Hello. My name is Robin. I am the lady in the red. The guy who I'm hugged up on is my wonderful husband. I am a 29 year old woman who is a proud wife of the BEST Marine of the USMC and a proud momma of two BEAUTIFUL children. My birthday is coming December 18, 2009 and I will be the big 3-0!!! I am really excited about this because I have a laundry list of goals to attain "before I turn 30" such as: learning to swim (breaking the stereotype that black people can't swim...lol), read the whole bible cover to cover (learning a lot reading it that way), go to the chiropractor to get my back aligned (almost done with that one) and the reason why I'm on this site...to lose weight to be healthy (and I've already lost 18 lbs). My last "resolution before I turn 30" is after I accomplish losing the weight, I'm going to run a 1/2 marathon. Why? Because I believe that my 30's will be the best decade yet (technically I have nowhere but up). Every drama of my past is the past and I'm making 29 a good elevating platform to go off of. I'm a dreamer and I have just started back dreaming again and I'm excited about losing weight and being healthy. This year has been AMAZING and I'm soooo excited to see what is to come
