O.M.G

Because I am still trying to figure this thing out, my post is going to be backwards. I uploaded all my pics in order but forgot that the last pic is actually the first...unless I am doing something wrong. So, I finally got home from work. Honestly, the roads were not bad except the 2 f of snow all along the roads. The roads are so nasty and dirty. But, the snow is absolutely beautiful. I do not remember the last time it snowed like this. It always seems that when IT DOES snow that Riley is never with me. So, once again I am home without the kids so I thought I would take Rodie outside to play. Not only did he hate the snow, but he hated me taking pics and I am the worst photographer in the world anyways!

So, because of our huge tree in the front yard it looks as if it barely snowed but on the side of the yards..well you can see how much snow we got!

The pic above is of neighbors yard and the pic below is of our front yard!

Below are pics from work..downtown Ft. Worth. It was sooo pretty.

This was the last pic I took. The pics below were earlier in the morning. By noon, it was pouring snow...seriously it was making car sick watching it fall. It looked like a fountain of snow.

Even though it was pretty....I want it to go away. The weather is supposed to get worst tomorrow and I have a ton of stuff to do!!!! But, hey we do not get actual snow in Texas very often so I should not complain!

Brief History in Pictures!

It all started out with these 2 spoiled brats! This is the earliest picture that I had on my computer at work. Justin and I started dating when Riley was 2 and Victoria was 3. The first double date we went on was to the movies and I cannot think to save my life what movie it was. But, I do remember having fun and having our pictures made in the photo booth that draws your picture. I am sure that we also had Vic's Dolly and Riley's nawnee. Those days we went nowhere without those two things. Wow, have things changed. I remember thinking how hard it was to be a parent to a 2 year old.....Man, was I wrong!!!

Then, we met. I think not only to us but everyone else our relationship was a shocker. Who knew that we would literally fall in love at first sight. Well, we already knew of each other but were not exactly friends or acquaintances. This time was different. We needed each other for all the crazy and wrong reasons so after a year or so we decided to get married.

On August 7th 2004, I finally got rid of my last name and very happily got a new one. How do you sum up the very happiest day of your life? For me, it was very stressful, joyful and way to much to drink!!!!! AND I have to add alot of great friends and family....and many many MEMORIES!!!!! Our wedding night was spent in the hotel at the airport fully clothed. We arrived in the hotel room at around 3am and literally fell in bed. We got up at 6am to fly to Las Vegas.

I love this picture of us. It has always been one of my favs. I sure wish that I could wear that skirt now!!! Justin and I had the greatest time in LV. We had nothing planned except to have FUN!! We ended up getting very lucky and got to see Faith Hill, Pat Green and Cross Canadian Ragweed in concert. It was the greatest week ever. Two things that Justin and I do best is to argue and have fun together!!!!!

I deleted half the pictures as I was writing this....sorry still new to this blogging thing!!!!!

I cant believe that these 2 sweet little ones have grown into these 2 spoiled 8 and 10 year old BRATS!!! I love them so much and cannot my life without them. Although, in a few years I will have 2 teenagers and I am not sure how we will deal with it. But, I am sure that we can handle it God Willing!!!!

What started out as 2 people just wanting to have fun, has turned into a wonderful family of 4....oh okay 5.....but I deleted the pic of Rodie (the greatest Yorkie in the world)!!!

I will have to blog about him later.

WW Meeting #3

So, I lost 1 pound this week..woo hoo...I guess!!! Actually I am okay with that because once again I drank enough for a small country this weekend and had 3 dr peppers...dang Superbowl.

I will just keep on doing what I am doing, walking at lunch and going to the gym when I can this week. My goal is again to loose 2 pounds so I think I will take a break this weekend on the Ultra consumption.

This week's lesson was to put yourself on your priority list. So many of us have a list of priorities and we all forget about taking care of ourselves. This is sadly true in my household. I am so worried about the husband and kids I don't really think about me a lot and what I NEED...I am always thinking about what I want but never what I really need to be healthy. So this week I will try and think about ME and MY HEALTH. With everything that is going on with Riley right now this will be hard...but I will try!!!

Oh and I personally thought Dear John sucked. Excuse my language....suck is the new bad word in our house lately......I was very disappointed. I only cried once and I think they left some of the important things in the book....Oh well I am now 0-2 for my movie choices...so now Justin will get to pick the next 2....GREAT!!!!!

Thank Goodness for Fridays!

Well I talked Justin in to going to the movies tonight to see Dear John. I loved the book so I am hoping that the movie is good also. I am need of a good tear jerker after this crazy emotional week that I have had. I have said this so many times, but wow my momma never told me that being a parent was going to be this hard!!! I will letcha know how the movie went. The book is good and very short. I read it in 1 day. If you loved the Notebook you will love it also!!!

Have a Great Weekend!!!!

WW Meeting #2

Well, it was not a good Monday meeting...honestly it was not a good weekend. Well it was a wonderful weekend with the fam but not a good weekend eating. I gained .4 pounds, which I understand is not even a half of a pound but still it really stinks. Honestly, I am kind of amazed that I only gained that after tacos,Velveeta, pizza, and going to the movies and eating popcorn, not to mention the many beverages that I consumed...Oh well I have next Monday.

I did get something out of the meeting though. We talked about being hungry...and let me tell you I am hungry AAALLL the time. I hate it. But, we learned to stop and think about why you are hungry. Are you REALLY hungry..stomach growling hungry or are you bored, or stressed. If you stop and realize that you should not hungry and it is just boredom or stress than find something to do, or chew some gum, or drink some water with at little bit of flavor, get some fresh air or take a 5 minute walk. So, that is what I am going to work on this week. We also learned to make a list of 10 things to do when you THINK you are hungry. Easier said than done lady, when I am hungry the last thing I want to do is read a book, or clean out a closet.....RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!

But, I did visit the gym last night.....YES I DID!!!!! and I walked 2.5 miles which is not great but at least I made it to the gym. Which I have to add really SUCKS....there was no where to park and I had to wait 15 minutes just for a treadmill....I think I am going to visit another location on Wednesday.
