Happy Happy Joy Joy!



These last few days I have had three reasons to do a happy dance.


First, I booked a flight for Addyson and me to SLC to visit my family! We are going in less than three weeks and are staying for almost a week.


Next, I received some fantastic good mail yesterday from my friend Kelly in Arizona. She's going to start a blog soon. (Right, Kel?) She sent me this adorable pink dress for Addy and a Target gift card. It was so nice and thoughtful..and even better because it was unexpected! Thanks, Kel! (I'll post a picture later.)


And the grand finale...


Remember this post? Well, I tried on some of my pre-pregnancy jeans today and THEY DID UP! Woo hoo! I am thrilled to report that I have been doing great in this area. I have been working out faithfully and not eating sugar, and just eating less in general. It seems that eating sugar only fuels your appetite to eat more...and not eating it helps you eat less and make better food choices. I still have a ways to go but this progress has remotivated me! I have been starting to run again...today I went out jogging/walking and I did 4.2 miles (I clocked it in the car). I would say that I ran 3/4 of the time. I am just loving being active again! It feels great.


And on that note...I'm off to a fondue party. Hey, I'm only human!

I am so happy for you and your jeans! And I'm glad you liked the dress.

In my mind you'll always be that five lb. fourteen oz. girl you were the day you were born! :)
