What an incredible time tonight, helping give out food boxes! It's amazing how God brings things about in your life. It was so awesome to be able to help so many!
Yes, I have lost weight. Thanks for noticing. It's kind of embarrassing actually. My husband and I had the funniest conversation Sunday. I put on that dress (the one CarolRoss referred to) - and it was a shock to me too. When I first got that dress, I could barely fit into it. There it was Sunday, literally "hanging" on me. And our conversation was:Eric: Honey, what's it gonna take?
Me: For what? What are you talking about?
Eric: For you to go buy some new clothes.
Me: WHAT?
Eric: It's the one thing I'd change about you right now. You always get things for me and the boys, but never for yourself. Would you PLEASE go shopping for clothes for YOU?
Me: When the house in Harrison sells.....
Eric: [giving me a look like "uhuh, wrong answer."]
Me: Okay, I'll wait until I hear of a good sale or something, perhaps after Thanksgiving.....
Eric: [same look, only a little sterner now.]
Me: Honey, it's so busy right now and......
Eric : [leaves the room]
Me: [knowing I've said the wrong thing] {and I'm thinking: the boys need things worse than I do....bills to be paid .......the holidays.....starving pygmies in New Guinea .....and the list goes on and on}
Eric: [enters the room and says] Sebrena, I can't believe I'm having to beg you to go shopping.
We both end up laughing. What a change from how we used to "fight and fuss". We still "fuss at each other".....only it's a WHOLE LOT different now!

:wave: First!
Congratulations on your weight loss. My sister, Diana, has lost 77+ pounds now. She had a gastric bypass on May 1st. She was a pretty heavy gal. She'd tried everything. What is that you have done?
Have you seen the new snapfitness in town? I'm thinking about joining it. My other sister Sandy and I will probably join. I actually stopped by yesterday to do that and they were gone to lunch. So only members who had already joined... and had their keys... could get inside.
Have a great Thanksgiving!
Wasn't last night great? I mean, I was stuck in the activities complex watching workers' kids (which by the way - where were Jerry and Tiger?), but I kept peeking out to see all the cars. WOW! Awesome.
You are hilarious with the shopping thing, but I'm right there with you - except Bobby doesn't beg me to go. I always put me off until I have holes in my clothes.
Congrats on the weight loss. How are you losing?
Love ya!
Great for you!! How are you doing it?
I loved the convo you & hubby had. Only my hubby doesn't do that w/ me.
But I do put the boys and him first before me. 
Happy Thanksgiving!
