So I was feeling kind of sad...being broke this X-mas. I spent all my money on the band and I usually am not that selfish. I go and see my family in Texas or I take my Hubby on trips. So I am looking through the old pics and I realize... like a flashlight going on. I was not selfish. I can walk now without worring about my knee. I can climb stairs without loosing my breath. I have become a better me for my hubbie. So now I am not so sad. I am infact quite glad I am broke this xmas. ....but next year I am taking the new me in the new bikini I plan to be able to fit back to the sun and fun of the carribean. I hope everyone had a wonderful X-mas and a safe and happy new year...remember be good to your band...
