I *heart* my husband.

So, he entered this body building/weight loss competition with a couple of his buddies as a team. It ended about 6 weeks ago and I have to say ... my HOT husband got even HAWTTER. And he dropped 70 pounds of fat and gained 20 pounds of muscle. In 12 weeks. His teammates did fairly well, but neither of them had that much weight to lose. The folks running the competition said we'd know in mid-February if he won or not.

Well. He put back on a few pounds in the meantime -- on purpose.

Their team placed in the top 5. We found out yesterday. That means he has to first, drop the pounds he put back on, and then go to Florida in two weeks (yep, Valentine's Day) for a party where they'll announce the winners. He doesn't want to go unless they'll pay for me to go too, but they haven't given the guys all the details yet.

We're hoping he wins. His part of the prize package will take care of all our medical and school debt, and give us some to put away. So ... yeah. Cross your fingers!
