There's No Place Like Roam

A friend and I have decided to get our rears in gear and lose some weight. Neither one of us have lost our baby weight (well, actually we got pretty close and then gained it back) so we are getting serious. 20 pounds in 12 weeks is our goal.

I have been blessed beyond measure. I am aware of how fast things can change and try to savor those precious moments that go by so quickly. 3. Traveling. New places and old. Much of our traveling has been placed on hold due to having small children. However, Carter and Hunter are ready to go and I'm impressed with how much they remember upon returning. They were recently given some rest stop brochures from Grandma Jackie's trip to Missouri and have picked to head to Chattanooga (after the beach, of course). I'm ready to go! 4. Photographs.
