I leave tomorrow for Charlotte - WOO_HOO!!!  Feels like I've been waiting for this forever!!!  As of today I've lost 14 pounds since I started my diet nearly 4 weeks ago....a little shy of my goal, but I still feel good about what I have lost.  I mainly started the diet to lose a few pounds for the race, but now I kinda like it and how I feel so I may just keep it up for awhile.....even if it's just to maintain where I'm at right now.

My son, Aaron, won a bike at school yesterday!  Apparently he wrote an essay for Fire Safety Week and never told any of us about it......and his essay won first place in the whole school!  Wal Mart sponsored the contest and a picture of him w/the bike and his essay will be posted at Wal Mart.  When I got home yesterday he said, "Hey mom.....did ya know I'm gonna be famous?"  He's excited that his pic will be posted at Wal Mart!  Of course Daniel was jealous and told me I have to buy him a bike to make it fair......kids!!!!

Anyways......guess I'll fill all of ya in when I get back from Charlotte!!!
