Well...i did it! Iwent ahead and signed up for the Biggest Looser at work! you talk about leaving my comfort zone! I debated about this and spoke with my family and we all agreed it might helpo me get over my plateau (I am stuck at 40 pounds!!!). I am a very personal person (hahaha so why do I blog!!!) and the thought of co-workers seeing my weight killed me! My husband and i were laughing becasue i would feel better if i went on national tv and gave my weight instead of at work! anyway...signed up and i now have butterflies...did i do the right thing??????

What's your favorite food item that is in your refrigerator right now? COKE!!! I guess it's not a food BUT try telling my tummy that! It is the first thing I reach for when I open the refrigerator (shame on me...). Honestly, I am thinking and that is the only thing that comes to mind. COKE!!!

I think that is how I look at myself...a go to person!! :)

Graduation!!

graduation

This was a special graduation for us. Reggie was asked to be the speaker and that was an honor for him and us. He did an incredible job and I think everyone will always remember his story about the baby birds coming down the cliff. Great job!!! It was also special because we have watched a few of these graduates grow up and it has been an incredible journey. I remember one of the girls was in our Girl Scout Troop and she was a Brownie and a Junior! And now she is a graduate!! Wow…how time flies. I am so excited to see how these young people turn out. I pray they will have much happiness and success in life!
Graduations are always wonderful. I always get a kick out of how they are so innocent and excited about life! The idea of life is so new to them and the world being and oyster and them the pearl if a belief! Yes…graduations are wonderful!

Rapids 1st home game

today we went to the first soccer game of the season. it was also the first game in the new soccer park in Denver. Reggie has been excited about this for months! Well...i was real excited until we found out it was going to be freezing and snowing! It was horrible!!! The weather was cold and freezing and yes it actually started snowing during the game. I spent most of the game huddled under "Gwyneee" and Reggie (it did not help!!). My legs were frozen and numb!!! The game was exciting but it could not keep me warm so it lost interest after the first half! We tried to drink cocoa and that did not help!!! Boy...i sure hope this is not what it is like for the next game (being married to a soccer fan almost always guarantee's there will be another game. smile

Happy Cinco De Mayo! Today we celebrated by going to our favorite Mexican restaurant...Senor Rics! Wow! We can honestly say the girls have grown up there! We love the food (gringo Mexican but still good...hehehe). It was festive and fun (i wish we would have gone a little later so we could see the Mariachi's play.
Reggie decided he was going to get some "creative shots" with the camera!
