Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow…

Happy Tuesday buddies! I hope this blog finds you all doing well!
rn

Well?I am in a pretty groovy mood today?Not quite sure why, but heck, I am gonna embrace it?
rn
rn
So last night the husband took some new pics of me. I wanted some pics in shorts to put on my personal webpage?
rn
rn
Well, the problem is, I am down to one pair of shorts that fit?Seriously?I just bought new shorts last summer, and all of them are now too big?This is overall, good, but frustrating, as now I MUST go out and buy new shorts?And really, that is such a burden, eh girls?? To be forced to shop??
rn
rn
Luckily, Steve took mercy on me though, and said we will go out Saturday to get me some new shorts?YAY!! And yes, he comes with me?He is ever the great husband that way?We actually love shopping together?Shhhh. Don?t tell his friends?He might get teased!!!
rn
rn
So, anyway?
rn
rn
Last night I come inside from the photo shoot, and change back into my workout clothes?And I am standing in the foyer, looking at my self in the full length mirror?And in my head I start criticizing the things I don?t like about the person staring back at me?
rn
rn
Well, Steve slides up behind me and looks at me in the mirror?
rn
rn
Ahhh?We have a moment?Truly, where his eyes meet mine in the mirror?
rn
rn
And he says ?Dawnie, you look really really nice these days? And I say ?Yeah, but?? and he stops me?
rn
rn
And he stands behind me, and moves his hands down my body (Get your minds out of the gutter buddies!
) but he moves them down, from top to bottom, using them to illustrate his point ?Look, here you have a waist you didn?t before?Look at your hips and how much smaller they are, and your legs, well, your legs are hot?? and on and on?
rn
rn
And I was reminded again, of how funny God can be sometimes?Because sometimes, I feel God shortchanged me when he doled out my father?But he more then made up for it when he doled out my husband?
rn
rn
I am sometimes less then kind to him?And I often try his patience?And I rarely give him the kudos he so very much deserves?I often want more more more then he gives me, failing to see what wonderful things he DOES do?but what he did for me last night, can not be put into words?
rn
rn
He made me stop and see the TRUE reflection and not the one I had convinced myself existed?And for that, the man is genius and a true king among men?
rn
rn
So I am posting here a pic. To illustrate to you and to me, that I am not the girl I was yesterday?That I do indeed like the girl I am today, but who will I be tomorrow??????
rn
rn
I simply do not know, but I am increasingly anxious to meet her?
rn
rn
Take care buddies, and if you have been blessed with a truly good spouse or significant other?Make sure you tell God thank you?And while your at it, make sure you tell them too?

Wow you have come a long way and you are such an inspiration. I wish I had half your determination and willpower, you are truely amazing.
You look amazing !!! But more importantly I love where your head is at. Why do we see ourselves as we use to be and not how we are??? My boyfriend has said and done the same when I have said the exact same things you were thinking. Bravo to these great guys that we finally found. It sometimes takes a long time, but we REALLY do need to let them know….. They are right (hehe) and wonderful. Thank you for this important reminder.
Wow what a fantastic blog Dawn honestly!! You have a fantastic husband this I know!! You’ve described to me a man that is patient, kind, and very supportive of you! A man that takes all the craziness you throw at him takes it in and gives back kindness and compliments!! You should be thankful because I do believe that you have a fantastic hubby there!! I thank my stars for my wife every day too.. Funny how God has a way of throwing the nuts like us in with good people like Steve and Tracey eh? Maybe it is all in his master plan to keep us on track!!!
Your progress pics are great by the way!! It is truly amazing how far you’ve come already!!
Keep up the good work!!
What a hubby you got! You look wonderful….way to go girl! You’ve done an awesome job and you are doing so great!
GREAT JOB DAWN!!!

I love you for making me smile every time I read your blogs, I have never met you but you sound like such an awesome woman.. you always remind how important it is to be positive and love ourselves on the inside as well 
So, I thank you for that

You go girl……. that is awesome!
You look great Dawnie! Wow what an achievement! You should be so proud of yourself. Take care.
Did I ever tell you how much I love and admire you? I know, it sounds silly, we’ve never met, but you touch my heart and soul very often and for that I thank you.
It’s funny…today I read a short article that said we oftentimes miss the silver lining because we’re too busy looking for the goal. The article was about enjoying what we have, about cherishing the present. I was also sitting here, contemplating writing a blog on myspace about if it’s worth to try to find the woman I used to be.
Anyhow, something brought me to this, and I will blog about it in my journal, but for now, know that I appreciate you so much Dawnie and that yes, today, I will tell my husband how proud and happy I am to share my life with him…for being the wonderful man that he is, for loving me inspite of my craziness!
And Dawnie…I agree with Steve…you look hot!
Hey man, I agree with Steve!!! You’re one hot woman!!! You’re doing awesome Dawnie, the changes are amazing…you have to be proud posting these pics. And about Steve….
what a sweet sweet man!!!! You are lucky to have him.
