Merry Christmas Eve!!

Merry Christmas everyone! We hope you have a great Christmas and New Years! We love you all and thank you so much for your love and friendship to our family.
Guess what? We went to a Christmas Carol at the Hale Centre Theatre, rated the #4 best thing to do during Christmas on msn.com..... and it was fabulous! It really was so great and what made it even better was that President Monson came and he was sitting just 5 rows behind us! I kept looking back the whole time to see his reactions to the play, haha. I hurried after the play to go shake his hand but he moves quickly for a prophet and was out the doors before we knew it! ;) Darn it! But that was really neat.
Guess what else? A little more update on the cleanse I went on. I actually kept going after day 10 and did it for 12 days and lost 12 pounds! Many people thought I would gain it back (and I was a little worried as well) but... I haven't gained one pound back and it has been 15 days since I stopped! Yee-haw! BUT I am sure that is because I have changed my eating habits. I don't have any junk food- no candy, cookies, cake, icecream, nothing. I don't drink pop and little juice and I eat as healthy as I can. The best thing is that it isn't even hard for me not to eat junk food, even with the holidays! I don't crave sugar anymore :) which is probably because the salt drink scarred me for life but hey, it worked! I haven't been able to exercise at all but I can't wait to get home and start: P90X!! I'll tell you all about that when I get home :)
Sorry I don't have any pictures posted. I will have to get them up when I get home. Marek is getting real big though!!! He is such a doll and we love him to death!
Merry Christmas again!!!
