Hello Family....

Good Morning Everyone! Just got on to check my quilted bear numbers and saw 2 new posts. I love reading about what's going on in everyone's lives...it's a great way to keep in touch. I haven't posted in so long so I thought I'd give you an update.
Shawn is super busy. They gave him more stores to manage because of cutbacks. That stinks...but he did get Hawaii so that smells good!!!! I'm sure we'll be checking on that twice a year and he'll need his executive assistant (me) to help him do that.
I'm up to my ears in wax. I've been making tarts like crazy. I have people complaining that they want bears and candles....so I'm trying to catch up on those today. Tis the season.....I guess I can expect it. I'm glad you liked your tarts Michele. I know fall is your favorite. As of today I have lost a total of 80.2 pounds. Can you believe it? I've got 10 more to go and then I'll be at my goal weight. I thought 90 pounds sounded impossible when I started out and now I can see an end in sight. I guess it's like anything else that seems impossible. If we just tackle it one bite (no pun intended)at a time then it's manageable. I sure hate the weight thing....it's been such a struggle my whole life. Yuck!
Kayden (and Kyler) have their last football game today in Spanish Fork. Shawn is excited it's on a Monday so he can go. He's only been able to see 2 games because they are usually on Wednesday. It's raining outside so we'll hope for a little sun by the time the game starts today.
Makenzie is loving school. She "sugared" (a form of waxing) my eyebrows and my lip last night. Hurts like the dickens but it's sooooo much better than tweezing. She's learning hair cutting right now. She's on the floor a lot more and is having several people come back and request her. That's always fun.
Chase, Steph and the boys are doing great. We are having our first ever "Monster Ball and sleep over on Halloween. We are really excited. We've got a scary menu planned and fun games and movies....a little trick-or-treating....and new p.j.'s and scary books for bedtime. I love Halloween. It's my fav.
Hope everyone is doing well. We are excited to spend time with all of you at Thanksgiving. That will for sure be a "free" (no calorie counting) day....or few days for the Jorgensens. Woohoo! Love you all........
