All too often I get so caught up blogging about the baby or about Cade, because that is who I am with All day, that I neglect to give credit where credit is so overly due! My sweet husband has been working his little hiney off, literally. A few months back he decided that he was going to get back into shape, no matter the price of blood, sweat and tears. And bleed, sweat, and cry (maybe only a few tears) he definitely did. Shortly after his resolution our gym started a 10 week competition where the winner would get a plasma TV. Jared decided that if he was going to work hard he mine as well get something for it besides a healthy body and a nice physique. For the past 10 weeks he has been running, lifting, sweating, not eating junk (total bummer for me!!) and basically slimming down. On the day of his final weigh in the results where a loss of 45 pounds, 9% of body fat, 6 inches off his waist, and a few others I cannot remember at the moment. The results as far as the competition is concerned are not yet in but in my book, and secretly his, he is already a winner. I am so so so proud of him for being so diligent, dedicated, and willing to give up all the unhealthy things even when there were birthdays, celebrations, and parties he really stuck to his guns. (Side note: The picture above doesn't do him justice it was taken about a month ago)
He also celebrated his 29th birthday on the 20th of May. We had a great day, had some great Indian food and he was very excited to find out that he would be starting Brazilian Jujitsu as a birthday present, something he has always wanted to do.

Okay, about the baby shower. I am so sorry I didn't make it!
