So in March of this year I had the lapband surgery..it was kinda a scary thing to do, but I just felt like it was right. It has really gone well...to date I have lost almost 70 pounds. I will never regret doing this. I have had no problems and I am learning to eat right and not feel deprived. It is great. I am so happy that I will have my weight off to start a family. Iguess I am just really blessed and I wanted to share it with all of you.

This are some pics of the last couple of weeks. Hector's son Rhett came out and spent a week with us. We had such a great time with him. He is such a good kid and was so much fun. We did all kinds of things and I think he had a great time too.

These are some picutes that we took since Katie has been here. We were just havign fun!!

My Crazy Husband

What can I say..he is crazy..these pics don't even do it justice..he gets so high sometimes. This is a jump he built in the back yard...he loves it.

Niagara Falls and Palmyra, New York

This past week we had our first anniversary so we decided to go away for Memorial weekend. We decided to go to Palmyra, NY and Niagara Falls. We rented a RV from the Base here and then we parked it in Plamyra. It was so much fun. I loved Palmyra, and I couldn't help trying to picture Joseph Smith and his family living there and everything tha took place. Hector and I really enjoyed ourselves and were so glad that we were able to go. One thing that I will never forget is the Sacred Grove. The feeling in there was so amazing. I am so grateful to be apart of this gospel, and with that I am so grateful that I found the most amazing person in the world. I love Hector so much, and while we have had our ups and downs this year has been the happiest.

The sacred grove...it was such an amazing place
