HappY AnNiVeRsaRy & HaPPy neW YeAr!!

Hello everyone..in 1 hour Utah time at 4pm to be precise we will have been officially married for 26 years...this photo above was taken 2 days before we got hitched back in 1985!! I was almost 22 and Mike was just 25..we went to the justice of the peace to be married and then called our parents to let them know what was going on..my mom thought it was an April fool's joke and his mom was indifferent..we then had a church wedding with family on January 18th 1986..so new years eve is generally spent with friends (most of the time) and January 18th is spent by ourselves..so its kind of nice to have 2 anniversaries..;) we went for a nice walk today..the weather is beautiful..and tonight we are going to our good pals the Hogans and another couple and their kids are coming..having finger food..I am making jalepeno poppers with cream cheese and bacon..and a chex mix that is sweet..gotta go and get a bag of m&ms to do it..so because there is finger food..we are eating salads to fill us up..so we don't dip into all the finger foods..I have lost that 1/2 a pound..so my total is 74 pounds...I went clothes shopping yesterday with christmas money..and I found the cutest coat..and jeans and jammies and sweats..oh my..had a great time..took photos..will share another day..:)
these are the new do photos I promised you..its hard to tell that I have it asymetrical on one side.I didn't want it too noticable..

you can see its shorter on this side not the length so much but the bulk isn't there..so that is it for me..I got a wonderful award from Mumsy and the furkids..its the liebster award...thank you again Mumsy..that was so sweet..I love reading about her furries..well I hope you all have a most wonderful new years tonight and bring in the new year with a "bang"..be safe and see you all next year..(you know that saying never gets old)...lol..:)HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

  1. Gina, your new do is adorable. It suits you! How exciting about the
    new clothes. I'm looking forward to
    that in about 6 months when I drop
    some of this weight. I don't know
    how you did it so successfully, but
    whatever it was it worked! You must be so proud. Congratulations on your
    anniversary!
    What's a liebster award? I've never heard of it.
    I'm so happy that I got to know you this year. Here's to another year of blogging and chatting.
    You have a wonderful time tonight.
    I'll be asleep when you're blowing noisemakers!
    Happy New Year,
    Susan

  21. Happy Anniversary and congrats on the weight loss. That is a wonderful accomplishment and you deserve a new wardrobe and hairstyle. I like it a lot--looks hip and sassy. Mmmm, those jalapeno poppers sound pretty yummy! Happy New Year to you and the fam, including the furries. ~Roberta

    Speaking of new you's, I'm heading back to the Y today. Don't freak out... I'm just going to walk the track... slow. Walking is on my heal list... and there isn't really anywhere to walk here so off to the Y I go. I think it's good anyway... to keep in the habit even until I can get back to sweating it off. :)
