I'm glad for the opportunity to get to know you, some of my best online friends have been made through MIn, :) I have been meaning to figure out how to add a subscription box to this blog, but for now, if you run Firefox, up in the http/URL box, you should see a small orange square at the far right, next to the black down arrow? If you double click it, a "subscribe to this feed" box will open up and you can add me that way! Thanks! Looking forward to seeing more of you! Do you have a blog too?

I'm always so happy to see you on "Min", but how can I get your posts delivered right to me? Good for you on the 15, wish I could find the energy to do the same.

Thanks for your comments on my last blog post. It is so heartbreaking. But we know a God who can heal, don’t we? In times like this I just rest in Him and pray that those hurting will do the same. As for the bluebird box, it’s just a very simple birdhouse. The main differences are that the hole is smaller, as to discourage larger birds from nesting in it; and the front opens up so that you can check in and count the eggs/see the baby birdies. Bluebirds will come back from year to year if they have a successful experience in your box. Here is a project guide to build one, or, we just bought ours at a craft shop and painted it: http://www.pawtographs.com/html/bird_house_plans.html or: www.gp.com/build/DocumentViewer.aspx?repository=bp&elementid=4457 also, check this website out if you are really interested: http://bluebirdia.homegrowngoodies.com/ Have a great day!

How nice of you to say so. I've always had a really healthy body image, and thankfully, my dh contributes to that by loving me just the way I am. But lately (the past two years) in pictures I've noticed that the lbs were adding on. I'm really feeling better cardiovascularly than I have in a long time. I was able to jog for almost a half mile the other day...to our mailbox and back alongside my girls riding their bikes! That felt great, no gasping for air, etc. If you were to see me, I don't know if it would be that noticeable...except my arms are really getting muscular and toned. I was most excited to purchase a pair of capris two sizes smaller than my norm, and they're now loose too! And all this time I thought I'd have a horrible time shedding the pounds. I thank God for every pound lost. It's truly amazing. I have to wear a belt now to keep my clothes on! Laura, I'm always thrilled to see you stop by! I hope you try the slush, it's easier than it sounds even, and makes a nice on-hand treat to serve family and friends on summer days. So citrus-y and refreshing, and when you split those 4 cups sugar up amidst all the servings you get out of a whole recipe, it's not that bad for you either! ;) Thanks for the kudos, btw!

Way to go on loosing 15 pounds I'm impressed. I told James that I really didn't know where you had 15 pounds hiding. I always thought you looked great.
