Cullen in the paper!!!!!

My poor, poor hubby! He HATES attention! HATES IT! I cannot possibly express how much he does not enjoy attention.

So what did I do? There was an article in the paper last Sunday called "How I Got This Body" and it featured a story about how someone became inspired and ran with it and how has a fab body. It invited emails regarding others' stories- and I couldn't resist. Cullen is a ROCK STAR. I mean, seriously. Not only did he lose 80 pounds (give or take a few), he has a ROCKIN BOD. I mean, for real. You should see his muscles. I will still claim to never have been one for muscley bodies, but it is so much fun to dress him up and then watch people look at him. Men check him out just as much as women do. It's a riot. And it's been a blast for him, after having been overweight for a good chunk of time.

So I emailed them the story, then to be fair to Cullen, I told him. HAHAH! I received a reply right away and today they called him. They want to do an interview and a photoshoot. HA! A PHOTOSHOOT. He's even more horrified that his pic will be in there, but when he called me to say "I am completely NOT on board with this" I told him that he OWES IT to anyone who will read that and be inspired. He owes it to anyone who is depressed as he was, overweight, drinking too much, not working, feeling like a letdown to themselves and their family, to see that it can be done. Not many people get to tell their story, you know? Wouldn't it be fun to tell YOUR story? To more than just the people in your own little world? It'd be a blast. EVERYONE has a story. Cullen's is about overcoming his learning disability and childhood trauma that stemmed from that, overcoming HIMSELF to be better than ever. For himself, his family, and everyone around him. And I am SO PROUD! I can't wait to see how this goes!

YAY CULLEN!!!!! Yay meow-y, muscley, inspiring, wonderful Cullen.
