Bikini Body Adventure

Wes and I have finally planned our vacation to go to Panama City Beach, Florida. We are so excited we can barely function with our day-to-day activities. We frequently remind eachother of how many days are left until we hit the road; in fact, yesterday hit the month mark. Neither one of us have ever been to Florida, so this is truely an adventure for us. We plan to take road trip and follow the coast for a portion of the trip. When we get there we just want to relax and enjoy the view. We are staying in a resort that has private boat rides out to shell island, beach volleyball, and many other exciting activities.
....................................................................................................
There is one problem, however, with the whole vacation: I have to get into a swimming suit. So, I am determined to whip my body in shape so I can confidently take the step out onto the beach and not feel like everyone is looking at my love handles. Wes and I have started swimming laps every other day, and man is that a fun, but hard work-out. We have also committed to eachother to go to the gym more regularly to expedite the weight loss and body toning, and last to improve our eating habits. We aren't the worst eaters, but there are definately areas for improvement. I am 100% committed to this transformation, and will let you know how it goes and if I meet my goals by the time I leave.

We Love Summer!

Wow, it has been such a long time since we added a new post to our blog! I have a hard time coming up with things to talk about. This summer has been wonderful with tons of family coming to visit, swimming, and spending time together. We have learned more about Fort Worth from viewing the attractions with family then we knew before they came to visit.

This was the first time for me to see a longhorn close up. They are such interesting animals, they walk funny because their horns are so heavy.

Here are the boys playing with Jeff and Jo's kids in the Stockyards. Isn't Wes super cute:)

We have really enjoyed swimming in our community pool, I am impressed with how nice it is. It has a lot of places for little kids to play in! Wes and I have started going there in the evenings to work out. I am not a good swimmer, it about kills me to swim laps.

We have loved spending time together. With my new job I set my own hours; many days I am off by 4 so we can spend more time together in the evenings. This picture was at Joe's Crab Shack on my birthday. We love their crab legs.

I recently cut all my hair off, but I don't have a picture of it yet. I will try to get one posted soon. I know we have been horrible bloggers, and will try really hard to be consistant and post more often.
