New Year, New Me!

 Here is the post that I can't wait to share. 

Back in March, I received some news regarding my health. Nothing to harsh but it was a big of a wakeup call. Knowing that 50 is quickly approaching, I decided to take control. I want to be healthy for my family, and for my future. 

So, here I am. Down 84 lbs and FEELING AMAZING!


Bring on Year 50. I'm so ready!


Ava's New Ink

 She loves her tattoos. I can't argue with her. She picks the best. 

Her first big purchase on her own! 


The roman numerals are her adoption date. 

She picked this all on her own. Even with that cocky little mouth, she still gets me. 

Date Night!

 We had a real life date night. 

Dinner at Benchmark! 


with a Cranberry Margarita 

Then off to a movie - The Housemaid! 

Truly -- Date your spouse. 
We had so much fun!
