Grab a kleenex for The Biggest Loser...

Jeff and I have always been addicted to this show since it started!  As I mentioned in a post before we enjoy watching BL while eating ice cream and other naughty treats!  (When really I should be in the gym pretending to have Jillian yell at me to do more...) I did start running a couple of weeks ago though!! 

This specific cast for some reason are really pulling at my heart strings and I find it to be a HUGE tear jerker...I'm such a baby!! :'(  Dan is the heaviest contestant they have had on the show and when I hear his stories or watch him work out I start crying!!!  Here is a BEFORE pic of him: 

He is a pretty big boy and I just feel for him. I told Jeff that I just want to be his friend!!  It makes me sad that he holds back in life because of his weight.  I've always been the type of person that can easily see the full potential of someone else, and I love digging it out of someone and he definitely has some!  The episode that really got to me was when they team had a challenge where they had to row across a lake and then hike this big ol' mountain to the finish line. Of course Dan found himself in last place, but this his teammate Tara who took first place and I'm sure was extremely tired went back down to encourage him to finish, and that's when my sprinklers went off!!  Kudos to Tara for doing such a nice act of kindness!

For those of you who are faithful watchers I'm sure you will agree that Joelle is OUT OF CONTROL!!!  Really...you are going to make everyone else run on the tread mill longer just cause you gave up to quick?!?!?  Just looking in her eyes you can see something crazy!!!  How is she not voted off yet?  She did loose 10 pounds this week though. 

BL is about changing lives, and although Dan got booted off this week I pulled up his AFTER pic and he was still able to drop 100 pounds!!  I can totally see a difference!  Good for him!  Now he just needs to find himself a cute girlfriend!! 

Sorry, but I will remain faithful to my junky realty TV shows...they can be such a waste of time!  Please tell me that some of you cry too when you watch this show!!  

Cinderella, Mr. Incredible Buzz and Shamu!!

We had our 1 year anniversary on Dec. 14th and we were so excited to reach this special landmark! We planned a trip to see our friends Cinderella, Minnie & Mickey, Mr. Incredible, Buzz, Sully and a bunch of others at Disneyland!!

We got a package deal and were able to stay at the Best Western right down the street from Disneyland. Here are some friends we met while hanging out at the Magic Kingdom! :)

Disneyland is so beautiful during the holidays cause it's all decorated for Christmas! They sure do know how to spread the Christmas cheer!!

Jeff loves the Buzz light year ride cause it's kinda like a video game where you get to shoot at targets, and of course he always gets the highest score!

It was soooooooo cold in California! Everyday we were bundled up in our coats, scarfs, and warm shoes. I'm mainly just a flip flop girl and never really wear tennis shoes so when I had to wear them all day my feet really hurt! So, yes this is a picture of me rubbing my own foot and Jeff was laughing. Believe it or not, but the next day I decided that I would try flip flops all day long...bad idea! There is no support at all in those things and my foot hurt for weeks afterward and I walked with a limp.

Ha ha...this picture is funny cause we went and got some ice cream and Jeff went off to take some pics and he caught me in action stealing some of his...I just wanted to try it!!

Ewwwwwwwwww gross...look what we found....

I want to live in this Princess Castle and just wake up and wear pretty dresses all day...anyone want to come with? Did you know that there is actually a room where visitors can stay? Not fair, I want to go!

On the last day we were at Disneyland we decided to walk back to our hotel room cause the shuttle was taking to long, so this girl stops us and asked if we wanted to go and listen to this time share presentation. At first we were really hesitant and shrugged it off and just wanted to go and rest and then all she had to do was mention FREE GIFT CARDS and then of course it peaked our interest a bit more. We thought about it and then finally decided to tell her no cause she was only going to give us $75.00 to Best Buy. We started walking back and then my husband said, "Let's ask her for double and I bet she will give in cause she seemed pretty desperate." With her being a salesperson of course she got paid off of how many people she sent to the hotel to listen to the lecture. We were so tired, but walked back and gave her our offer and she couldn't resist...so here is what we ended up with: $75 to Macy's and $75 to Best Buy...not bad eh??


The last place we went to before we went home was Sea World! Going to these places during the holidays = less time waiting in line for the rides too! They had flamingos just walking everywhere.

The first show that we saw was the dolphin one, and at that point I decided that I wanted a dolphin as a pet, so I told Jeff we needed a large swimming pool asap!

Then we saw the famous...SHAMU! He performed well as always and despite how cold it was outside people still sat in the SOAK ZONE!! Not us though...we stayed way back!

Then here are some other random pics from the trip!

Jeff, I love you and there is no one else that I would want to spend eternity with. You make it easy to find joy in the journey babe! I know it will only get better with you by my side! :) xoxxoxo
