I hope you like the new background. I love the water and the beach. I choose this background as inspiration. In case you didn't know, Dan and I will celebrate our 25th wedding aniversary on December 23, 2008. A lot of people said we would never make it this long. To all of those people (you know who you are), looks like we proved you wrong. Anyway, we were going on a cruise but since we will have a new grandbaby by then we really didn't want to be gone that long. So we are going to compromise ( which is the secret to a happy and long marriage, along with laughter) and go to Mexico for a few days. We have started our diets and have done pretty good so far. Dan has lost 20lbs and I have lost 10lbs! I know it's not a lot but hey, you have to start somewhere right? The beach has always been my "happy place" so when I see this picture it will motivate me to stay on the diet and put a smile on my face !
