Long time no see...

I cant believe its been 6 months since my last entry, I apologize! Not much has happened in that time. Mainly working and raising babies :). I have continued on my weight loss journey & have managed to lose 10 more lbs for a grand total of 35lbs! I didnt even realize I had that much extra weight on me then. My husband has also embarked on a weight loss journey of his own. The week after his mother died he started 'The China Diet' (google it) per his doctor's recommendation & to date he has lost 60lbs (in about 5 months) & counting! He has not done one bit of exercise (well I mean he is an active man but no formal exercise). I tell people if you want to see the two schools of thought on effective wt loss just look at me & my husband: he is (major) diet change & no exercise and I am LOTS of exercise & mild diet change. We have both lost weight but although I am more toned then he is, his was much more dramatic. I am excited for us both!

Now lets see, in other news. Mr. Bowie cut his fingertip off... technically he pulled it off at work. Yes he pulled his fingertip off at work. Do you think that has slowed him down? No, it hasnt. He is learning that he may have to readjust the way he does things, for a little while anyway. The kids were really upset for the first day or so (& so was I) but overall everyone is fine now.

Two of my sisters are back from California. One to live with me, the other was apparently just passing through, but I digress... Next year may bring two new family members as my brother & his girlfriend & my sis & her boyfriend are getting very serious in their relationships. I am cautiously optimistic. I met my possibly-soon-to-be-brother-in-law and he seems like a nice guy, so far ;) but who am I to judge right? My dad didnt like my husband when we were dating so I do understand the way she feels. I am still waiting to meet my brothers girlfriend...

Anyway that was a pitiful 'update' I know but the good news is not much has been going on and as all of you who have families know, boring is sometimes a good thing :)... I hope it is not 6 more months before I update again. perhaps my life will 'liven up by then, lol... goodbye for now & thanks for reading.
