ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have made it ONE YEAR without drinking Diet Coke. Do you know how amazing that is?!?!?

As a matter of fact, I haven't had any fake sugar (to my knowledge) for a year.

Do you know how many foods and drinks have fake sugar in them? A lot. I've had to read a lot of labels, and at the end of the day, it's meant I don't eat any reduced fat/diet/fat free foods anymore.

Today also marks one year (and one week) of not measuring or weighing any of food or calculating any calories.

I know it seems silly, but these are big changes for me, and I'm really proud that I made it the entire year. Also.... it was so hard (I STILL want a Diet Coke), there's no way I'm turning back now.

Good job Babs!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm baaaaaaaack!

WOW! I abandoned the ol' blog for a REALLY long time, but cut me some slack.... I was pretty busy getting maaaaaaaarried.

Seriously. It took a ton of work, and I could not have done it without my parents help - they flew out two weeks before the big day and worked pretty much 24/7. It was all worth it though. Our wedding was about as perfect (in my opinion) as it could have been. As much as I'd like to share a thousand pictures with you now, I'm running short of time, so....

Instead I will simply address the two people who asked about the blog's status.

Mom - Tada!!!!!

Rebecca - YOUR BIRTHDAY WISH HAS COME TRUE!!!!!

* Today is Rebecca's 30th birthday and she asked for the return of the blog. *

So with that....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY REBECCA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stay tuned for more. :-)
