Kathy 2006 Update


2006 was a wonderful year for me. I started the year by joining weight watchers in January. By May I had reached the goal I had hoped and in less than one year I
lost 85 pounds!

We had a great time in February taking the kids to Walt Disney World in Orlando for a week. In May Dave and I headed to Costa Rica for a great long weekend seeing a friend and Dave speaking at her retreat.

We spent a lot of time this summer at my parents new cottage on a lake about 80 minutes north of us. July 6 was our 10th anniversary and we went to a remote island called North Manitou. The ferry comes only once a day and there are NO provisions on the island and the only people who live there are the rangers when on duty. Beautiful and quiet nonetheless.

In October we went to IN for Dave's 10 year college homecoming. Nice to see Mom and Dad Drury and old friends from back in the day.

In November Dave and I went on a cruise to celebrate our anniversary. For those interested here are the details about that:

  • 5 nights
  • Royal Caribbean: Enchantment of the Seas
  • Port: Ft. Lauderdale
  • Stopped at Key West, Cozumel and Cococay (private
    Bahama Island)
  • Met some great people from all over the USA
  • Had a PERFECT week in all ways!
Thanksmas was celebrated in Marion IN with the Drury clan Thanksgiving weekend. As far as ministry goes I served on the Womens minisry team, served as the Lobby childrens teacher and small group leader with Dave. I still cut hair for friends and family at home and still work when I can marketing The Fruitful Life. I still love being a stay home mom and am thankful to be able to do that. Christmas will be here in West MI and not too busy.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

-Kathy Drury

Kathy: You are an amazing person--who do I know that is so disciplined that they can lose 85 pounds and keep it off? (Nobdy) And you are a great mom and wife and wonderful daughter to us. You plan great vacations too!

Thanks dad for your encouragement and kind words! (Just now came from Weight Watchers...you never really truly get back to the place when you are 20 and you can eat what you want!)

I was encouraged by your WW info. I am a struggling pastor - often defeated in my discipline of weight loss. Been on WW a year - A LONG WAY TO GO. Mosting gaining and seldom loosing.

Yeh it can be hard...It is hard this time of year especially. Already after a couple weeks of eating pretty bad I found my self making a conscious decision to buy alot more fresh fruits and veggies today at the store to get back on track. I just watched the finale of The Biggest Loser on NBC last night and that brought alot of motivation as well! Keep it up! You can do it!
