1. I finally got my detox body wrap that was my Valentine's gift from Rob for Valentine's Day. It was very relaxing and my skin feels great. However, it has caused the seven layers of skin that were burned on my legs in Gulf Shores to peel off and I've been dealing with nasty, flaky legs all week.

2. I was able to help a couple of my wonderful, awesome friends here in Georgia give the daughter and daughter-in-law (same girl) of two more of my wonderful, fantastic friends a bridal shower on Tuesday night. I'm seriously surrounded by fun and talent with these friends and I'm absorbing every great idea they have for future events. The lucky couple are going to Aruba for their honeymoon so the theme of the shower was "Hot! Hot! Hot!." It was a tropical theme and everyone was assigned to bring presents that would "heat things up" in the kitchen, bathroom or bedroom. Aubry, the bride, was the cutest and seemed to have so much fun!

3. I loved American Idol this week as the six finalists were mentored by Andrew Lloyd Webber and I thought that David A's version of "Think of Me" was incredible. I seriously wish they would record that and put in on the radio. However, I was sick for Brook and seriously had that moment when she started her song and then stopped and asked to start again playing in my head over and over for two days straight. My favorite is still David C. I think he's got a great thing going!

4. Eric finished his CRCT (Georgia State Testing) tests on Tuesday and Natalie started on Wednesday. She finished up on Friday and now we are allllll done!! Yea!! Both kids said they were "soooo easy" which honestly makes me a little nervous.

5. Our friends, Brent and Aubry, were married in the Atlanta Temple on Saturday. They look soooo
young and I had to wonder if Rob and I ever looked that young.

6. Their reception/party was the night before and I was lucky enough to be able to help with the set up and then that night serving food. It was such a great party and so incredibly beautiful!!!! Her colors were bright pink and orange. It was so cheerful and elegant and just a super fun thing to be apart of. Like I said before, I'm absorbing all these great ideas for future (way future) events. I've
always LOVED weddings and receptions. It was so much fun to help out!!!!

7. We had only one showing for our house this week and that was after we dropped the price $10,ooo dollars on Saturday. I finally convinced Rob that if we have to move, let's just try to get this over with, get there and start fresh. It is sooo stressful to sell a house and move in any market and this market stinks!

8. Tyler continues to keep us all smiling. (I felt like I needed to add him to this post so he wouldn't feel left out). He took three showers/baths in a 24 hour period between Friday night and Saturday night. One after each baseball game. He's a crack up, knows how to have a good time and loves to get dirty!

9. We had baseball games Wednesday night (Eric- make up game), Thursday night (Natalie), Friday night (Eric), Saturday morning at 8:00 am with batting practice starting at 7:00 am (Natalie) and Saturday night (Eric). Natalie lost the first one but won the second one and got three hits in the game on Saturday and Eric lost all three. His team really struggles but Eric played catcher in all three games and did better and better in each one.

10. And to top off the week!!! Eric is now sporting a "Super Shiner" on his left eye! Talk about scary. In his game last night, he was playing short stop and the player from the other team tried to steal second. The catcher threw a hard ball to Eric to get the kid out but Eric said he had dirt in his eye and couldn't see very well. Well the next thing we saw (and heard) was Eric getting popped on the head with the ball and then falling to the ground. Rob was off the bleachers and running faster than anything and I stood up to watch coaches and umpires running and then surrounding my child who was on the ground on the field. It was really scary. One of our friends told me I could go out on the field but I was literally sick to my stomach and afraid of what I might find. My legs felt like jello. As I started to head out to him, Eric stood up and they brought him over. He's got a great looking black eye and after talking to a doctor (Clairissa's dad who is here for the wedding) we brought him home, cleaned him up and showered him with pillows and treats and lots of love. He was given a Priesthood blessing and had a good night's sleep and seems to be feeling better today.
I told him it was a rough way to go but that he's going to have fun showing that thing off to his friends at school tomorrow!!!! I think he loves the attention.

Actually, 10.2 if you want to be exact! :)
It's "only" taken me 7 weeks but I keep telling
myself that I'm not in a race. Of course, I'd
like to lose it all tomorrow but I'm trying to
make this is lifestyle change and you can't be too
drastic with these things or you won't stick to it.

One more pound and I'll be at my pre-surgery
weight but I still have 15 more to lose to be to
the weight I was when I moved to Georgia.
Apparently I like the southern cooking a little
too much. I have had a lot of fun here in Georgia!

I love weight watchers and I love the classes. I
spent two hours Sunday night making menu plans
and tweaking recipes and then figuring out how
much a serving would be. I'm eating really healthily
right now and exercising. I've made three new friends
up at the workout room in the community center at our
neighborhood. Two of them are originally from New York
and have the cutest accents. I feel really good and better
than I have for a loooong time!!!!
