New Year. New beginnings. New opportunities

Never settle for anything less than you deserve~

“The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that's what you've given me. That's what I'd hoped to give you forever”
― Nicholas Sparks

Finally it is almost here! The Bridal Shower is only a few days away and I am so excited! It has been a crazy ride this journey of planning a wedding for my Mother. I wish her nothing but the very best but seriously this whole wedding thing has been such a pain! Oh well~ it is almost over and time for her to say those vowes.YAY!
It was so much fun making these invitaions for the shower.I have enjoyed planning it although at times I have found myself wanting to pull my hair out and anyones around me as well.I really hope she has the best day ever!

Hey everyone...so as of yesterday I have lost a total of 6lbs...I couldn't have done it without giving up my addiction to soda.I have had so much fun getting out and running just about every morning with my dog and youngest Gilliana.At first I was dreading getting up to go jog but now I look forward to it! Unfortunately all of my kids have been home bound with a bad cold for the past week and a half but I have still found time to get my workouts in.While at the Dr.'s office yesterday I weighed myself just to see how much I have lost and to my surprise it was 6lbs.I feel so refreshed in the mornings when I wake up and relaxed when I go to bed.I have found that exercising at night helps me relax and fall asleep easier.In the morning I have more energy to start my day.I have been drinking water throughout my days instead of 4-5 glasses of Pepsi A DAY!That has been a HUGE help in my weight loss.As well as eating healthier as I did before and eating more fruits.
Not only do I feel better and have tons of energy I know I am that much closer to my goal.If I continue to progress and stick to my workout and eating habits I know it wont be long until I can fit into one of these.....

Ok so maybe I wont look as great as she does but I can come close...right!

Simply luv it!

Monterey...

Our visit to Monterey over the weekend.It was so beautiful.
It is really our favorite place to visit.It was so nice to walk along the shore and listen to the waves as they crashed onto the rocks.Very peaceful~
It was a bit clommy at first but once the sun came out it was really a beautiful day.
