I can’t believe I forgot to post about my hubby’s bday last week! I feel so bad. So, I want you all to know that my dear, sweet hubby turned 21 (hee hee) last monday

But I feel like he gave me the birthday present.  He lost 75 lbs over the past 6 months or so. He is healthier than I’ve ever known him to be.  It’s wonderful to not have to struggle with worrying about his health.  I am so proud of him!

He’s the most wonderful hubby I could ever imagine having, and he just keeps getting better.  I love you Josh!

Very short, as I am only updating on Gabe and myself =)

A Lovaas Institute consultant came to my home last Wed - Fri and trained me and 3 other ladies on how to do Gabriel’s therapy. Lots of info! So, October 1st, we’ll start! Finally!

And my update, I have gallstones, and for a while they were saying that they wanted to take out my gallbladder, but now they want to wait until I have one more attack. That’ll be lots of fun if it happens =) So as of now, no surgery is planned.  I’m on a very low-fat diet, hoping that it’ll help prevent another attack. Also lots of fun =) Ok, that’s it for now!

My hubby is a genius. He and I are both trying to shed some extra pounds, and he came up with an excellent way to keep each other accountable.  He came up with a diet plan which we have affectionatly named the “I Love My Spouse Diet”.

 It’s simple…Anything I put into my mouth, I give my hubby permission to put into his mouth. And anything hubby puts into his mouth, he gives me permission to put into my mouth. Since I love my hubby and don’t want him to eat a Six Dollar Guacamole burger with bacon from Carl’s Jr, I cannot eat it (although they are insanely yummy!).  Since we both want to see each other lose weight, we must eat in a way that the other CAN lose weight. AND we must be honest with each other and not hide food! Brilliant. I’ll probably eat a can of green beans for lunch…hmm…yummy?
