Bear Will Travel and Lose Weight


My what 3 years can do to a girl. When I left college I was a trim 176lbs and looked cute in a
two piece
Three years and 30lbs later I look like this. I am going to make it know that I the Bear is trying to lose the extra weight that I have put on. I don't care if I wear a bikini again, I just want to look great and feel good in my own skin. Mr thinks I am beautiful, but I know he would like to have the college Bear back.
So I am focusing on cutting back and walking more. I will keep you posted on my transformation

Three Bears Will Travel


Mr and I met back on April 3rd 2005 after a week of chatting online and on the phone. I decided to invite him up to Superior WI for a date. To my amazement he said yes and came up that Sunday. Our first date was awesome. Little did I know he was holding back some information. The Wednesday after our date he called to tell me something, he told me he would understand if I didn't want to see him again. I thought what could it be............He blurted it out, I have a son. Oh I said and wanted to know more. That was almost 4 years ago and we are going strong.
Mr is a a home electronics specialist. He spends his days selling high end electronics and his nights watching football, playing magic and cuddling with the bear. My husband is a wonderful and caring man. Mr is a great father and I can't wait until we have a little bear of our own.

That's Me. I'm Bear, I have a B.S. in Legal studies from UW-Superior and I am a paralegal with out a job, well I have a job its just not a paralegal job. I spend my days answering the phones at a big pharmacy benefit manager and my nights, cooking, cleaning, watching a little TV and cuddling with Mr. I love to cook, bake and grow a few flowers along the way. Traveling is my expensive yet fun hobby I have a goal of standing on all 7 continents, I have 3 down only 4 more to go
Nan's is currently 5 years old. I met Nans when he was 18 months old and what can i say those chubby cheeks stole my heart. He spends his time with video games, likes to think he is a star wars clone war storm trooper. Nans loves playing with his dad more than anything.
People often ask me how can you love a child that isn't your own. I simply reply love has no boundaries and all children deserved to be loved by someone. When I look at Nans I don't see my husbands child, I see my child, I treat him like I gave birth to him, he is and always will be my son.

All is right tonight

Today Mr. Nans came up for his first weekend visit. For some reason or another his mother managed to miss his first flight out of Austin. Luckily the air line found him a seat on the next plane. An at 8:30pm last night our little family was whole again. We are a family of six once again. Nans fur sisters were very excited to see there boy, especially miss frecks. It was good to see him tucked in his little spiderman bed without a care in the world snoring like a frieght train.

I don't think Nans will ever realize just how much I love him and how lucky he is to have a Mommy and a Nannie.
