Crazy Days!

We're having Crazy Days here in Warren today. Emma and I went to man the tables at the Coffeeshop to help out. It was kind of fun to see alot of ladies, and to enjoy a little bit of the morning sun. It was a little too hot by the time 11am came along, but that was okay because we were done working by then. She paid me 20bucks for my time so I think that was worth it. :)
Went to the farm again last weekend, they had their fair so we made it there by 8pm, I had to wait for Ryan who had to drive to Minot for the day. Needless to say he was exhausted by the time he got home, but we still went. My new Sis-in-law, Jessica and bro-in-law were in Roseau for his 10 year reunion and we threw them a pie reception at the same time, so that was nice. It was fun to be with family, their family has pretty much doubled in the past 4 years. Only 1 sister left to be married out of 7, she's not seeing anyone right now but their is a possibilty so we are praying with her about it.
I started weight watchers a few weeks ago, and I hate it but I'm trying really hard so I can look a little better when we take our trip this coming Christmas. Anyone have any good ideas of where to go? We looked into Hawaii but I don't think we can afford that one. We've also looked into SanDiego, anyone been there?? If you have any suggestions we are looking for anywhere with a beach - and Rhonda I don't think we can make it to Madegascar :) (would love to come a say hello though) Anyway about weight watchers I have really enjoyed meeting other community women and like I said I have only started a few weeks ago, and I lost 4 pounds when I weighed in on Monday. I think that is a pretty good start, i'm not going to complain I wish it was more loss, but that's pretty good with 2 fairs, a trip to Fargo, and a pie social. i hope I can lose more in a couple weeks. If you're wondering its kind of like 3D minus the devotions and praying, but Laura Mast and I have committed to praying for each other, I think that is why I'm doing so well.
WEll I have to cut this off Emma just woke up from her nap, she's probably hungry. Love to hear from anyone. HI Robbie, and RHonda, Jenni, and Rachel, maybe Iris too, don't know . TTYL, Mel

Yep, I was here....peeking in on you.=) Great going with the weight loss! I'm at it too. It feels different to be losing knowing I won't be having anymore babies. I'm determined this will be the last time I have to lose weight!!! I hate it! =) BTW you really should allow anonymous or others to comment. (It's a setting change needed) Just so you get more comments from people who aren't bloggers themselves.

Hey Melissa
Sounds like you're enjoying summer. How 'bout Winnipeg for a vacation? Cheap hotels you know.

Hi! Are you sure you can't make it to Madagascar? Just kidding...it really is quite expensive to get here. Too bad.

I'm impressed with 4 lbs off already! Well done!
