Here is a couple photos Jessie took of me on Sunday in between church services when Rich called us . He wanted
another photo of me. and well this is what he got . As of Saturday this past week I lost 4.5 lbs so that brings me to 31 lbs lost so far .. YAHOO Praise God !!
Great news from Todd P.T yesterday My knee has reached 0 in the extension Praise God so this Fabulous news means
NO more torcher machine / Leg EX-Ten machine ( remember that thingy .. OUCHIE!! ) .. I was soo happy I cried again ..YUP, But happy tears of course..
Ok I seen one of my blogger friends Abra Leah wanted to see photos of me when I roller skated many moons ago .. OH my your really asking alot to have these posted on the WWW wink! wink!... One thing I would proudly like to add before we take a look at the photos ... is that My wonderful Mom made each and every one of my skating outfits . Yes even my Dance partner ( Alex ) tux for competition ( see photo below ) .. Yes I also took Dance for a while But My 1st love was Figure skating .. I dug through my photos and these are the 3 I am willing to post Hee! Hee! Don't laugh to hard girls .. Oh to be skinny like that again ..
Good Morning!
You're right! Rich is very handsome! That's awesome that his friend would do his haircut for free. Great pic of you in your skates!! AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME job on your weightloss! Keep it up!

Congrats on losing 31 lbs!!! woohoo
Okay, now this is really quite funny, I thought I was the only one still alive that did figure roller skating!! HA...I took lessons from 4th grade to 8th grade, and my mom made my goofy skating costumes BUT I had boot covers that matched! I even broke my ankle roller skating in the driveway one Saturday morning. AAHHH memories

ok, ok, now that i've stopped laughing, jk!
what a great accomplishment back then in 1983! i never would have believed you since you've gone thru both knee replacement surgeries. If I didn't know better, I almost thought you used one of those photoshops.
Richard looks great and I bet he'll look so much more handsome in person, which is in 42 days! Yipee!
Your mom is so talented making those professional looking costumes!
So since you've lost all this weight, I bet you can't wait to get a new wardrobe for the new you.

Rich's haircut looks great! They sure know how to make do with what they have over there, don't they?
You're lookin' great girl!! Congrats on the weight loss!!
Gosh....I would have loved to be a skater like yourself, when I was younger!! I was more into ice skating, though. Now I enjoy inline skating. You look so cute in those pictures! Thanks for sharing them. ;)

Applause, applause, applause! I used to twirl a baton and your photos bring back many fond memories. Can you feel my smile? TFS, girl!
Have you checked Desert Flier's blog? They have a little hedgehog friend now. I didn't know they had those in Iraq.
