Weight and See

I just wanted to share some good news...after a few rough weeks, I have finally lost 12 pounds! It has been a long 9 weeks trying to lose it, but finally it is beginning to pay off. My goal is 20...so I've got 8 more to go and I'm very hopeful that I can do it in 6 more weeks. I love weight watchers, but it has been frustrating at times to follow it perfectly and to get no results. All I want is to get back to pre-marriage Mandi...is that too much to ask? :)

Another bit of great news: Bryce and I will be heading to Europe on May 30 and will be there until June 16. We are so excited! This is something that both of us have been dying to do together and we decided to take the plunge (no kidding, Bryce about had a heart attack when we bought the tickets). But, we cannot wait to see his mission and to visit old friends. We will be visiting London, Barcelona, Cannes, Florence, Pisa, Rome, Paris, Marseilles, Manchester, Preston, Bath, and hopefully Amsterdam. If anyone has any great advice for cheap travel--please let us know, we are definitely an open book. We were hoping to get over to Romania to see my dear friend Elisa and my sweet orphans and street boys, but the price was not right and it takes so much time to get to Iasi that we had to decide against it. It was hard, but I know that someday we will get back there! Well, that's all! Peace out!
