Death of a Loved One

It is always difficult to see someone you love suffer but it is even more difficult to know that they are leaving this earth. This last week Donnie's grandfather passed away and it was difficult. It was difficult to go to the hospital to see him talking and joking and then the next day to go up and see that he was not responsive. It was wonderful to see how much family came to surround him and how much love was felt in the room. It was amazing to see the strength of Jeanie and the love she has for her dad. Again it was amazing to see the love that was felt for this wonderful man. I had the opportunity to get to know him for 3 1/2 years. I wish I would have got more time but I am thankful to have known him. It was so fun to listen to all the stories that children and grandchildren had of him. I am so grateful that we had the opportunity to tell him goodbye and that we could let him know that we were there for him but that there were others waiting for him to join them in heaven. Donnie was able to take some pictures at the hospital and that was really nice. He got a great one of him and grandpa and I am so glad he did!! I took a picture of Jeanie and him off facebook because I absolutely love it!!! We are all going to miss him but at least we know that we will be reunited again. We Love you Grandpa!!! XOXO!

Fudge! :)

We were so excited to announce that we had added a new member to our family. His name is Fudge and we absolutely adore him. We got him on February 25 and love him to pieces. Sassy and him get a long so well. I call them brother and sister and Donnie calls them boyfriend and girlfriend :) He is quite a chunk. He weighs almost 18 lbs heavier than Sassy...so needless to say we are trying to help him lose some weight. It has been so fun having two pup's. They are our family!!!





XOXO

Sunday Drive :)

On Sunday we wanted to soak in the sunshine so we took a drive up to Morgan! It was absolutely gorgeous and the pups had so much fun. We stopped in Peterson and let them enjoy some time in the Weber River. Sassy likes the river much more than Fudge. We then headed up to to East Canyon Reservoir. *It was beatiful* :) I wanted to go out on the ice so badly but I didn't want to fall through lol.







I can't wait to start camping!!!! :)

Weight Loss Journey

Weight.. This has been on my mind for days now. I try not to obsess over it but sometimes it is the only thing that is on my mind. I have days where I get discouraged and want to quit but I remember why I am losing weight. I remember all of the energy I have gained back and I remember how happy I am. I am becoming a different person and it doesn't happen over night like some people want it to. It is one hour one day one week one month at a time :) I am PROUD to say that I have lost 13.2 lbs in 7 weeks. That might not seem like a lot to some but it is A LOT for me! I weigh in again tomorrow morning and am hoping for another weight loss. Next week I might post some pics but for now I am just happy with the changes I am making.

XOXO :)
