Counting Our Blessings

Yesterday we had a "Last Day of School" celebration for Kevin. He took his last final yesterday afternoon! His graduation is tomorrow and I am so proud of my hubby. He's worked harder than hard to earn his degree. He did not do well in school as a boy and he even had a high school math teacher who wrote him off as a "lost cause". Kevin has taken over 13 math courses in his college career - including, but not limited to: calculus 1 &2, linear algebra and differential equations, and multivariable calculus! He also found out that his senior electrical engineering project was a finalist in the school's design competition!

Kevin and I have also been on a wellness journey this past semester. We decided to get with it and start exercising a whole lot more and eating healthy choices. Kevin has reached his weight loss goal this semester... He has lost exactly 40 lbs.! I have lost 28 lbs. We feel great and we are both training to do a sprint triathlon this summer. Here are some before and after photos...

One of my "bed rest buddies" that I met while on bed rest after my water broke is in need of prayers this weekend. One of her twin baby girls is a heart baby and has an important echocardiogram coming up next week. The results will determine if she is well enough to be a candidate for a life-saving surgery she needs. Please visit her blog at: http://splatninjamom.blogspot.com/.
