Guess what Finally Came...?

My Mrs Illinois United States 2008 Pageant Banner/Sash!

I know, I know - this is the typical 'holding the camera shot' - but what a nice surprise on the front porch when we came home! ;-)

Special Thanks to Karen Guilbeau at LA Magical Memories for making such spectacular Rhinestone sashes for all 2008 Mrs. United States Delegates! It's Super!

Sunday I started my new Diet and Workout Regimen.... I learned a lot in 2004 getting in shape physically and mentally for the Miss Illinois USA pageant... Who would of thought that only 6 years ago I was 117 pounds heavier? It was a lot of work, but a great goal to get my skin and muscles and posture in premium shape only a few years ago. It's funny how the pounds creep back on - I'm not 'bikini ready' today - but I have no fear to put on my one-piece and jump on down that Tube slide with the kids at the Water Park... ;-) I'm looking forward to challenging my body in the next few months, especially since I'll be turning the big 3-0 in just a few weeks. Oh boy!

The kids and Hubby are working on a fitness program as well, getting ready for warmer weather and more activities outdoors too. As they say, there are only two seasons in Chicago - Winter and Construction. Hopefully we can avoid both and enjoy walking Downtown Elgin as a family and ride our bikes along the awesome Fox River Trails. ; - )
