Ok, so it's been a WHILE!

So much has been going on and I don't even know where to start...

We went to the Bahamas as our Christmas present from Mom & Randy! It was a blast! I wish the weather was warmer though so I could have actually swam! Of course it's always nice to see and spend time with the family! This is a photo I snapped from the stairs of our condo!

I have had another birthday....whoo...and am now 28! Duston and I went to Buca Di Beppo that night and celebrated! :) I have been out of high school for ten years...with a reunion coming up in September. I feel OLD. Doesn't help that just about all my friends are youngins. LOL!

A week ago Monday we got a call from our property manager stating that we will have 30 days to vacate the property because the owner (we rent obviously) let the home go into foreclosure. Nice. Praise God we found another home in the same neighborhood! We will move in this weekend.

This past Sunday marks a very special event in Duston and my life. We were baptized! It was so special to have my husband right along side me in our walk. Other than the water being ICE COLD, it was a great experience. To top it off, we had some of our closest friends there to support us! :)

Duston was the 9th in the nation for his sales for the month of April at work. He received a nice little bonus for that! Go Duston! :) I am so proud of him. He truly works his butt off and deserves every ounce of credit that he gets!

Aydan is growing....and growing.....it just seems like this past year he has gotten more solid...really filled out...along with growing vertically.. ;) He just finished up T Ball season! He did so much better this last year! He will be starting Pre K in the fall and everyday he asks me if there are 3 more days til he starts...must be his favorite number...idk. LOL!

Weston...hmmm...we have been struggling with his behavior lately which is such a change. I'm guessing we are just in the terrible twos...that we missed with Aydan. He is just very clingy and whiny....please pray this passes and SOON! :)

Oh! Another semi exciting thing to add is that when Duston cleaned out the pool for the summer, there were about a million tadpoles (not really but definitely several hundred). So, we decided to make a fun and learning experience out of it and save 7 of them. They turned into frogs fairly quickly. Very cool! :)

I think that is all for now.....

WOW!

So, I cannot believe I never posted about a huge milestone that Duston and I crossed in January! We have been together for ten years as of January 16, 2009! We have been so busy with the dvd business that I never blogged about how proud I am of us! Everyday I am more in love with Duston. His hard work ethic really amazes me! He is such a good daddy and a faithful husband. I am truly blessed that God has sent Duston to be mine. <3

Above is a picture of me today and below was February 2008....GARF!

WOW! Ok, so when I started this weight loss journey last year around this time...I weighed nearly 30lbs more than I do now! It has truly been a roller coaster. I have started up at least three times since then or who knows I probably would have hit my ultimate goal by now (surely). Oh well. I am proud that I have managed to "maintain" for the most part. I will NEVER get to be that big again. :) With the Bahamas trip right around the corner, I want to stay on track as much as possible....yeah everyone slips up every now and then and that's not exactly what I mean by "stay on track". I want to eat healthy AT LEAST 5 days out of the week and exercise AT LEAST 5 times a week. Now, does that mean on the days that I don't "eat healthy" that I can eat whatever I want....pretty much....but in moderation! :) Here is a pic of me last year in February and then a recent one. Motivation!

YAY! The website is up and running!

I am so excited and thankful (to my husband) that my website is up and running! YAY! Please check it out...

Here are a couple cute photos from our random photo shoot around the house tonight...LOL! If you know me, then you know I am a picture freak! :)

Lorelei's Creative Side (my new business!)

Well, after YEARS of saying I was going to have a business...I am finally putting it into effect......YAY! I named it Lorelei's Creative Side and what I do is create DVD slideshows/montages. These can be for ANYTHING.....weddings, funerals, birthdays, Baby's 1st year, proposing marriage (that's how Duston did!) and one for "just because"..... I do one every year of the boys for our parents in Ohio. It makes it nice because they don't get to see them but a couple times a year. It kind of catches them up! I have a LIMITED time offer.....just to encourage my friends and family to either use my services and/or help me promote my business. My offer is HALF OFF my pricing! Email me......or call.......Duston is working on my website as we speak. It is not available yet but soon soon soon!!! It will be www.LCSdvdcreations.com! In the meantime...until my website is up and running, check out my sample dvd through this link to my myspace videos....

I have tried to upload the dvd straight to my blog but it won't work! It is just a quick 4 minute dvd slide show of my boys just to show people what exactly I have to offer!!!! Oh! It DOES NOT matter if you are far.....you can either send me pics through the mail on a disc or flashdrive....or mail them....or upload them to snapfish....or I can take them from your myspace.....whatever works. I am asking everyone for your help. Any and ALL is greatly appreciated! They really do make awesome and memorable gifts!
Thanks,
~Lorelei
