Most of you know that I’m participating in the bodyFIT eXtreme challenge. It’s three months of exercise 6 days a week and meal plans based on our metabolic type. In the first 30 days I had only lost 4.5 pounds, but I had begun to completely transform the shape of my body. (And to be [...]

…actually, she probably said it much better than I could…
When you get a minute, please check out Kimbo’s blog about the bodyFIT eXtreme challenge and see what she has to say about our 30-day mark.  Everything she has said in this post is exactly what I think and feel. We truly are a family and [...]

We’ve just started Week 3 of the bodyFIT eXtreme challenge and I must say that I’m actually having fun…and I’m beyond excited about and impressed with the results I’ve seen so far!

my fabulous husband, Mason
I woke up this morning to hear Steven Curtis Chapman’s How Do I Love Her? on the radio. It’s a pretty powerful song about a man asking God to help him love his wife. As the morning’s gone on, I’ve allowed the song to marinate in my mind and some things have [...]

In honor of Mama’s Day (yes, I have a Mama and not a Mother), I want to give a “shout out” to my totally awesome Mama, Candy.

So, Matthew’s in Hong Kong right now supposedly teaching English to a bunch of kids. (I feel sorry for those kids, but that’s another topic altogether.) We barely regularly communicate anymore, being left to the devices of Facebook, Skype and email.
Well, being the loving sister that I am, I decided to play a trick on [...]
