LOL  Thanks for clearing up the issue of the stalker and daughter not being me!   I was cracking up.  

My recent WOW moment was when my oldest daughter came over with her new purchase to show me her jeans she loves so much.  She had just gotten them at the store and they were soo cute.   They were 13/14 jeans so she said... go ahead Momm try them on.... so I did it just to show her, I knew they wouldnt zip.  But guess what!!!  I got them on with no problem... no tugging, no tucking and no straining!!!  They fit just perfect!!!  I almost flipped.

I also have to say that I have found that I have been faced with a task that requires major energy and strength.  I managed to keep up and get things done.  I have been busy for 4 days straight non-stop from sun up til way past sundown.   I am pretty proud of myself.

Oh, and one last wow.... Brandi and I went to the walkway to see how far we could walk before being worn out.  We set out to do our best.  The section at the park is a 5 mile track.  WE COMPLETED THE WHOLE THING!  I was amazed.  I wasnt even close to being exhausted.  I was feeling it but not even winded really.  So, I know now, I can walk for as long as I need to if it comes to it.  Makes me sad to remember when I could barely walk to the Pepsi Colesium at the State Fair without being totally exhausted and winded when I got there.

I am so grateful for my RNY!

Good Morning Lisa & Tracy !

"WOW" moments ...... I have so many. I am so blessed.
I think my very first one was when I tried to fit myself in a booth when having lunch with some of my OH family. I think that moment was shared with Dawn, Hope, Sherri, Ellen,& Jacqui. It felt wonderful !!!!!! I think I cried.
I can sit in all our lawn furniture, something I haven't been able to do in way over 10 years. And wear those awesome size 6 Capri's, Lisa, you brought me. I love them.
I too, feel blessed to have had my RNY!

Let's keep those "wow" moments coming !!!!!!!!
Have a wonderful day !
Love to all, hugs & blessings, Gail
