The Big Reveal

Our adoption profile and facebook page just went live.


.... and I'm a nervous wreck. I mean, I've prayed about it for MONTHS and I know it's the right thing to do. But it's still SUPER SCARY to put yourself out there like that. At least with this blog, there's a sort of anonymity - now all our business is out there for the world to see. Which I guess is the point - how do people know if we don't tell them, right? Anyway, this has been pretty difficult so prayers are appreciated. Thanks! Love you all!

I made a major goof with my blog and now it's all wonky. Trying to get things sorted out...

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss

Unless someone like you

cares a whole awful lot,

nothing is going to get better.

It's not.

Weight Loss Wednesday - Week ONE is DONE and Lent

The first week of Summer Slim-down is behind me! I was really worried about weighing-in because, although I started out great, the little prince's birthday festivities were this weekend. That means cupcakes on Friday, cake on Saturday, and even more cake on Sunday for my neice's birthday. After all that birthday cake, I just knew I didn't lose any weight.

Turns out I lost 1.3 lbs!!! Now I realize that I'll have to do better than that to reach my goal of 25 lbs in 12 weeks, but I was happy to have lost anything!

In other news, I'm participating in Lent again this year. Like last year, I've given up Coke. Unlike last year, I've also given up Coke Zero and Diet Coke as well. I'm really hoping to use this time of sacrifice (as silly as it is to consider giving up Coke a "sacrifice") to grow spiritually.

P.S. Pics from the little prince's birthday coming soon!

Hope everyone is having a great week!
