Let the countdown begin...

Today marks two months until our trip to Myrtle Beach, SC. Brian's best friend, Dave, and his wife are renewing their wedding vows. We've been invited to witness the ceremony and stay in a condo for the week. So, we can't pass up this opportunity.

With that said, Brian and I have embarked on a weight loss regimen. We're both dieting and exercising. Now that I'm done having children, I have no excuse for this extra weight. So, it's time to get focused and do something about it. I'm hoping to shed at least 20lbs, if not more, in two months. With Brian's help, I'm sure I can be successful. He's a nut when it comes to exercising if he gets determined, and he's determined now.

Caleb is super excited about the upcoming trip to the beach. It'll be his first visit to a beach. I had to come up with a way to count down the days with him. I took a beach pail, and I attached the appropriate # of links until the day we leave. He takes off one link each night before bed. Once he reaches the bucket it'll be time for our trip. He loves taking off each link and can't wait until they are all gone.

Anyway, wish us luck on our exercise and weight loss goals. We'll keep you all updated.
