Busy Weekend

I had one of the best weekends I have had in a long time. Our nephew, Jacob, came to spend the night with us Friday night for the first time and we had the best time with him. We spent Friday night playing at McDonald's and watchingthe Cars DVD over and over again. He is the sweetest, most loving little boy that I know, Saturday morning I was woken up at 7am to him rubbing my cheek and asking me to open my eyes so we could go to Wal-Mart and get a new truck. After we took him home Saturday afternoon we spend some time with my parents since my mother had surgery the other day. As I get older I learn to appreciate my mom and dad a little more everyday. My dad, though he looks tough on the outside, is the biggest goofball I know. We had a good time visiting and cutting up with him. I got to spend sometime with my always busy friend Kelly Saturday night when we got back home, I love sitting and talking to her, our talks are always interesting and usually pretty funny, she has a way of always making me feel better.

The diet seems to be going pretty well, I have done better than I ever thought I would and I have even lost 5lbs in a week, which to me is pretty dad gum good! I even quit smoking this week, which I know has made my mother proud, but it has been harder than anything I have ever done, especially living with a smoker, but I know I can get through it too!
