Not a Winter!!

So, does anyone else remember the cheesy practice in the 80's of figuring out what "season" you were? I remember at my Young Women's night at church on more than one occasion, having fabrics draped over me to figure out if I was a Spring, Summer, Winter or Fall. Well I am blonde, blue eyed and "fish belly" white so it was pretty easy to figure out that I was a summer. I always wanted to be a winter, they were so exotic and could wear all the really "cool" colors. Well it was not to be and as I get older and enjoy this season less and less (I hate cold feet) I must say the I am glad to be a Summer. I miss flip flops and the required pedicure to go with them. This year I will even enjoy the shorts and swim suits. Since September, (october for Brett) we have been on a weight loss journey. Brett and his son Christopher are days away from their goal. I have a little bit more to go, but lets face it my goal was a bit bigger than theirs. I feel great and look pretty darn good too. What a great feeling. I have had to buy lots of new clothes because even clothes that were screaming for mercy the last time worn, fall directly to the floor. Yay Me!!

Brett's 30th High School Reunion




So this weekend was one of two 30 year high school reunions for Brett. He attended one school system all of his life until senior year then moved across town. The was for the school he graduated with, the one with childhood friends will be later in the year. We packed up the family and made the trek to Laredo, Texas. Yeehaw. We ended up having a great time and met and reconnected with some really cool folks. I felt like a giant among shrimps but there was actually one girlfriend of a classmate that was a hair taller than me. We discussed the fact that we have no problem finding our shoe size in Laredo. We may just have to shop there more often. I met old football and baseball buddies and even a couple of old girlfriends. All very nice.
So, even though I married an old guy, we still manage to have fun now and again. LOL
