Dalby Family Alaskan Cruise

The standby adventure begins, first among many miracles that we all arrived by Thursday evening.
And 4 of us within a few minutes of G&G to help get all their luggage to the hotel that was 45+ minutes away.  Kurt ended up getting there early and got to go with Steve & Steph to a baseball game.
Hotel fun
Travel to the cruise ship
K&K raced to get on the ship and were the first ones on.  The rest of us not too far behind them.
Soaking in the beauty, sun and fun~
Signed up day one for the unlimited fitness classes.  Best thing I could have done!  Besides climbing a lot of stairs all week and skipping the elevator, I took 7 fitness classes (some very hard), lots of dancing and came home being down 1 pound instead of up 7-10 pounds like I have on my past cruises.  And this is the longest cruise I've ever been on!  I kept my meals to 3 max a day, with lots of veggies and protein.  Did have some desserts, a few times a lot of desserts after meals, and kept movin and groovin and having fun!

Deep Sea Fishing for Halibut & Salmon
Loved being on the halibut boat with our married kids!
Nick caught a huge halibut and Justin a salmon

Fly Fishing for these 3 ~ so fun!

Dress up night with my beautiful family.
The shows were fantastic all week long.

The flowrider was a blast!

Sled dog adventures ~ beautiful, fun and amazing.  We even saw a bear!

A new favorite way to dance~

Electric Bikes in Canada ~ so fun!

A heartfelt thanks to Mom & Dad for this amazing and beautiful Alaskan Cruise Adventure.  We are so blessed and enjoyed spending time with our incredible family.

4th of July & Freedom

 Love the Sunday before the 4th and singing the National Anthem, have some hawks in our yard and they hang out on our roof, poison ivy from pulling weeds-ugh, someone had fun with sidewalk chalk on the paths that Tiff & I saw on our 4th of July morning run, went to Sound of Freedom with the Brays - what a powerful and heartbreaking show
The kids got together for some 4th of July fun🇺🇸

June Jazz

 Nick & Justin came home for 10 days to play🙌🏼
Loved bowling, movies, food, church, games & fun with them💙
Mom & Dad won bowling😂
only because of a terrible, un-oiled bowling lane🎳
cut J's hair, Nick's thoughtful father's day gift,
grand-doggie, and soon to be mom & dad🥳
finally warm enough to swim in mid June, going to miss running with my Tiff who is moving in July, feeling all the feels, Corinne's countless insights & info and lots of thought work & journaling is helping me take this excess weight off for the last time ~ filled with love, compassion, commitment, dedication and courage, mowing the lawn...in the dark at times🌟
Sarah made Brandon a ho-ho cake for his birthday, love this shirt I saw a cute lady at the gym wearing, hotel toilet paper roll but like our cute Diane's better, sharing our purple flowers, redoing our neighbor's home
Brandon & Sarah's 3rd Anniversary in Disney Land🐭

Corinne & No BS Bootcamp

I have always admired Corinne Crabtree.  She lost 100 pounds 15+ years ago and has created a multi-million dollar business helping other women do the same.  I had the opportunity to meet her a couple years ago at a Fearless Event where she graciously shared her insights and expertise with those of us there.  She took time to do selfies and even did a teaching tidbit tuesday with me.  And then when I saw her again, in November at another Fearless event, she did that all with me again.  Corinne is filled with love, compassion, and generosity.

The opportunity came for me to be in her Advanced Weightloss Certification this summer.  And since she always overdelivers, I get to be in her No BS business and weightloss programs for 3 months, and got to attend her business bootcamp in Nashville.  I've learned more in the past few weeks about weightloss that is truly helping me.  I've stopped binging.  I dropped 7 pounds in June, and on my way to my 123 or 20/35 Impeccable Size by the end of the summer!  Hoping to work part time for Corinne too.  Fun to take photos on stage, and going to be there someday teaching/coaching💙
