Biggest Loser Million Pound Matchup Reunion in 2009!! HERE WE COME:)

Wow, it has been a REALLY LONG TIME since I have been on here. Life just gets so busy sometimes. I hope all is well with everyone, both David and I gained back everything we lost, it really sucks but we are determined to start over and get back at it. Glad to be back.

Dave and Patty

We haven't blogged in awhile, but we are here. This summer has been a busy one for both of us, lots of family events and my continuing ed and such, but things are looking good for both of us. We have been excersising, but I must say its been harder this summer to get in our workouts. We have only been able to workout a couple times a week. Just last night David said to me he loves the summer, but is happy that we are at the end of it so we can really focus again. We have not gained any weight in a month, so that is good, but we have only lost a little. We intend on updating our site with our new weight and such,it is just hard finding the time to do so. We are getting ready to go on vacation beginning this Friday, we are going camping for a week. It will be a great time! So after we are back we will get things updated. Hope this finds everyone well and healthy. Take care

Some of you know this but for those that don't I just got done working the entire week of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. I took a week off from work, and took my chair there and massaged bikers neck,sholders,back and hands.The money raised went to the local boys and girls club for a new game system they are wanting. It was a busy busy week, I am not quite sure what the total of bikes registered were but I think it was close to 75,000.  I really didn't do to bad with what I ate this week, but my excersise was down. I was not able to go swimming at all, and I am really feeling it. But tomorrow is almost here and a new week begins and we will get back to our normal schedule. Hope everyone is having a healthy happy week!

Well my last blog I was able to talk about how fun going to Texas was this weeks seems pretty boring to write about. It has been a good week though. Dave and I have been very busy, we are having a 60th birthday party at our home this weekend, and we wanted to make sure some last minute projects were done like finishing up the second restroom and sheetrocking the laundry and finishing it. We are almost there, I painted like crazy last night and just a few touch ups today then its all ready to use! While its been a crazy week for us we have still maintained to eat resonably healthy. I would of wished to get more excersise in this week, but thats how it goes. Only got to go swimming 3 times. But I think the scale will be good to us next Tuesday. We skipped weigh in this week, since we had some time that we neither one really ate real healthy we thought we would give it a week. Hope all is well with everyone out there and that you all are having a happy healthy summer!

 I am a massage therapist, and I needed to get my CEU's done and I thought to myself, why not do them somewhere that I can do some fun things when I am not in class, and I thought to myself wouldn't it be fun to meet someone who participated in the BLMPM at the same time. So I asked Carla if there were places down there in Houston that had classes to recieve my CEU's, she checked into it and told me yes, to google Houston area and I would find some. Well, I did that and sure enough I found several, but what I really wanted to learn was Hot Stone therapy so I centralized my search for that. Well low and behold there was a school in Kingwood that has just that class, and it was about 10 minutes from Carla's home. How perfect is that right? Now there were only a few times that would allow my schedule to get away from work and life here to go, and ironically the class was offered during one of those times! So I signed up and planned my trip.

I flew into Houston on Wednesday, July 9th and Carla picked me up. Let me say this ...I felt the connection between us when she walked into the baggage area where I was waiting. I knew that I was going to have an exciting time while I was there, I could feel it. I won't go into detail about every little thing we did, because I need to get into my suit and go hit the pool, but I do want to say to everyone reading this what a WONDERFUL person Carla Morton is!

She is kind,generous,family oriented,lovable,genuine,caring,thoughtful,spunky,intelligent,and I could go on and on with this list, but ultimately she is my friend for LIFE! I stayed at Carla's home, I went to her mother and sisters home, so I seen her interact with her family in day to day activities. I didn't just see her a few minutes here and a few minutes there, no we were together the entire time, until I flew home yesterday. And I got to say I wouldn't of changed one single minute of my trip if I could do it all over again. I feel I got to see the real Carla, and I will always look back and remember how she along with her family made me feel so at home with them. They took me around to so many places I have never seen before, it was incredible. This was my first trip ever to Texas and they gave me a big Texas welcome. That I will always always remember as a great experience! I will be going back there someday!! I will get some pictures on here soon, I have to go develop them today, after seeing what Carla can do with her camera, I will be getting a digital someday too. I do have some pictures on my myspace page    myspace.com/purplerose3

I do have to get more on there and update the look of my page.But there are a few on there now.

I just wanted to say Thank you to Carla and her family for showing me such a wonderful time! And if there are any of you that are reading this blog that haven't signed up for the cruise we are going on in April and that we have advertised on our site, I would say to you, you really should sign up. It is going to be such a wonderful time, meeting everyone! And Carla and CIndy are on the ones that first thought of doing this reunion, and I just know after I spent time with her in Texas that this cruise is going to be fun as well. I said earlier in my blog that I wouldn't change anything about my time with Carla, I need to change that because there is one thing I would change. I met alot of Carla's friends while there, and they were all great! But one thing I didn't get to do was meet Cindy...with the short time I was there between her schedule and ours we weren't able to connect. But that wasn't anyones fault that we didn't connect in Houston, it just couldn't be helped. I do look forward to meeting her when we set sail!
