Few Days Late...

Happy Birthday to my Wonderful hubby.

His Birthday was Sunday, but during the hussle and bussle of Vacation I forgot to blog about it.

We celebrated his birthday with home made BBQ Grilled Baby Back Ribs, Augratin Potatoes, Baked Beans, Corn bread, and Key Lime Pie!! All at his request...

Cruise was AMAZING!!

Well I am home from my cruise trying to get back on schedule. I had an AMAZING time!! We Cruised on the Carnival Ship named Elation. 

 Our ports were Cozumel and Calica (aka: Cancun) Mexico. We first ported in Calica, Mexico. There we went to an Eco-themed Park called XCaret. It was wonderful!!! This pic below is a picture we took while doing the Under Ground River. It took us 2 hours to finish the entire river. It was in a cave with real live bats EEEEEEEkk!! 

 There was so much to do at this park. Snorkeling, swimming with dolphins, huge sea turtles, Mayan Ruins, restaurants, a Mexican Cemetery, and of course the Beautiful scenery.

The next port was Cozumel. We did some shopping then spent the rest of the day lounging on the beach. I just LOVED all the colorful buildings and shops.

The boat was a little rocky at times but overall was a ton of fun. Loved most of all spending time with my hubby!!

 

Persistence Pays Off!!!!

Persistence does pay off.... 6 weeks ago I started on a weight loss journey. I am happy to announce that I have lost 17 lbs!!! That is an average of almost 3lbs per week. I was hoping for 20 but will take 17 for now. I have been training for another half marathon in the midst of all the weight loss but not as consistent as I should so now I will be training for it on my cruise next week :)) I am hoping by my half Marathon I will have lost 25lbs total!! Then by my Florida trip (in July) I would have lost 45lbs total.

Happy Spring and Summer to Everyone. I am so ready for warmer weather.

 

So I started this little project last week... I had this great Idea to re-do Isaac's room into a big boy room. We decided to do rustic cowboy theme. I thought it would be a Great idea to refinish a cast iron bed that was passed down to me from my Great Grandmother.

Here are a few before pics...

It was rusty and ugly. 

 So I sanded and sanded with some help from Isaac...

 We got it down to the original metal... Now it was time to paint...

 After seven cans of spray paint I had it looking totally new :))

I was so proud of the bed I couldn't wait to show it off. Well my friend came over and she mentioned to me it was a full size bed. I thought no I surely thought it was twin. HAHAHA nope I spent three whole days working on this bed to find out it was a full bed, not the size I needed. So now I'm back to square one. Mike put the finished bed back in the storage and we are saving it for the day Isaac is ready for a bugger bed.
