30 Day Challenge-Day 4

Day 4-Your parents

My parents are Greg and Ann.  My dad is part hermit and LOVES to spend time alone in the woods.  My Mom is a social butterfly and turns the TV on when it is too quiet!  I love my Mom and Dad and I love that they have worked really had at their marriage.  They are sweet!

I would include a picture, but I don't really have a good one of the 2 of them and my mom is a wee bit nervous about the internet.  I will love on her by not putting her picture up.  :)

Day 3-Your first love


Jesus.

Honestly, Jesus captured my heart long before any man (there has been only one man, anyway).  It is because of Jesus that my world make sense.  Because of Jesus I have hope for the future.  Because of Jesus I have freedom.  because of Jesus I have security.  Because of Jesus I have salvation.  because of Jesus I have joy.  Jesus is my first love and my last love.  There is purpose because of Jesus.

Without Jesus, I am simply, a sinner.  With Jesus I am redeemed and a daughter to the Almighty God.

Day 2-Meaning behind your blog name

bontybugs
Since our last name is Bontempo and we have 3 little "bugs" it seemed to fit.  One of many nicknames for my kids is bug-bug or bug-a-roo, so it just kind of works.

30 Day Blog Challenge

I totally stole this from my friend Theresa, who is a way better blogger than me.  I tend to have lots of blog ideas and thoughts, but don't really sit down and do it.  Either this will excite me and motivate me to be a more consistent blogger, or I will feel guilty for not doing it.  We'll see...

FreshStart

Okay, so I have done a fairly lousy job with my food journal...stink.  I was hoping that I would be better at it, but with chasing 3 kiddos around, I am pretty satisfied to be following the FreshStart plan, even if I don't write it down.

The Great news:  I lost 4.2lbs in a week!!!  YAY!  Almost to my goal.  I feel so much freakin' better!  My clothes are fitting better!  It is great.  Plus I have still been able to breastfeed this whole time and I am actually producing more milk!  (I think that is a huge part to the detox tea, which has milk thistle in it!)

Here's to your health!
