HI BUDDIES

hello everyone, i think i sent most of you the link to you tube, we posted video of raum, you can find it if you type in raumulas on the you tube link, check it out! Jeanie im so happy for you thats just awesome, good things happen to good people! Brandy lets see some pics, im sure you look amazing,bad ass!  i love you all, got to run, headed to work, its 50f. and sunny, a beautiful day in the sierras, D

OK MOM, Here's your picture

But no skin from this German Catholic Republican. (wink wink)

Little Kids that happen to be my friends

I have the 2 best girls in the world. Check out Ashly's slick ride that her aunties got her for her b-day. Looks like it's a winner. Jeanie - congrats on your scholarship - i'm so proud of you - God always gives back to those who give with no expectations - that simple. Shani - I shaved my legs EVERY day when I was pregnant - including after my water broke/before going to the hospital. So my big project lately is the promotion that Hydroxycut has going - they are giving away $100,000.00 to the person with the biggest body transformation - so far i've lost 7.5 pounds and am down to 156 - the least i've been in years - and every time I pass a cookie I say to myself. 100 thousand dollar cookie - pass it up. Also, went and auditioned for Survivor again - met Eric from the Fans vs. Faves cycle - got his autograph for Mom - sorry Aunt Eva - should've gotten one for you too. We are doing pretty good here, but looking forward to doing my runs in a bit warmer weather (Sunday's 8 mile 3 degree run tried my constitution for sure) I love everyone and hope to see you soon.

Can someone help me tie my shoes?

Hi all, 

Jeanie thats awesome.  I'm super proud of you.  

These pictures are from new years in SLC and just another pretty sunset.  The baby is doing good and I have about another month to go.  I had an epiphany last night at 3a.m. The last few weeks of being pregnant have to be super miserable so youre willing to give childbirth a try just to be done with it.  Anyway, I miss everyone and will be in touch. Love, Shani

Flory Family Update

Hello,

Just wanted to let you all know that we all survived the holidays. All was well with Christmas and the New Year. Of course the kids got what they wanted and Mommy/Aunt J got what she wanted, some piece and quite (thanks mom!). We started back to work and back to school, of course it took some time to get back into the swing of things. I am glad to be back and work and the kids back in school. Don't know if I told you all or not, but I got a promotion at work. YA ME! after 8 years of heard work they finally promoted me. LOL.

Glad to see everyone is posting. It's great to be able to keep all updated on the crazy lives that we have. Glad to finally see Darby, Joey and kids. Welcome to the crazy family Darby, hope to get to meet you one day. Hey Brand I voted for you on the PB&J website. Way to go loved the video.

Just got some great news today as I was driving home from work. I am sure you all know that I recently finished my Associates Degree and was really thinking about going on for my Bachlors, but I kept him hawing about it. After all the stress and the missed things with the kids I was done, or so I thought. Well anyway, as I was saying I was driving home when the phone rang and I thought "Oh its the kids again, wondering when I was going to be to pick them up". No in fact it was Spring Arbor University calling ( I had applied to go a while ago and had to wait until I was done at NCMC with my degree to start there) they called to inform me that I won the scholarship for full tution, books and fees. This is a $20,000 scholarship. I couldn't believe it. I still can't believe it as I sit here and type. I am so excited. This scholarship is awarded to only 6 people in Michigan. So I guess now I am going to finish my schooling....LOL I don't start until March so I have some time to get things organized. Poor mom, she is going to have to help out with the kids again...sorry mom. So anyway I had to share the great news with everyone. Thanks for listening to me....LOL

Hope all is well with everyone. Take care and we will post updates again soon.
Love and misses to you

Happy New Year!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a very Mery Christmas, and Happy New Year. Just thought we would say hello and post a few pictures!

Angry North Meets the Dirty South

Happy New Year everybody! I hope all goes well for you in 2009. My current motto is: fitter, happier, more productive.

Here are some pics from my holiday in Michigan. I missed all of you. I hope to get out West to see all of you soon.

Sniffing Cognac is a bad idea:

I thought it might be fun to finish the hurricane punch:

Looks like I spilled some:
