Today is Ahren's 32nd birthday! How I love my man. He is so good to me. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect person for me-that's how I know he was chosen for me by God. We bought him grilling tools-Ahren is great at grilling. Everything he makes tastes soooo good. I try to grill and nothing turns out right! Ahren has it down to a science! He did bbq chicken tonight and as usual it was "finger-lickin'" good!
Ahren, thank you for your commitment to me and our children. I love you so much! You're a great Dad and our kids love, adore and respect you. Happy Birthday!
This blog is about things that interest me. I enjoy writing so we'll see where this goes.

Spinach Artichoke Dip
This is my sister-in-laws recipe and WOW is it GOOD!!!! I don't like artichoke, but you'ld never know it was in this. Don't make this unless you're having lots of people over-you will want to eat it by spoonfuls :-) Absolutely delicious!
The following is approxomate because she didn't measure...
2 c. of cooked, chopped spinach
2 c. artichoke hearts - probably 1 can chopped
2 pkg. of Queso Blanco cheese or Monteray Jack cheese, grated or shredded
1 pkg. of shredded Parmesan cheese
1/2 finely chopped onion
4-6 heaping T. of mayo
enough milk to make it all creamy not liquidy
Bake in a oven safe dish at 360-370 degrees for 15 minutes or til cheeses melt.
P.S. Tweak to your liking!!

Father's Day
Heard such a good Father's Day message this morning. What a need we have today for real men and fathers who are willing to step up and be men. I'm thankful for my husband. He's a real man and a good man. I appreciate his acceptance of his responsibility. He's a good example for our children and as we heard today, a faithful father plays an invaluable part in the lives of his children.
Ahren, thank you for being faithful and true to your family. We love you and look up to you. Thank you for leading us in good paths and for following the Lord and being faithful to Him. We know that you aren't perfect but you're perfect for us!

Workout Update:
Okay, well so far I've done 30 mintues of aerobics! I've drunk 3 cups of water only 7 to go!! I HATE this, but I know it's the only way. I'm trying not to think of tomorrow :-) or the next day or that this is what I need to do forever! That actually turns into a nightmare!! :-}
This is what I want and I want the results enough to stick to it. Praise the Lord He is with me every second of my day!! With His help I will see results!

Since I last posted, my sister has been married!!! She married Jason Altland just about 4 months to the day they started writing!! Fast yes, but when you know, you know! Very happy for them both!!
Also, I want to say that I'm super proud of all my friends who have lost weight! You've done a great job and have put me to shame many times! I need to really commit and that's what I've not done. I want to see the same results but without the effort needed and it's just not going to happen that way. So, from this day on I'm commiting. I don't know how I'll do, but I want to join the club of happy, thinner people!! Keep up the great work!
