clemen, is that you?!

he recovered being beaten and drowned at the car wash and was waiting for me at home with stickers in hand... take a look...

yes it's true!!! clemen is alive :)

ok, were to start?

i guess i'll start with posts updating my weigh loss. it's very exciting because now i'm up to 15.9 pounds! (i just say i've lost 16 pounds!) here are some pics of my progress so far... were i started to were i am now :)

so, how do i look!!!

until next week, i can't wait to hit 20 pounds!!! :)

where has the week gone?!

yes, i know that it's been almost another week and i have yet to post. here's the scoop... i have been working on setting up my new laptop and i also got a new toy, so it's stalled me in posting. this is due to having my download and install on my new laptop and i have so many pictures i want to put up from my old laptop. oh yes, and my new toy... a new camera! so it makes it even harder since i can only post new pics if i'm using my new computer. get it?! so, today is the first day i haven't worked out this week... it's good to have a day off to rest :) so i've got some time on my hands. well, back to my old computer to upload some pics... let's see if i can post more tonight ;)

ok ok, i'll update!

i'm sorry but life has just been crazy busy and i haven't had a few good minutes to spend typing up a new post! i guess it's a good thing too because it's kept me off the computer to some time now ;)

i'll be posting new pics about my weight progress (hint for you, negative), as well as what i've been up to recently. check back this weekend.... i'm gonna have lots of free time to post. have a great long weekend and memorial day.

it's my birthday!!!

well, i'm officially 27 today! i received numerous phone calls from friends and family and got some nice presents as well. i wasn't really expecting anything for my birthday because my parents are in AZ still and jeff is preaching tonight at his church. i was gonna be all alone :(

i was driving to work this morning and got a phone call from my mom. she woke up at 5 am AZ time, 8 am our time just to sing happy birthday to me!!! she loves me :) i also received calls from both my brothers, alisha, jess, kristi, angela, and my dad. i got texts from my friend christina, alisha, and jeff. facebook is amazing and i got some messages there as well. i feel so loved! thanks judy for the birthday wishes, i'm glad i got to know you as well ;)

so when i arrived at work this morning, there was a happy birthday balloon from one of my children. another parent bought me beautiful flowers. we had cupcakes and a co-worker made a special fat free (really super yummy) cake as well. another co-worker got me bath soap and lotion which smells really nice. and on top of all that... my co teacher hadar and kusum got me a gift certificate for a pedicure! yaaay!!!

i came home to dinner at my uncles and his wife, carolyn. we had chicken on the grill, broccoli, and potatoes. delicious! even had a cake and ice cream. funny story, she didn't have a 2 or 7 for the cake so she used all the other numbers to add up to make 27!!! i wish i had a picture, it was pretty funny.

it was a great day! i wish i had pictures to share... especially the one of me in my birthday crown my children made for me :)

thanks for the birthday blessings! i love you all!

sunny saturday!

here are some pics from a relaxing saturday afternoon with my cousin katie...

this is the pond down the street from my house...

the rocks and the stream

this is katie... i made her do a photoshoot! :)

even a picture of me!

isn't this cool.. it was still super bright, but the shot came out like this.

we had a super time :)

final moments caught on camera...

to go with a previous post, i have decided to put some of clemens final moments on my blog...

lots of soapy bubbles...

i'm thinking this might have hurt clemen just a little :'(

the rinse ... almost as much as my tears :'(

the final moment... the dyer.

just a little humor for your evening. i'll post tomorrow about my weigh in!
