Picture of me! :)

[Beanie]

Today was my DD, Jamie's, graduation!! It was a great day, I cried a river and I was so incredibly proud of her!! She won a $750 scholarship from our local bank and she also won a $575 scholarship from the Dare To Be You program we have up here! She is going off to Colorado Mountain College in the fall to study to be a Vet Technician...I will miss her dearly while she is away!

Anyway, imagine my surprise, when they all gathered together at the end of graduation to sing their class song...Can you guess what it was?? "<b>Lean On Me</b>" was their song and of course, there went the tears again! I am not sure if I was crying over the fact that Jamie was graduating today or that I was thinking of all my WISH friends?? LOL I got through it though and I couldn't be more proud of her...She is a wonderful person and even though she is not my "blood", I have always thought of her and her sisters as my own children! I just love them all dearly!

Here is a picture of Jamie and myself after she graduated...

Beanie, you look fabulous!! you're eyes aren't even puffy looking LOL And what I noticed even more is your "tone" when posting this picture is so much more happier than when you started WISHing your way to a healthier lifestyle! Way to Go Beanie, I am so proud of you!

Congrats to Jamie! Would she like a 10 yr old girl pen pal?? LOL !! My daughter is addicted to animal planet and knows more about any animal than I would ever care too! She wants to be a vet when she grows up and I'm sure she'll do something in that field! Keep us posted on how her schooling goes!! and Best of Wishes to her!

Congratulations on your DD's graduation, Beanie. She is a beautiful girl, and with 2 scholarships, a smart one too. Good luck to her as she continues her studies.

Beanie you look wonderful! All your hard work (and getting healthy IS hard work, isn't it?) is really paying off!

 

[Beanie]

Thanks everyone for the wonderful compliments...If that isn't a motivator I don't know what is!

WOO-HOO!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations, Jamie!!!!! That is great news (graduating and winning all those spondoolas!)

And CONGRATULATIONS to you too, Beanie! WOW!!! You look FANTASTIC!!!! I can't get over what a difference there is between you NOW and your before photo. You must have lost a bunch of inches, because you look like you have lost more weight than your clippie indicates. WOW! You are so beautiful!!! Pink teeth and all (hee hee, I know they aren't really pink, but how could I resist!) You know what, you even look healthier too. Your skin looks great and your face just looks so healthy!!!

Keep up the great work! You are disappearing before our very eyes!!!
