It's Thursday, again!

Since it is Thursday again, that means I went to Weight Watchers today and I lost 2.2 lbs! I'm excited--2 weeks and I have lost 6.2 lbs! Attitude is everything! No worries, this was a water, no fat gelato!





I am thankful for my family this week. Not just my birth family, but my in-law's family as well. Mike's parents and my parents don't live near us, so it is a blessing when we get to spend time with everyone. Mike's parents come down to visit about every 4 to 6 weeks. My parents come visit about every 3 or 4 months. I'm so thankful for Skype that we can talk on the computer and see each other. I can't imagine not having that now. Mike and I grew up in Christian homes hundreds of miles apart. I'm so thankful that our parents followed God's leading when having a family. I hope to one day carry on their legacy. I love you, all!

(Proverbs 22:6 NIV) Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.

I'm also thankful that Mike has reconnected with a friend from the past, Cade. They got to spend all day Tuesday with each other. Cade now lives in NC and was in FL for a fishing trip and took time out of the boat to be with Mike for the day. Cade--I'm on the hunt for some Rays mementos from your trip! ha ha ha

Happy Birthday Dad!

Happy Birthday Dad! I hope you have a wonderful day. I have been thinking about you ALL day. I wish I could be with you to celebrate. I look forward to chatting on SKYPE later! Love you!

Fun with Friends Weekend

Saturday morning we had plans to meet the Busby's for breakfast. We either have to plan months in advance or last minute planning for our schedules to work. We had been planning this for one week and it worked out more than we had planned. Neither of us had plans for the rest of the day, so we were able to help Pastor Busby (PB) clean out his garage. Mike was a big help, except for the fact that we came home with things from the garage. (Thanks PB!) While the men worked in the garage, the ladies enjoyed time on the Wii. Katelyn and I raced each other and raced on the same team on Mario Cart. She also taught me some "tricks" and how to do some extra things on the Wii. (Thanks Katelyn!) Tammi is a HUGE reader and she loaned me some books that she recently enjoyed. I told her to keep track that I have her books, because I don't know when I finish reading them. (I can't read through books as fast as she can.) I can't wait to start reading! (Thanks Tammi!)



After all the working, we were hungry again. So we decided to head to Downtown St. Pete for an early dinner. We ate at a little place called Moon Under Water. It had a variety of food from burgers to salads to indian to english dishes. The weather was perfect to eat outside.

We then strolled along the water enjoying all the activities. After our walk, we enjoyed a gelato at at a little Cafe. I got a No Fat made with water, not milk, half Strawberries and half Wild Berries gelato. It was very refreshing! What a beautiful spring day to give thanks for God's creation, friends and our area where we live!



Thanks Busby's for a fun day!
