Flowers Bloom

Okay it's official I have the BEST husband ever. Around 3:00pm today the secretary called me (our offices are right next to eachother)to come to the front as I walked out of my office I saw a beautiful bouquet of flowers. They said that it was for me and at first I didn't think they were telling the truth, but I checked the card and it said "Happy Mother's Day - Love Trevor". Isn't that just the sweetest thing ever??? He still is in Afghanistan...well actually he left Afghanistan a few hours ago and is off to Dubai for 2 nights and then to London, so he will not be here on Mother's Day. I just think that is so thoughtful to send me something while he is out of town.

So, do any of you watch the Biggest Loser? LOVED yesterdays episode. I tell you those people inspire me. They were on week 18 and one of the final 4 an eighteen year old has lost over 160 lbs already. His dad, who was well over 400 lbs at the beginning of the series has lost more than 140 lbs. So they had their final challenge of the season...to run a marathon. These are people that were morbidly obese 4 months ago. Whoever completed the marathon was given $10,000 to give to their charity of choice. The top runner was a 23 yr old girl who got a time of 4:55, 2nd place was and older lady with a time of 5:55, and then the 18 year old boy came in 3rd with a time of 8:55 (he injured is hip 3 days prior and had to walk the marathon). Finally the dad came in with a time of 13:55...I cried when he came in....he has the worst knees ever and at one point in the marathon he had to get medical attention and after his vital were checked they found that his blood pressure was super high (upper number was 200). He rested for a bit and continued on...Persistence....Persistence....Persistence....Wow!!! I really have learned a lot from these people...Amazing.
