Hubert and I lost something, but please don't help us find it.

The strangest thing has happened. Well, maybe not as strange as it is life-changing. You see, at the beginning of the year, Hubert's work began a contest for changing your life for the better which included drinking a certain amount of water a day, eating a certain amount of fruits and veggies a day, exercising for a certain amount a time a day, and not eating candy. And, if you do these things enough each month for an entire year, you will be entered into a contest to win a cruise. Well, Hubert and I did these things and we did them so much, we have been entered in twice. So, we recently had family pictures taken and I thought I would brag a little bit because we've lost a little weight. So here we are one year ago.

And, with a combined total weight lost of 100 pounds, here we are one year later.

Now, if only we can win that cruise.

Bear Lake in November?

Last weekend, we took a mini vacation to Bear Lake and even though it was the beginning of November and Bear Lake is freezing most of the time, we had a great time. We were so lucky with the weather being clear and the temperature being in the low 60's. No, we didn't go swimming because that would be ridiculous, but we spent a lot of time down at the beach and loved the watching the girls play in the sand, collect shells, and explore. Let me just say it was a much needed time away and we loved every minute of it!

I had to post a picture of this metal, rusty slide which I'm sure will give you a multitude of diseases as it cuts you if and when you foolishly decide to slide down it.

I had to post this picture of these screaming teenage girls who thought it would be funny to go swimming, in Bear Lake, in November. They soon realized how unfunny it was.
