Something to blog about....

YAY! I'm back! Yesterday was super busy for me at work, but today I actually have time to blog. We took a break from our wii'ing last night to go meet Bob Harper and some of the Biggest Loser contestants. SO FUN. We love that show. That show is what inspired Jayson to start losing weight. He has lost 37 pounds so far! I am so proud of him. He weighs in every Tuesday morning. He allows himself one "cheat meal" on Tuesdays, but other than that he does not cheat at all. He is so strong! Anyway, we got to the bookstore where Bob was doing his book signing at around 6:20. It was already pretty crowded. We got stuck behind a woman who brought her two toddlers to the event and couldn't control them. HONESTLY. Why ruin it for everyone else? She pushed her way up to the front with her double stroller and let her kids run wild. I was going NUTS. Bob came out at around 7:15. The place went nuts--he is from Clarksville, which is about 45 minutes outside of Nashville. So he is a hometown boy. His family and friends were all there. He spoke for about 15 minutes. Very motivating...and he is a Christian! He was very vocal about God giving us our bodies and how they are His temple. Next thing we knew, Dan and his mom Jackie from this season walked out, and then later Cowboy David from last season walked out. It was so fun! We were in group 3 to get Bob to sign our book, so we had some time to mingle after he spoke. We met all the contestants that were there. They were all super nice to talk to. Dan is in town for GMA week (Gospel Music Association). He gave us a CD and invited us to come hear him sing downtown. Cowboy and his wife were super friendly too. He gave Jayson his card with his cell phone number in case he ever needed encouragement or advice on his weight loss. Jay Jay was on cloud nine! Finally it was our turn to meet Bob. He is so cute! Our pic with him isn't as good as we wanted it to be. The woman who took it didn't let us know she was taking it, so I had to dive in to even get in the picture! It was a great night though. Here are some pics:
