It is so hard to not just post pictures of the view from our apartment all the time. I mean, it seems sort of boring and lame. But, it is just so amazing that sometimes I can't help myself.

Odds and Ends
If you have been to Maxwell Smart's photo album, you know that he recently went to a family reunion. I thought you guys might also like to see a video from the day.
I've added a couple of new things to the blog. First of all- I put a link to my friend Sarah's weight loss surgery blog on the links list to the right. I also added a weight loss tracker at the bottom for any who are interested in following that saga. And, I'll go ahead and say that the goal of loosing 150lbs is pretty close to arbitrary. It is a nice round number. The last time I was at a weight that would be "normal" for me now - I was in elementary school. I have no concept of what a good normal weight is for me as an adult.
With my last post, I realize that I may have come off as not wanting to talk about my surgery, which isn't really true. It is just that it feels weird somehow to bring it up randomly. I've never walked into a room and said, "Guess what everybody! I'm on a diet!" It isn't that I wouldn't want anyone to know that I'm on a diet or not want to talk about it. I just wouldn't bring it up. Now, I know that major surgery is something that people tend to make a point of mentioning to their friends - but in my head, I'm thinking of it like a diet.
One last thing: I've set up a new photo album called Mommy and Max that will have regular photos of me and Max. The idea is that over time you will be able to see me get smaller and Max get bigger. At this point, I don't think either effect is noticeable, but at some point I'm sure it will be.

The Secret
Ok, so it isn't really a secret - I just haven't really made a point of telling people. I think I want to believe that it isn't really a big deal- not worth mentioning. But, I figured it was about time I go ahead and bite the bullet and let the word out.
I had a gastric bypass surgery. For the anatomically curious among you, this is what my insides now look like. There has been a minor complication with a partial bowel obstruction. We are hoping that it is clearing up on its own and in the mean time I'm struggling to find things that I can comfortably eat. I still feel good about my decision. It is important to me to be healthy and I know that these current issues are nothing compared to the long-term health benefits.
So there you have it. Now everybody knows.

New Years!
Ok, yes I know - it has been a long time since New Years. But I thought you might still like to see the fireworks. We had some people over and watched the show from our apartment.
While I'm playing catch-up - there are updates to a couple of the photo albums.
