Almost 1st grade

I can't believe it.. He is only days from ending his career as a Kindergartner. The time that seemed so far away is almost over. I think 1st grade seems much scarier than Kindergarten. Gone all day, all the choices to be made on his own. Good thing we have all summer to scare him straight. He is doing a great job at Tball and really seems to like it. It is fun to watch. Everyone gets to hit and everyone gets to run around the bases. No score and no real competition. Why can't real life be like this?

My sister got married last weekend. The weather was perfect and she looked beautiful. The day went off without a hitch, and the Chaplain sure got a kick out of my name. What can I say? I didn't choose it. My sister is now Sara Senn. Say that 5 times fast. Eli did a great job as ringbearer and looked very handsome in his tux. He reports that the pants were very itchy! When he had to try on is shoes at the tux shop he had on think sport socks so he had to put on one of those pantyhose footy things. I was dying inside..

Asher is really working hard on pulling up, mostly while in the tub, which doesn't work for me and this makes him very mad. His nose is running like crazy this week, so a lot of wiping and a lot of crying because of the wiping. I can't believe we are only 2 months from his birthday.. That flew by!

I am trying to drink 64 oz of water a day to kickstart some major weight loss, and it is not easy.. That is a lot of water, I really have to choke it down. Trying to space it out, so it doesn't seem so daunting. Anyone else notice a difference when you actually get that much water in daily? The biggest loser has inspired me to really take a look at myself, plus the pictures of me in the bridesmaid dress. I am tired of being depressed about my weight, and feeling like I have no control so I am committing to walking and water and then from there. I really would like to lose 20 lbs by the end of summer, so labor day. There it is in black and white and you are all reading it, so now I am accountable. Yikes.. Anyone else want to journey with me?
