Happy Anniversary!


Today is our 6 Year Anniversary! I can't believe it has gone by so fast.

This morning Tyler made us watch the video that was played at our wedding...aww, memories. It was still just as embarrassing to watch our "interview" video, but maybe 50 years from now I will be glad it is on there. We went out to lunch by ourselves. It was so hard to leave the kids crying at the door. When we lived in Henderson, we would just take them everywhere with us. Anyway, when we got home my mom said "Aren't you glad you got married 6 years ago and not today?" Today would have been a horrible day for a wedding...it is rain/hail/snowing, windy, and FREEZING!

These past six years have been full of mostly awesome experiences, and I am so glad we have been able to experience them together. We have moved 4 times, made some great real estate decisions, had two of the cutest kids ever, lost 3 grandparents, bought a business, lost a business, remodeled 2 homes, gained some weight, lost some weight, been pretty healthy, and had a lot of good times. I can't wait to see what the next 6 years brings!

Happy Anniversary, Dear....I love you so much!

Weight Loss Results

Sorry it has taken so long for us to post the results of Tyler's HCG diet.

When Tyler and I first started dating he weighed 165ish....way too skinny for someone who is 6' 2" in my opinion. The weight gain was partly my fault, I cook too much I guess. And being Mexican, I just grew up loading the plates until they were nearly over flowing. Anyway over the past 6 years he got up to 210 lbs at his heaviest. That is where he was when he decided to go on the HCG diet.

We are really proud of him. It took some serious will power to not eat what we would be eating. I felt so bad every time we would have something like pizza and he would have his huge salad with no dressing and 100 grams of meat - which is basically nothing. It was hectic measuring his portions, and preparing a million different things for dinner, but it was worth it. Tyler never complained about being hungry, but I know it was hard at first.

He has been off the diet for almost a month and has been stable right around 183 lbs...which means he lost 27 lbs!!!! Woo Hoo! And now for some pictures.
