the Jazz Game with Meg and Kaleb who we always have tons of fun with no matter what we do. Then on Saturday we had our Girls Night out Christmas Party which is a highlight of the Holiday season for me. We have so many great people that surround us which make our lives so much fun. I had so much fun that on Sunday I ended up with a cold. For some reason if I don't get enough sleep I almost always get sick. But it was worth it.
