I've been MIA

Just wanted to let my loyal blog stalkers know that I've been down with a migraine for the last two days which is why I've been missing from the blogworld. I'm so bummed because I missed an appointment with Antonio yesterday. I was on a roll! Was going to see him 3 days in a row but obviously I couldn't make it. Ugh!

Part of the reason that I want to lose weight is to reduce the intensity and frequency of my migraines. I've had them since I was about 5 years old so it's something I've dealt with for quite some time. Since I've been getting more and more unhealthy in the past 2-3 years, they have increased immensely. At this point, they're partly hormonal and partly unhealthy living induced. I figure I can control whether or not I'm healthy so I should at least do that. It's hard to deal with but I've been dealing with it for over 20 years so I'm used to it.

In a way, I'm kind of glad I'm sick now and not next week or after that. I've got too much to look forward to. Next Thursday is an awesome wedding show/charity event, Get Hitched Give Hope at the Arctic Club Hotel. It's an amazing event that raises money for Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation, which is a lot like Make a Wish for adults. After that is Halloween!! Matt and Amber are having a ginormous party at their house in Yakima. I've got my costume and Bella has her's...Anthony needs his but he already knows what he's going to be: Billy Mays!! It'll be perfect! Once Halloween is over, the countdown to November 17th starts. Anthony and I are going to Maui (again!!!) with our friends Adam and Jenny and their amazing baby, Ethan. Our friend Will is going to join us for the first week. Anthony's parents will be there too. Can't wait!! I don't know how I got this life...I'm beyond lucky.

This is a picture of my favorite baby, Ethan. Can't wait to spend almost 3 weeks with him in paradise!! Love you Beefy!
