Lately

It's time to update what's been going on lately...

1. Tom started a new job working for a company that is the 2nd largest producer of natural gas in the U.S. This company is also #32 on Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work For. Monday, June, 6th, was Tom's first day as a Title Landman at Chesapeake Energy Corporation. I'm so proud of him and excited that he received this opportunity!

2. Ruby got a summer 'do because her thick coat caused her to get so overheated on walks and such. Poor thing looks a bit ridiculous but she'll feel better in the hot summer heat.

3. My total weight loss is now up to 14lbs. Amazingly, after eating lots of desserts, hush puppies, fries, fried shrimp, and lots of yummy seafood - I did NOT gain any weight while we were on vacation. I attribute this to all the swimming in the ocean, walking on the beach, and walking/shopping at the outlet mall. :) I have slowly been incorporating some running into my workout routine. I'm proud to say that 3 days ago I pushed myself to run 1 whole mile straight...and I did it! Then the next day I pushed myself more and ran 1.5 miles straight - no stopping!! The pic below is my happy self right after running 1.5 miles.

4. We took a vacation to Destin, FL from May 28, 2011 to June 3, 2011. It was so much fun to spend a week at the beach with friends. I will post more vacation pics later.
