Family

Ashlynn is still awesome and a great baby and we all love her a lot. My sister had a little bit of a rough time and was in the hospital again for a little bit but she is home now and is doing much better now. My dad and Chrissy came for a visit to meet Miss Ashlynn. It was a short visit but it was good to see them and we had lots of fun. Here are some pics from their visit.

21 Year High School Reunion

Last weekend I went back to MD for my high school reunion. We didnt have a 15 or 20 year reunion so a few of us got together and planned a 21 year reunion. It was a blast! We had a really good turn out and everyone had lots of fun. We had a meet and greet happy hour on Fri night and dinner and DJ on Sat night. It was so good to see so many familiar faces and reconnect with old friends.

Here are a few pics from the weekend.

No reunion would be complete without some break dancing!


And some soul train line...

The party planners. I am going to miss talking with these folks every Tues night. Now what will I do on Tues nights? :(

She's Here!

Well she just couldnt wait...baby Ashlynn Joy Cone was born a week ago today! I of course was out of town and just had a feeling she would come while I was away. And I was right. She was born a whole month early but is perfect in every way. She is very petite but has long fingers and toes. She also has a little bit of hair too. I think she looks a lot like Michele did when she was a baby. Plus she has a little more hair than her daddy...hee hee hee

Here are a few pics...

Slacker Blogger

Yeah I am such a slacker lately with my blog...my apologies. I have been busy busy.

I co-hosted my sisters baby shower a couple weeks ago and then the week before last I stayed with her while her hubby was out of town and in between all that I have been planning my high school reunion that will be taking place this coming weekend.

So this Thurs I will be flying back to MD for my high school reunion and am excited to see my old friends that unfortunately I have not seen since our last reunion 10 yrs ago. Since some them didnt make that one, I will be getting to see some friends that I havent seen since high school. Crazy isnt it? Thank goodness for Facebook...it has allowed me to catch up with old friends both high school and just friends I lost touch with over the years.

Its hard to believe about a year ago some of us that reconnected on Facebook were talking about having a reunion but werent sure where to start and if it was even possible, now a year later we are actually having it! The hardest part has been finding people and raising money. We basically had to start from scratch. It will be great to see everyone and catch, I cant wait.

Speaking of weight (LOL)...I hit a little plataeu in June, went to get a fill/adjustment (its where they tighten the lap band) a couple weeks ago and am back on track.

Ok I think that just about catches everyone up on what I have been up to.

New Job!

I finally got a new job. Yay! It is a contract to perm postition with JP Morgan Chase in Lewisville. I will be a Business Analyst working in the home loans division. I used to work for Chase in the credit card division so now I will be learning a whole new part of the company. I start on Mon 6/8. So I have one more week before I start. I cant wait!

20lbs!!

Yay me! I have hit a small milestone of mine...I have lost 20lbs. Bye bye, dont want to see them again! This just made my day and I wanted to share it. :) Its the most I have lost in any previous weight loss attempts. Only 12 more pounds til I hit my next milestone.

Rangers in the Rain

This past weekend I met up with a few fellow FHS (Frederick High School) Alumni. We met up at the Rangers baseball game on Sat. The game was supposed to start at 3:05pm however it was delayed by the rain and didnt start until almost 4:30pm. We still had fun despite the rain and it did taper off as the game started. We played Wingo which is a form of bingo using baseball plays. It was sponsered by Hooters Wings hence the name Wingo. We had really good seats behind right field and they were cheap too! We went to Humperdinks afterwards to grab a bite to eat. Here are a few pics from the day.
