If we had not brought any home I would have been good to go! :) Still I need to tell my flesh no. One cupcake is okay. Three is not. Doing better this week. The best way to fight temptation is to steer clear of it. Praying for you! Love you!

Scared of my scale again!! My only consolation is that I AM 60 lbs lower than my highest recorded weight. <br />I didn't eat Hannah's or Sarah's cupckes on Sunday...or any other dessert. Eating alone is my problem. You are doing good in my opinion. Praying for you....keep praying for me!

So glad it wasn't so bad that she missed out on fun times later in the day. Loved that Mary passed the guy in the go-cart at then end. Way to go, Mary! I love putt-putt golf. All those holes in one were great....especially with Lydia getting the first one. So great that you had dolphins/porposies and birds so close to shore to enjoy watching and getting pics. I was sure that one shot was of a dolphin jumping out of the water! I take your word for it that it wasn't. Loved the big pic windows at the Fisherman's wharf restaurant. I think the restaurant floor shaking would have shaken me up!lol i have heard of Mahi-Mahi but never knew what it was. So you got to try a lot of new seafood dishes, I bet. Got a big kick of you starting at McD's and ending at McD's. Sounds like the girls definitely got spoiled and had a wonderful vacation. I am so happy they will have this to remember all of their lives. They are truly blessed. Wonder if I could possibly get well enough to go with you in 2015? That would be so special. I'll try to start saving money....just in case! :) Love you all so much~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262879922296822557.post-51675399229249917992013-05-16T16:31:04.116-07:002013-05-16T16:31:04.116-07:00These were great, too, Eva.

Too bad you didn't fet to stay longer at the top after your climb. I laughed so hard at the girls pretending to be so fatigued. They did a good job! lol Spending big money for something and finding out it really wasn't worth it is a good lesson learned. Absolutely loved the sunset pic. I want to see all of Hannah's sketches she drew sometime. Lydia asleep on the steps was so precious! We use to use "sticks" to roast marshmallows and you could "load them with up with five or more....one right behind the other.

That's it. Starting with small goals and working toward larger. Just writing this as encouragement to you. You can do it! And you'll FEEL better. For me, gone are headaches, fogginess, sleeplessness, various body aches, etc. I'm feeling more confident and healthy. You are going to feel SO MUCH BETTER taking care of the temple God's given you! I'm excited and thrilled for you. I think for most of us, smaller or larger, maintaining good health and "fitness" is a constant battle. Like dusting and vaccuuming, it's just not what calls my name first thing in the morning, but walking is good prayer time, I've found too. Praying for God's blessing your goals and rewarding you beyond expectation!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262879922296822557.post-4684397183472385612013-05-14T07:10:43.973-07:002013-05-14T07:10:43.973-07:00Praying for you sis.Praying for you sis.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07625517057249350111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262879922296822557.post-92090544677417779942013-05-12T21:22:27.430-07:002013-05-12T21:22:27.430-07:00Sarah missed that night, but she got to try it the...Sarah missed that night, but she got to try it the next night.

Did they have any chicken on the menu? hahahahaha I can't imagine Alpheus eating 8 platefuls! I did have some King crab legs that I enjoyed one time years ago! :) So glad you are getting all these pics and events recorded. I was hoping to see some from Kitty Hawk. Dad, Edie and I went there one year. We didn't get photos! :( We also visited several lighthouses but no aquariums.

Worship service went well at ABC, but the weather here has slid to cold and overcast. Still, good amount of people and there were some visitors as well. I had to work and couldn't introduce myself (we ran a little later, so I had to go right away) but Lorilyn met them. I have heard John McArthur's sermon on being a slave to Christ before, and it is very, very convicting. Americans in this day and time have a hard time with the true concept of such a thing - I pray that we all will not only understand but will be drawn to follow the Lord in such a way...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262879922296822557.post-54252839963889483062013-05-05T14:54:13.226-07:002013-05-05T14:54:13.226-07:00Enjoyed day one blog!
