Down 2 More....Valentines Day

                                                                          Well, Hope you all had a good valentines day. 

                                                                                                       This is what I made Mike:





Eat your heart out Julie :)

Well, I've already posted the Tattoo news. I guess the only other new stuff is that I am down 2 more pounds. I now weigh what I did on my wedding day in 2002 :) Feels good. But it will feel better when I hit the 150's, I haven't been there in MANY MANY years.

Dalton is on break from school this week. I was hoping to let the kids stay with my parents for a couple days so Mike and I could have some down time, but they are going to start cleaning out grandma's house and meeting with lawyers and all that fun stuff this week. Oh well. God that would have been nice though. Grace has been making me insane lately....I think I feel the gray hairs starting to sprout!

Anyway, nothing much new other than what I have already said.

Our Tattoos.....

Here is Mikes Tattoo:





And here is mine:

Got Bored...

Ok, I hardly ever post update photos anymore. Here is one of me last week. I am hoping that one day, my thighs magically become half thier size!

A little news....

So for valentines day this year Mike and I are going to get tattoos. I got one when I was 18 and have wanted a second one since that day. Mike doesn't have any yet so this will be his first.

I will definatly post pictures after we get them. This is the guys portfolio who will be doing them:

Dylan Tate-White Tiger Tattoo-Rochester, Ny

He seemed pretty nice, and was working on someone while we were there. Mike gets his done on Tues. and I will go in on Wednesday. I can't wait!

Lets see, well last week I GAINED 3 pound. Ugh. I was so pissed, but I know it can be fixed. I have went to the Gym 3 days this week. Taking a break today, and will go tomorrow to get one more workout in before I weigh in on Saturday.

The family is doing well since Grandma left. My parents seem ok. The services were very nice. She looked good. I mean, I know that is something everyone says as funerals..."oh, she looks so peaceful", "She looks so nice", "they did a good job".....but all those things were really true. The last time I visited my grandma in the nursing home, her hair was a mess...she had a bib on with food on herself, her teeth weren't in (that absolutly broke my heart because that was something my grandma NEVER did when she was well)so seeing her laying there in the casket with nice hair and lipstick...made me kind of happy. She is gone now....I miss her, and think of her just about everyday.

So we are moving on.....I will post again soon.

I love this photo.

With Grandma's passing still in the front of my mind I thought I would post this photo. I have always LOVED this picture. It has my granddad and his 3 favorite things....

His Lincoln

His Woman

His Gun

It makes me smile to look at this photo. It was taken probably in 1981 or 1982, he died in 1983. This was up at the farm we lived on in North Norwich.

They must be so happy to be back together again.
