Sorry ...been really, really busy

Sorry, I have not blogged in the past week and a half. It has been insanely busy with the wedding, graduation, house renovation, work and kids all going on at the same time. Good news though is that in the last month I have dropped 10 pounds for a total of 15 so far. Whee ! I have tons of photos to post that I will try and get too soon.

Only 5 days until the Wedding -- 1 day until Adam Graduation !

The house looks amazing...Mike has worked non-stop on it for the past two weeks. It is almost finished. The kitchen looks so wonderful now and I love the colors we picked out. I promise to post before and after pics soon -- just finishing up a few small things. :)
