Merry Christmas Everyone....

Today I pulled Taylor out of school for a few hours(shhh, Bryce does NOT know) to head up to SLC to see none other than "Bobby" from Law and Order CI.....What a treat it was for us both. Taylor and I love to watch Law and Order together so it was fun to meet him. He was such a nice,nice man.(And in my mind he fell in love with me the moment he laid eyes on me!!!!) There is a really good rib joint out here called Rib City and his sister is the owner and they were doing a fundraiser for Fallen Policemen up in Sandy so I surprized Tay and off we went...sadly for her she did have to be checked back in after we ate and headed back....We are getting ready for Christmas as I am sure you all are. I have been DYING for snow...tomorrow is the day the storms are suppost to start. We shall see! So there are pic's below of a few things...we made gingerbread houses with good friends Chelsea and the Adam's (Krista we wish you could have stayed) and that was soooo fun! I am so thankful Robin,Chelsea and Krista for your friendships...more than you will ever know! I really truely love you all...(sniff,sniff..)
There is also a pic right after Turbokick with my friends Julie who is not only the MOST amazing teacher...HELLO LOOK AT THOSE ABS!!!! and does my hair but she is a great friend! And Leslie had the BEST arms ever!!!! She says it's from growing up bailing hay...I need to work on a farm! (FYI..this class is a total body workout and I burn about 650 cal. in the class. That is why we all look so lovely!!) I love you girls too...We finally had my brother-in-law take a pic of ALL of us...usually Marc or I are missing from the pictures. Our tree is up and all of our decorations,finally! Thanksgiving was spent with family and delicious food...Fall came and went too quickly. But the kids had fun with Marc raking up all the leaves! I am still hitting the gym daily and have not lost my passion for lifting. I went 4 weeks no sugar and had a week of treats...(not very many tho) and am back off for the most part. But enjoy now and then. Now alot of people ask my how and why I would want to do that...let me say that by week 3 that little layer of fat that everybody has over their abs is about gone. And all of a sudden it ain't so hard anymore!!!! lol And I know it isn't for everybody..but once you see those results.....well it is ALL worth it!!! (and all my fellow gym friends KNOW!!!)
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas....XOXOXO
I LOVE this man!!!!
