Enough is Enough!!

A little less than two years ago I had this body! Unfortunately due to laziness and poor time management skills I have let it go to pot! (What does that even really mean anyways go to pot?) Yes, a few pity parties have been had by myself since I have moved back home and attend school with people 10 to 12 years younger than me, but I am not going to let these excuse my actions any longer! I want my body back, I want my love of life back! My long lasting and don't get me wrong deliscious relationship with food has got to stop! I am from here on out going to use my blog as a form of accountability. I got Power 90 a long time ago (one of the many late night informercial impulse buys!) I saw great results especially when I had fun people to do it with like my UT friend Kilee and my old roommie Alene! Well I am going to put those 90 days to the test! I am making it official by posting on here that starting tomorrow I start Power 90. I am going to see it through to the 90th day! Does this mean I will be blogging everyday? Yes, that is what it means. I also plan to post what I ate, how I felt, and all that other stuff you are supposed to do. Will this be interesting to anyone else?....Nope can't say that it will be, but like I said it's about accountability. By posting what I ate I'm pretty sure I'll change my usual habit of oh 2000 + calories a day down to 1400 I hope! I will also be posting before pictures of me so that I can see if this whole process really does work like they say on their infomercials.
I just really want my life back! Laziness and lack of self discipline have been my friends for too long! On New Year's I made a bucket list of 10 things I wanted to do this year. I will also post those on this blog too for accountability purposes. If anyone does read this feel free to post back any helpful suggestions or ideas you might have for me as well. Anyone that knows me, knows how I feel about odd numbers and I will be turning 33 this year (yes, that is two uneven #'s!) I would like to be in a good frame of mind and comfortable with myself when this day comes. Otherwise you will see a Jesse Spano from Saved by the bell moment that will not be pretty! Well there it is. I have put it out there and now must follow through! For better or worse! I better get my butt to bed so that I can be ready for day 1!

Jakey's Blankies campaign #2

Hey Friends,

A year ago my friends the Dennison's welcomed a beautiful baby boy Jake to their family. Jakey was born with HLHS and unfortunately only stayed with us for 19 short days! Jakey earned his wings February 9th. Mind you though that this little guy was a fighter, and shared his sweet spirit with all that came into contact with him. I never got the honor or privledge to meet him, but let me tell you I felt his sweet spirit many times! Jake's amazing mom Liz, wanted to do something for the special heart babies and their families so she decided to make fabulous minkie blankets for these amazing kiddos. Last year I believe enough money was raised for 150 blankies! In honor of Jake, Liz wants to provide more "Jakey Blankies" to the Heart Hospital on February 9th, the day Jakey received his wings! Please check out her blog for all the info. She has a paypal account set up and everything. Times are tough I know, but any help would be greatly appreciated!

Love these kids!!

So I just wanted to give a little shout out to the Quinn kiddos! I really miss them especially around this time of year! Donelle had told me the story of Trevor praying for my Pops and it just melted my heart! I am so lucky that I got to be there when Nicolas and Kira were born. I totally think I am bad luck, but Donelle still let me be part of Kira's big day! I will never forget those experiences for multiple reasons LOL! This Thanksgiving season I am really trying to focus on being Thankful and so I want to spotlight each of the Clique's kiddos because they mean so much to me and I am so thankful to have these kids in my life! So this post is all about the Quinn kids!
Nicolas, you my friend are so grown up I have to look twice at pictures your Mom posts because of how big you've gotten! You are tons of fun and I enjoy hanging out with you a lot! I remember playing and throwing the football with you when I visited in Texas a while back that was fun stuff! I am also so glad you got baptized here in Safford and allowed me to be a part of that amazing day! You got to be baptized in the same font as me! How cool does that make us?!! You are awesome and such a help to your parents! Thanks for being such a great kid!
Trevor, my little buddy! I can't say enough about you! You and I got to make that long drive to Texas together when you first moved and you were such a great kid! You wanted to ride with your family, but got stuck with me and you didn't complain once! I am so glad you are my buddy! You are so fun and I love hanging out with you! I can't wait till you move back and we can hang out more!
Kira, You are awesome! I have so much fun hanging out with you and playing games! Your laugh just brightens my day! You are big help to your Mom and that is so cool! We have a lot of hanging out to do when you move back to Arizona and I can't wait! I love you a whole lot!!!
Brooklyn, You don't really even know me but I love you bunches too, and am excited to get to know you and hang out with you when you move back too!
High fives to the Quinn kids!
