Was the diet & excersise all worth it?

I'd say so!!! (if I do say so myself!)


And it only took a second to get the zipper up..... unlike someone else who took 20 minutes. I swear we should have brought some pliers to get her zipper up! But I'm not mentioning any names! Apparently it was the zippers fault though, even though EVERYONE else's went up fine!



More pic.'s to come later. Ashley just stopped by, so I'm gonna visit.

Weekend plans

It all starts today. I'm going to leave in about 2 hours to go help decorate for the reception. Then tonight is the rehearsal, & dinner. Tomorrow the wedding. I am so totally excited that it is finally here. I didn't meet my overall goal for the weight loss, but I fit in the dress, and that is all that matters. 45lbs down, & IDK how many to go seeings as how on Sunday I'm PIGGING OUT!!
BTW- Last weekend was fun at Bremer's wedding to Alison. I was worried when Gordon told me that the tux's were ivory, but he looked DANG HOT in it. (The blue was a little feminine though!) Here is a pic. of him, Bremer, & my girl Ash at the bottom sampling her concoction.



IDK what happened with the right side of my hair.... prolly the stupid haircut I got a few months ago, still trying to grow out, but desperately wanting to get noticed! However, here is a pic. of me & my Hunny......



Maybe I just need one of those "bump it's", cuz, it's looking a little flat! Anyhoo- last Sunday we had dinner with Amber & Mike at their house (this weekend's b&g). They got a patio set for a bridal shower gift, so Gordon took it outside so we could eat there. Well, one thing let to another, and this is what happened.....



An umbrella fit for a giant!

Just being concided!

So, since I missed the March of dimes walk-a-thon last weekend. I decided to challenge myself to a walk. Dianna decided to take my kids on Tuesday because she was off of work. As I sat on the porch contemplating what I was going to do for a few hours with no kids (HIGHLY UNUSUAL!), I decided to walk. After spending 20 minutes looking for a water bottle, I was finally off! I started west on Gibbs, then went north on Lansing st. Walked all the way up to Walker rd. (haha walker!), then headed west to Dewitt rd. Once I was there, my phone decided to die on me, & therefore my clock was gone! So, I just headed south to Townsend rd. then north on Lansing st, & back to home. My knee started hurting when I was about 10 blocks from home, but I think it was because of the way I lay in the tanner. But, if I didn't lay that way, my feet would stick out of the end, and never get tan. Anyhoo, after 3 pop cans (a.k.a. 30 cents), a dead raccoon, & a dead squirrel, many, many, beer tops, & 1 honk from a weirdo in a van, I made it home.
The next morning, I loaded up Jarrett & Destinee in the car. re-set the trip meter, and headed on the same route. Guess how far I walked............

6.6 MILES!!! In 2 hours! And I wasn't sore the next day! Sorry, just gotta pat myself on the back!

My baby's getting so big! & crazy Ashley!

So, Jarrett has had a pretty huge week in his life. He graduated from pre-school, and last Saturday, we took his training wheels off of his bike. At first I was holding onto the seat, and he kept saying "Don't let go mom". Then I let go, and held my hand behind him so he would think I was holding on. He kept saying... "Don't let go mom, don't let go". I told him "I'm not holding on Jarrett". He turned back to see that I wasn't holding on, then he was off! Even our wonderful neighbor's to the north were saying "Good job Jarrett". I think he was smiling for hours!



Mayla wanted her picture taken too....




Saturday night Ashley says to me..... "get on my shoulders & I'll pick you up" Yeah right I thought! But this crazy girl did it! Ok, Ashley's like 5'5", or 5'6" I'm not sure, and I'm sure she'll correct me. Here I am 5'11" weighing a lot more than she does, and she picked me up! She has god like strength! So, I'm trying to be B.A., and told her to get on my shoulders. HA!! I couldn't even get out of a squatting position! I am such a wimp. But the moment was funny, and the picture, HILARIOUS!! Here I am on her shoulders, touching the roof.

Ahhhh, good times! I love Ashley!!

Is it possible to have too much fun? I did on Saturday night!

Gosh, the Bachelorette party was SO MUCH FUN!!! Where do I begin?.....

We started the night at Roadhouse. A fabulous restaurant here in town. It's where we all met up. However, the waitresses don't know how to take a picture, so mine is all blurry. Then we headed to my house for jello shots & strawberry blender drinks... not too sure what they were, I didn't have any. It is where "Mike" joined the party (a giant inflatable penis). We got our card's for the card game, our beaded necklaces, shot glasses, and our bachelorette party check list. My card said to find 5 guys with the same name & I'd get 30 points. It was easy, because once they find out your with a bachelorette party, they all decided to have the same name. I got that one. Anyhoo- we walked downtown to Bruno's first. the bar seats were all empty, which was perfect because once we got there, it filled right up! Then we went to Swany's (which I thought we were going to Alibi next, so someone had to come get me from Alibi, while I was looking for my guys with the same name). We were only @ Swany's for a little bit, because it was DEAD in there. Then we headed to Alibi.... FINALLY!! I think we were on the dance floor ALL NIGHT! My thighs are still soar from dancing. We had an abundance of men swarming us (& "Mike") the whole night. Gordon & Nate showed up for a second, but after not getting any attention, they left, went home & went to sleep. We closed Alibi, and with "Mike" in tow, we headed back to my house. We somehow managed to pick up 3 guys whom were willing to dance for us topless (nobody wanted them totally nude thank god!). One of them is a friend of ours, with an AMAZING BODY!! All 3 of them had nice bodies, and we were pretty "lit up" anyways. We played "tippie cup" with them. Amber ended the night by getting both feet rubbed, and a neck massage by all 3 guys. Lucky girl! Well, not really because she actually ended the night in the E.R. because she couldn't stop puking. Turns out she had a stomach virus. I think I went to bed around 4am, but I'm really not too sure. There is a lot more that happened, but I just cant remember it all.

3 more weeks till the wedding, and I CANT WAIT!!! It is going to be so much fun too! I was thinking, since this year is my 10 year wedding anniversary, maybe I should have a bachelorette party, since I didn't have one 10 years ago. What do you think?

And one more thing.... I love Courtney! She is awesome!! I don't know why she doesn't hang out with us all the time! I should get her number. She fits in so well with our group! Maybe I have a crush on her. lol.


Me, Talia, "Mike", Amber, & Ashley. The group of the bridal party that's over 21.

IT FITS!!!!

And that's all I have to say about that!
