Texas Two-Step

Happy Mother's Day!

I am definitely not the only one in our household who has a weight loss goal. Rocky has a goal of 40 lbs but is not crazy enough to put a timetable on her quest. To date she has lost an amazing 23 lbs. and she is absolutely thrilled to have dropped 2 sizes! To her credit she always wanted to eat healthier and it was me who went kicking and screaming.

19 years!! WOW. I have to tell you that I definitely got lucky with regards to marrying the perfect person for me. She is the kindest and most generous person I know. I constantly get compliments from people about how great she is. I always say that I OVERMARRIED.....I outkicked my coverage.

As great of a wife as she is she is an even better mother. Zach is so lucky to have a mom like Rocky. She has read to him before bed EVERY day since Dec. 1997. Granted the reading these last few years has been shared between the two of them but there still is a few minutes each night where Zach can take comfort in the fact that his mother will be sharing that special time with him every night. Following the reading is a special song and a crazy saying that has become a nightly ritual. This saying is going to have to be recorded on his IPOD so he can listen to it when he goes off to college.

She is always there for Zach in every way. Whether it is creating the COOLEST special projects for school, pitching baseballs to him, catching footballs, shooting hoops, etc. Rocky and Zach LOVE the same programs on TV and are often heard giggling for hours on end. I love to listen to them sometimes.

Rocky is an amazing person and Zach and I truly are blessed.

Happy Mothers Day Rocky!!!
