Busy, busy weekend

Honey-do and I traveled to Oklahoma this weekend to spend time with friends. That was much needed!!! We each went to a bachelor and bachelorette party in OKC!!! My cousin, Ashley, is getting married in two weeks. I went to her party with a great group of girls I went to high school with!!!! FUN!!! Honey-do went with the groom, Jeffrey, and all the guys that we graduated with to the bachelor party!! I am so glad that my friends took him in as one of their own! I think they had a great time too! 

But, before we partied, we were spent the morning with cousins, Tim and Tracy, and their little ones. It's Easter time and new suits just had to be showed-off!! I took family photos for them and will have the fun shots up on my photo blog later this week: tpphotography.wordpress.com. But, here is a sneak-peak, just for you!

Young Family photos

A few weeks ago I took these: 



And I remembered why I love photography so much. But to see more, please visit tpphotography!!!
 

It's good to be home....

I'm so glad that I was able to visit my family (the WHOLE family) last week. But let me tell you, it's good to be home! :) 

I took 5 days off work for "vacation.." However, two of those days, I spent with my mom at my house. She had never been to my house and was here for a week to kick off her summer vacation. It was fun. We went shopping and she helped me paint my bedroom! That was fun!

Then, the weekend of June 7 came about.... woah... getting ahead of myself there... Thursday came and Honey-do and I met his parents and his grandparents in Chickasha to begin our road trip to Midland, Texas! That was fun!!! Really, it was neat to see the changing landscapes. It was fun to spend time with the family. 

But the real reason we went to Texas was for Honey-do's cousin's, we'll call him Cowboy, wedding! Here are a few pictures! 

It was a lot of fun! :) 

I am also posting more of these on my photography web site: tpphotography.wordpress.com.

Haunted by my past

This weekend was a haunting one--- ironic? It was supposed to be filled with joy and laughter, 

cause it was Easter. But, I wasn't laughing. 

I had asked my mother to bring me pictures from my high school days. I noticed I had none as I have been unpacking things in our new house. She brought me quite a few. Now, let me remind you that high school for me  was a mere four years ago. Man.... I was skinny. How I wish I could look like that again. How dreadful that I have gain so much. 

Most bloggers post happy before and after shots. The ones of before, where they were fat... and the ones of after, where they lost the weight. I will post a before and after of the opposite. 

Now, I know this "before" is of my senior cruise and prom... but look how skinny and nice looking I was. 

And this is me in December before graduation from college. Yep, that's my Honey-do! I sure do love him. Not to mention the weight gain on me! Whoo-hoo! LOL.

However, I hope to post a new "After the After" shot. That will be me losing the weight I gained during college. Yes, the great freshman 15 -- that turned into the freshman 50 the sophomore 20, the junior 10 and so forth and so on. 

I am totally embarrassed to say how much I weigh right now. Maybe as I lose weight and get to my goal of 150 lb. I will reveal the total amount lost or the total I am now. But, I just can't. I don't think I can face it being publicly stated -- just yet. I know I will when I can accomplish the loss.  Pray for me. Pray that I can quit the Dr. Pepper, fried foods, and overall laziness. Pray.
