Beautiful Day

Today is gorgeous! I feel very happy today which is a big thing because lately I have had the blues and can't seem to get out of them. I know probably just a woman thing. It also probably has something to do with not being able to fit in to allot of my summer clothes, well mostly the shorts and capri pants uggg! I have started a weight loss program through a magazine called SELF we shall see what happens. I am also trying to stop drinking pop. Very hard but definitely doable. Eddie's sister quite pop and lost quite a bit of weight.Hope that works for me. I would like to drop about 20 pounds. I want to feel good about myself and try and be healthier. Days like today really help the mood and I feel like getting out and walking or something, maybe this evening with the boys and Eddie. Here's to summer clothes and fitting into them! YEA!

Eddie's uncle Ray passed away last week. He was 66 years old. He had cancer. I don't like that stuff. It takes to many people to soon. He was Eddie's dad's brother. We were not super close with them, but did enjoy going over to their house every once in a while, they lived in Greeley, in the same house for ever. During the viewing the other night they had put together a power point of pictures and music. It was very touching and made me think about family and all the great times we have together that sometimes we just take for granted. We should take as many pictures and video as possible and enjoy every minute of our time with family. Well ,then reality hit and I of course didn't make it through the day without getting upset with Jacob, David and Eddie. I guess that's just life and thank goodness I get to "start over" tomorrow. Our Family has definitely been blessed, Eddie has lost so many Uncles and Cousins. I don't want to have to experience that for a long time. So everyone take care of yourselves:) So that's my week in a nut shell. On a happier note we are number 33 in the adoption pool. We now have to make a video of our family and things we do. We have 45 days to get it done, I think it will be fun to put together. I haven't decided if we will hire someone to do it or try ourselves. Probably try ourselves and then if it turns out to be really lame or something bring in the professional:) So we will see. Hope everyone is doing well. Love all of you lots. Love Crystal
