in and out ....

Hey all ! I haven't been posting much here and I feel like such a slacker for it but if I had about twelve or thirteen more hours in a day I could blog all I wanted . I am really excited because of things that have passed and events to come . I hit my 22 lb mark today ...YAY! and I have lost 7 & 3/4 inches off my body . I am really thrilled over all that and I wore a pair of capri's today that were tight on me two months ago and they were falling off of me tonight , that always makes a girl feel good !

Another thing I am excited about is an outing we are doing with our church tomorrow . We are riding bicycles around the loop in Cades Cove then having a picnic lunch . If you are not familiar with Cades Cove , it is in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the loop is 11 miles long . It is curvy, hilly and I think it is going to be a great challenge but I am not worried about making it because I exercise and walk every single day now and I have to admit that I am feelin' pretty darn good these days . I can't help but wish The Village Idiot was making the trek with me tomorrow since this is right up his alley but this kind of trip would probably be gravy to him however, I think he would be great support .

I am so proud of my children and I am excited about thursday but at the same time I dread it. See the thing is, my 14 yr old is graduating from the 8th grade that morning and then they are having a prom that night and in between all of that my 10 yr old daughter is graduating from 5th grade . Needless to say , I am going to be a big tear drippin' , snot slingin' , weepin' woman come thursday. I can't believe that my baby is going to high school ! Where did the time go ? I am soooo proud of who she has become and how intelligent she is . I am also very proud of my ten year old daughter and my eight year old son for who they have become .

While I am at it here , I know this sounds stupid but I just have to get it out . I feel so bad because I haven't been able to read and comment on all of your blogs as consistently as I use to . I am really not ignoring y'all but I have been so covered up . I know that none of you are worried about it at all but you know how my worrisome brain works . Anyways, I do want to say THANK YOU all for being such good blogger friends , it means alot to me ! Good night !
