Abby and Me

Abby.

We have known each other for about 5 years. 

We've both been through so much and I am so thankful for her. 

She is such an inspiration to me. 

Her weight loss journey is encouraging to anyone who feels they "can't" do it!

(February 2010)

Her personal life story is incredibly powerful through Christ at work in her.

She is a great friend, one of the best I've ever had!

We can talk and laugh for hours. 

We can challenge each other and cry on each others shoulder when needed. 

I love how we can each uplift each other and be truly honest in every situation.

Friends

At the end of May, we had a BBQ with our friends for Memorial Day! 

Abby and Justin were so sweet to host a dinner/swim night for the kids!
The Hammonds came to join us all.

Healthy Living pushing Healthy Weight

As many of you know, last year I began to make some changes to my lifestyle. 

When I began in October, I weighed 166, wore size 12, some 10's and was not happy with my self. I was not working out, I was trying to eat well, but wasn't too proactive about it.

Hannah's 3rd BIrthday

This year, we celebrated Hannah's birthday about 5 times. 

When we were in California in March, my parents had a little party for her. 

When we were in Ohio April, my aunt had a little party for her.

On her actual birthday, April 22nd, we sang happy birthday with a cookie. 

On May 11th, we had her birthday party at home, Hello Kitty Style!

Whew! By the time her party was over, I was glad to move along. I guess I was partied out!

We enjoyed our celebrations of our sweet and blessed Hannah Grace!

Houston Rodeo and Livestock Show

Sorry my posts are still behind, blogging isn't at high on my priority list as it had previously. Anyway, here is a post that I started back in March.
My friend Jenn and I, with her daughter Maddie and Hannah braved the Houston Rodeo and Livestock show together with our girls. We went on a Wednesday because kids are free. 

We let them go through the farm...planting crops and harvesting and of course using the harvest to feed the animals. They learned about the process of how we get our food from the farm animals to the store to us. It was neat for them to see. They loved the petting zoo. The deer kept trying to eat people's clothing and hand bags!

They had a blast seeing the baby chicks hatch and the big bunnies. Hannah loved the Disney show. 

It was a long day and we all headed home, with sonic drinks and sleeping kids on the way!

Thanks for taking us Jenn! I just love to watch our girls play together and be good friends.
