First Blog



Well this is my first blog. Don't quite know what I will blog about, life, love, kids, weight loss, and knitting.



My three sons Bruce, Michael and Jason.



Bruce is the oldest and is now 21 years old. He is getting married in December 2008. Michael is the baby and is 16 years old. He is a junior in high school. Jason is the middle kid and is 19 years old, but will be 20 in October. He is getting married in July 2009.



This is my husband of 22 years, 23 on September 20th. His name is Robbie and he has been a great husband, friend, provider and father. I met him at work (he was the bosses son) and I was the secretary. We were both young and stupid. Started dating in December, moved in together in May and married that September. Both sets of parents were worried that we were rushing things, but we didn't listen. We have had our ups and downs, but through it all we are still going strong. That is what I hope for my sons as they set off in their new lives with two great girls.

As for knitting, it keeps me sane. If I didn't do something with my hands I would likely eat myself to an early grave. I have made a few pieces of clothing and have found that I really enjoy making things to wear. I especially enjoy knitting tank tops so that is what I am focusing on now. I am also in the process of making a hat for my step-dad and Hey Teach from Knitty. I am on ravelry as patsand and find that I spend too much time there.

I am a weight watcher person trying to get to lifetime again. I have so far lost 34.8 pounds and am almost to onederland. Can't wait 200.2 right now. Was sad that I didn't lose enough this week to get there, but I will get there and then I will be happy. My ultimate goal is to be 135 pounds, but my lifetime goal is 144.
