Dining room re-arranged...

LOL

SO we took out our desk and Tom worked his tail off putting up my new weight machine my cousin gave me. She didn't even use it once. I actually gave mine to my brother cause we just didn't have the room for it....but when she called I just couldn't pass it up. I was really missing mine.

Tom knows for me to succeed I need all my equipment at home. He is so tolerant of me and my passion for fitness.

So if you come visit me we may have to sit on the weight machine to have a cup of tea. :)

I love this....

"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone ... People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed and redeemed and redeemed. Never throw out anybody. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm. As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others." - Written by Sam Levenson, recited by and often attributed to Audrey Hepburn.

38 and feeling GREAT!!!!

ah life is good as we age. I am just loving it!!

I remember when I turned 30 I seriously wanted to puke. Now I am enjoying every year and they just keep getting better and better.

My awesome friend Maria is in town. WOOHOO!!!!!!!

Thanks to all my family and friends who called me, sent cards and text messages wishing me a Happy Birthday. SO SWEET!!!

Troy Cook made my day when he wished me a happy 28th birthday. :)

Just wanted to update real quick.

LIFE IS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!

In the Zone....

I love this feeling. I truly believe we all need goals...

that is what I was missing for the past 9 months. Yes, I took on a new job and my goal was to learn my job and learn it well...but it wasn't a goal that lifted my spirits. I needed one that not only made me feel AWESOME, but gave me the desire to help others. Some day I WILL own a training studio. I can't even imagine the feeling I would get to wake up each morning and head to a job that truly is my passion. Some day. :)

I need to make me a Dream board. hmmm. I think I will do that this weekend with my kids.

Perry misses you SO MUCH...

and so do I. :(

Getting on that stage for a second time....

It gives me butterflies in my tummy to think I WILL be walking on that stage again. I am SO EXCITED..but also NERVOUS!!



I do know one thing FOR SURE..my stage presence needs improvement.

Maria and I took a posing class from Tanji Johnson. I learned so much..but I think so much that I was overloaded. I am going to relax, smile and truly ENJOY the show.



The highlight will be having the people I love there to support me. Tom, kids, mom, sisters, ELIZABETH and KEVIN COUTU...to name a few. :)

I'm off to do my workout. Hope you are ALL having a WONDERFUL day.

xoxo

KANSAS!

That is all I have on my brain. :)

Geez..I had the most AMAZING time. Everytime I think about it I get a huge smile on my face.

THANK YOU ELIZABETH and KEVIN for EVERYTHING!!!



The first night was so much fun. The girls (Elizabeth,Patty,Pam,Kay) are SO adorable. The really need their own sitcom.



It was sooo cool to meet tracker friends. They are ALL so beautiful and kind.



Watching Tom, Denise, Johnny and Suzanne golf was so much fun! Having Troy Cook call us while we were at the golf course was AWESOME! Thanks Troy. :)

Working out with Denise was a huge treat. Dang, I wish she could train me. I would be looking FINE!





I never told her, but I was sooooooooooo sore.

Hearing all the speakers was SO INSPIRATIONAL!!!



AND the BEST part of the whole weekend was .....having my gorgeous hubby by my side. :)
