I have all this stuff in my head that I wanna say, so I’m just going to start talking. I’m blogging via voice on my phone so seriously…… I’m just going to babble on about what’s been happening over here, then do a baby edit. Please expect errors and babbling…. First, lets enjoy the pics of these two!! I finally can share these two engagement photos!! Yay! This is my daughter Tess and her fiancé Manuel. They will be married March 30, 2019 and this momma can hardly wait! I had a couple of pics from their engagement party, but nothing this beautiful, so I’ll just share these. So sweet. I can’t pick a favorite, but I love both of these for certain!! Monday I went in for my physical therapy on my breast. Every appointment, Dani (she is awesome!) basically kneads my scar tissue/fat necrosis with this hard plastic […]

Great Weekend and a Belated Father’s Day
Such a great weekend! A trip to the Farmer’s Market and lots of time spent outside over the weekend. Just look at the size of these……tomatoes that I found at the market! I was going for BLT’s, but instead made this BLT Pizza on a Cauliflower Crust from Trader Joe’s. Uh….yum. I drizzled this with Mayo and added Avocado. Saturday was a simple dinner of Fish, Salad and Sliced tomatoes. I’m not a huge tomato fan, but there is something about these fresh homegrown ones that I love! Mike and I went out for breakfast Sunday and I ordered off the kids menu. I wasn’t super hungry but wanted something. I ate half the potatoes, half the pancakes (scooped that butter off and added a little syrup) and gave Mike my bacon. Have you ever ordered off of the kids menu? Less expensive AND smaller servings! […]
What’s Your Style?
My Friday so far has been relaxed with a leisurely morning at home, followed by attending my WW meeting. It’s cloudy and 68 so I’m in sweats with a bottomless cup of coffee in my hand and I could not be happier! My routine is all over the place these last several weeks. Well, I guess I don’t actually have a routine, but I’d like one. Until I do have one, I’m just trying to get in a blog post when I can and hopefully share something useful, or at least say “hi”. I’m tracking, drinking tons of water, walking and cooking. My weight is stuck, I have Kankles and swollen hands and the hot flashes are intense (I will admit, they are less frequent when I drink less coffee!) and the doc has me experimenting with my meds to work through the puffiness and these aching joints. All side effects […]
A Quick “Hello”
My last blog post I mentioned that we were going to Dallas for our daughters Engagement Party. The party was beautiful I’ll share pictures after Tess and Manuel have the opportunity to do that first. We met so many great people that are important to Tess and Manuel and it felt great to be able to put a face to a name. Unfortunately, Manuel had an Uncle that became very ill (he has not been well for quite sometime) as he was going to his car at the end of the party. The ambulance came and we were all at the ER within minutes with his family. His uncle spent the next several days in the hospital and passed away on Friday. Right now the focus for Tess and Manuel is on his family and surrounding them with love and support. Prayers are welcomed. I’ll share details of the party when it feels […]
Life Is Good!
Hi. My name is Julie and I used to write this blog. lol Okay, for realzzzz. I have not posted for about a month, but it’s really a good thing because I have just been living life and life is pretty full and happy right now.
