Patience...

As I sit here I have lost 5 lbs! I have to continue to remind myself to be patient and with time I will win this battle. I think society puts it in our heads that we don't need patience and everything will happen overnight! Just look at the stars and after they've had a kid.... Not REAL people!

I'm finding more and more things that I love to do besides FOOD! I love walking by the lake- because of the cool breeze, the little ducklings and Steve and I talks! Just getting out of the house and having family time is so worth it these days!

Now on to Scrapbooking-I have went through the 1200 pictures that my grandma took on Vaca and have narrowed it down to 150! I cant wait to start scrapbooking! I have yet to meet a friend up here who enjoys it as much as I do:( While we were up in Pigeon Forge they have a scrapbook outlet and we bought everything and then some of what I'll need!!

As for Gracie she is becoming more and more Miss Independent! She wants to do things on her own without Mommy's help!! Even though she still wants to be rocked ( oh, I wish this never ends)! She loves to tell me "No, Mama" all the time and is with me where ever I go....UNTIL her Daddy arrives home from work and its like the world has stopped and its just him and her! I absolutely love it! She adores I mean adores Stephen! His beard is her lovey and she needs it to fall asleep! A true Daddy's Girl!!

Until Next Time

Missing our Bella

Today is the day we finally get to pick up our Dog Daughter "Bella". We have missed her so much. Gracie, especially has missed her! Everytime Gracie eats she usually will throw some food on the floor for Bella and now that she is not here we have to clean it up!!! Its the little things that makes me happy these days-haha!

But, really we miss her kisses and sweet spirit around here. Gracie misses her buddy!

Here is a picture we took back when Gracie was a newborn! Thought it was cute!!

Have a Great Day:)

P.S. I have lost 2 1/2 pounds and Stephen 5.. GO US!

Getting Healthy!

We just got back last Saturday from our Pigeon Forge Mountain Vacation! My grandparents (Gracie's Papa & GiGi) came along too! We had a lot of fun but wow are we tired! We saw so many beautiful mountains! I don't know how anyone could deny God after seeing all that he has made! From the smallest butterfly to the biggest mountain everything was made by HIM!
We saw so many great shows. Gracie LOVES I mean LOVES music! We couldnt get over how she danced and danced to all the songs! People around us said that she was their show! She also has gotten into a routine of saying our prayers! We loved how at every resturant she shout "AMEN" people would look and see this tiny girl with this LOUD voice! She is truly a blessing! I cant explain how much love I have for her.. Although at times she can stubborn or sassy ( I wonder who she gets it from? Hmmm) But what can I say she's my mini me and I love it!

I titled this blog "Getting Healthy" because I feel like its time to start over and lose weight and get healthy! I have been slacking as we all do and I'm determined more than ever to not "diet" but actually become more healthier! I started this healthy living on Monday! I have been walking 1 1/2 miles everyday! Thats not a lot but I'm starting out slow. I have been drinking water non stop and eating healthier smaller portions! I will win this battle:)

1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, we must get rid of every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and run with endurance the race set out for us, 2 keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. For the joy set out for him he endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Think of him who endured such opposition against himself by sinners, so that you may not grow weary in your souls and give up (Hebrews 12:1-3).2

 Thanks for stopping by!

Until next Time.........
