Little Updating...

Hey All!

I figured I'd post an update before we left. We are super excited. We leave on Wednesday for Hawaii. Whoo Hoo!!! I'm can't even tell you how excited I am. We all are actually. I still have a ton to get done and ready for. But I'll get there! William's parents are coming in tomorrow to watch the boys for us. Anyways, we will be back June 11th. I will try and post some pictures as soon as possible. I will try to post some with Williams phone if I can figure it out. I'm not that savvy though. But I will try!

The kids are all doing well. This is their last week of school. The girls actually only go today and tomorrow. They get to miss the last two days because of our trip. But they are excited about Summer. Hailey is jam packed with camps. She will be gone the entire month of June. Yea I know it's insane. We get back from Hawaii on Thursday the 11th and she leaves for youth camp on the 15th then comes back on the 20th and leaves for camp in Glorieta, New Mexico on the 21st for two weeks and we will pick her up on July 3rd. She's gonna be on tired girl. It's just the way it all fell. And then she has one more mission week a little later in the summer. Yipes! I feel like she won't be here all summer. Oh well, the joy of teens, huh? The others aren't near that busy just VBS and playing. Thank goodness....

One more thing I wanted to share and then I'll leave ya alone... I had some exciting news that I wanted to share. Ya know I've been going to the gym and exercising and such for awhile now. I've shared several stories about that fun adventure. Well, back in January I started trying to work on my weight and such... Well I haven't really talked about how that's going but I wanted to share that. I usually don't like to talk about this kind of stuff but I'm proud of myself and I've been working really hard at it and I know several of you have asked. As of this weekend I have lost 50 pounds and this is horribly embarrassing BUT I was wearing size 30/32 and now am wearing 22/24! :) So I'm super excited at the progress I've made in just five months. I still have a long way to go but I know I WILL get there! I'm doing things I never dreamed I would or could do. I can run on the tread mill. Can you imagine? Holy Moly! Not for very long but it feels good to know I can do these things. I'm not having to sleep with my breathing machine anymore. It's just been a huge blessing! I just feel good about myself! I just really can't explain it. Anyways, I just wanted to share my news. Thanks so much to those of you who have been supporting me and encouraging me along the way. I can never tell you how very much that has helped! I appreciate it so very much! I love ya! Okay I'm off to Hawaii in a much thinner me! he he he.... Well, a little thinner! :)
