Happy Fall!!

Well, here I am again after a 5 month hiatus. Where has the time gone??

Just to update on my weight loss journey: yes I am still sticking to the plan, and yes I am still losing. As of today, I am officially down 107 pounds! I have made some major milestones since my last post. I hit 72 pounds on my birthday in May (happy birthday to me!!), made 92 in early August, and hit the big 101 in early September. Joe is still plugging along at 55 pounds as of today. He is struggling a bit, but I know he will be back on track in no time.

Since the last post, we have taken another trip back up to the North Shore and Duluth. Split Rock Lighthouse is celebrating its 100th birthday this year, and since May, they have been lighting the beacon to mark this occasion. Normally it is lit only in November to mark the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, so it was exciting to get to see it on our trip in September. We made a few other stops as well, and got some great pictures. Check out the link for Split Rock at http://www.mnhs.org/places/sites/srl/index.htm

I have recently started a part time job again at a local furniture store. I left this job just about 8 years ago, and it was soooo worth it at the time, as I met Joe a few weeks later. It is nice to be back again, working with some old friends.

I have to run. I promise to be better at the posts.

Until next time
