World Series Game #1

I was able to go to the first game of the World Series and was it ever AWESOME!! Even though they lost 7-1 it was well worth the money I spent. We had good seats by the third base line and we were surrounded by huge fans and one grumpy old guy who yelled at Malinda for standing up. The nerve of some people!!
We got on the big screen because we were holding up signs and that was kool. After the game we walked around and found channel 7 news and Eric Zimmerman(He's even cuter in person)we stood behind him and got on live TV! After we left him we ran into Karen Drew and talked to her for a minute and got pictures with her. It was so much fun! They went on to win game 2 but I was glad we went to game 1 because there was no rain and it wasn't as cold. The Tigers are going to win the World Series I just know it.

GO TIGERS!!!!!!!

Heart of your home

I have just finished a book by Robin McGraw (Dr. Phil's wife) and I was very moved and inspired by her words of wisdom. One chapter in particular really touched me. The book is called "Inside my Heart" and the chapter was the last one of the book and its called "The heart of my Home". In it she talks about making her house a home and making sure everything is running smooth and is a warm place to be. A home should be a place of happiness and joy and should be a place of refuge from the outside world where you can leave the days troubles behind and focus on your family. I want my home to be my heart and reflect love and value and that my children can grow up and remember the times that we have had here and that they know that there is a lot of love here and that they can feel safe and warm and loved.
If you get a chance, pick up a copy of her book, it is really good and has a lot to offer for women.

Weight Watcher

Well, this is it. I finally feel good about myself to post pictures of my weight loss journey. I don't feel like I'm bragging but I feel so much better about myself that I like to show others that weight loss is something everyone can do. I have struggled with weight since I was 16 years old and it wasn't until this summer that I decided to really do something about it. I have tried WW so many times and always came up with an excuse to quit. Well, I've come this far that quitting is no longer an option. Since April 10, 2006 I have lost 40 pounds. I have NEVER lost that much on a diet in my life. The most weight I ever lost at one time was 43 pounds after I had the twins. I'm half way to my goal and I can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel. It has not been an easy road and I know it will have more ups and downs along the way but I'm going for it and I will succeed.

My Nephews

Today my family and I went to celebrate my middle nephews 16th birthday. I can't believe he is 16. I am getting old! My nephews are very special to me and I love to spend time with them. They are all good looking young men and I am so proud of them. In this picture its Rian(the birthday boy),me, Brandon(the baby),Kelsey(my sis)and Brett(head honcho).

Sometimes my life is in overdrive. I find more and more things to do in a short day. My kids are all active in something, my husband works all day long (which is a good thing:)and I am busy throughout the day. I can do whatever I need to do and not have to worry about the kids bickering about where they sit in the car. I get tired of cleaning the house every day so I try and do other things.
I got rid of some things for our flea market at the church this weekend. It's always a good feeling when you lose weight and can get rid of clothes you under grew! I no longer have a cushion to fall on to so I have to keep up with weight watchers and continue with my weight loss journey. Besides, who doesn't like to go shopping for new clothes!!!
It is also deer season and I am considered a deer hunter widow! Marvin came home last night after a 2 day hunt. He came home empty handed which was a bummer to Matthew more than me. He likes deer meat and I do to as long as I don't think about it. He got a deer last season and we got a lot of meat off it. (sorry if you like Bambi, but you gotta eat)He will go out again so hopefully we will get one.
Matthew got an expander in his mouth today. He has more teeth than mouth so this will open up his pallet to make room for the teeth coming in. He will wear it for a few months and then he will get braces on his front teeth. Braces sure have come along way since I had them! I didn't get to pick colors out they were all metal and no color!
Well. I need to go get busy before they day is gone:)
