9 years already?

Yesterday was our 9th wedding aniversary. My how time flies. Looking back at pictures, we look so young and we were so in love! Life has brought us some ups and downs, and my hope is that it will only get better! So much has happened in 9 years. We have 4 amazingly smart and fun boys that keep us on our toes every day. I couldn't be more greatful for the joy that being married and having a family has brought me. As we being our 10th year together I am excited and anxious to know what the future holds. I don't ever want to be without my high school sweetheart and the love of my life!

(I couldn't get my camera to take a good picture of our wedding pics, so this is the best one I've got of us!)

Turning 29

Both Darrell and I are now 29 years old and not so sure where the time has gone. Last night we invited our siblings and parents to dinner to celebrate Darrell's birthday. Only a handful were able to come, but we had a great time. Another year older and we both still feel like we are 18. I don't necessarily mind getting older, just as long as we can still have fun and feel good about ourselves. Hope you had a good birthday, babe!

Goal Update #2

So, another month has passed and I am only down 3 pounds total for the year. I don't want to make excuses, but we have had quite a rough month. The boys have been sick on and off, passing whatever it was from one to the other for about 6 straight weeks. I believe we are all over everything. I have sanitized their room, bought new toothbrushes and washed all the sheets over and over again. It's a new month and I have new motivation. Darrell is home from work for a little while and he and I have decided to "diet" together. He wants to bulk up and I plan to slim down. Today is Day 3 and we are off to a good start. I am taking it one day at a time and I am confident that I will have some much needed results this month. April's starting weight is 172. Wish me luck! :)
