- This certainly is NOT a weight-loss blog... but seriously. We lost a lot. It was work. It was emotional. It was crazy! Alek lost 80 pounds and Colleen lost 120.
- Alek obtained a 3.2 GPA for his fall semester at UB!
- Alek finally quit his job at CMS and took a leap of faith to an internship at Calspan where he was able to dip his toes into the world of integration and programming! Then, he was hired as a part-time employee!
- Colleen and Alek opened a "First Home Club" account at First Niagara and took another step towards a house of our own!
- Colleen began actively pursuing a plastic surgeon to perform a Brachioplasty and Mastopexy in early 2012 and (once healed) finally go out and find that dream wedding dress!
- Colleen and (sometimes) Alek learned that going to the gym at 5:30 AM is possible and not quite as painful as previously anticipated.
- We learned that with the help of friends you can accomplish anything - including the mudding, sanding and painting of our beloved "Club Blumpkin"
- Also with the help of wonderful friends, we finally turned our bedroom into a more adult bedroom - matching bedspread and all!
Colleen and Tim - Colleen actually got the guts to join the Center One softball team!
- Alek learned that the only way to tailgate is by going with your closest friends, and if you run into the middle of Milestrip road, Colleen will get angry and yell.

- Colleen and Alek learned the value of good times with good friends. There is nothing like them!
- Colleen was reminded that parents aren't around forever, and any moment can be the last you share. Luckily, all is well. But a quick shout-out to Colleen's Dad and his quit-smoking efforts! We all know he can do it!
