Unique Delivery

Happy belated Valentine's day, all! Hope you had a lovely day with someone you love.

I just wanted to take a quick moment to share the fun surprise my creative hubby delivered to me on Monday~

Now, you're probably wondering what the heck these foil-wrapped things are. Some guessed bananas, others hot dogs or corn dogs. Wrong. For those of you who don't know, I'm a pickle fiend. So when I opened the wrapping, I was thrilled to see fried pickles from (in my opinion) the best fried pickle makers in the land, Pluckers.

Chris had the clever idea to wrap each pickle in foil, place them on wooden skewers and arrange them in a bouquet. I have to say...my hubby did great and definitely knows his wife. I'll take food over flowers any day. ;) The whole gesture really melted my heart...

Thank you, Chris, for the thoughtful gift, for your caring heart and for loving me. You never cease to amaze me... :) I LOVE YOU!

Chris is the "Biggest Loser"!

I completely forgot to share the great news with everyone! Christopher is his department's "Biggest Loser"! He and his co-workers began their weight loss competition in June and it ended on September 24th.

The winner was the contestant that had the greatest percentage of weight lost out of the group. There were ten people competing for, not only the title of Biggest Loser, but also to win the prize money. Every person participating had to put $20 into the pot, so the winner received most of the buy-in (second and third place got a small portion of it, too).

Chris ended up losing a total of 22.5 pounds for a result of 12.7% in total weight loss percentage. He managed to beat out second place by .8%, to earn his cash prize and bragging rights. The money definitely came in handy as we were able to put it to good use at ACL. :)

Congratulations, babe! Awesome job!

PS- Chris only worked out a handful of times. He gave up drinking sodas and cut back on eating out for lunch, subbing Lean Cuisines instead. Yup, you read that correctly- that’s all it took for him to lose 22.5 lbs. Let me hear it, ladies- SIGH. ;)
