I feel like a weight has been lifted!

Haha ok so probably because it has! 43lbs of weight to be precise! I have exactly 1lb ONE FREAKING POUND, to go before I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight! How exciting is that?! Totally. Well... I should say, that is according to the scale at home, and I didn't step on it until AFTER I had Griffyn so I'm not quite sure how "accurate" to what I weighed before, it is. I go back to the doc on Monday, so I will REALLY know then!! I'm anxious, to say the least, to see what it will say. :) But nonetheless, it's still motivating to see the #'s continuing to go downnnnnnnn.... :)
I have started running!! Justin's cousin Ashlie did this program that is like the C25K program, and so far I am looovvviiinnngggg it! :) I never in my whole life thought I would come even CLOSE to saying that I love running, but I really, really do. It feels good. Really good. It doesn't bother me to do it, like it did before, and I think that is partly due to 2 different things: my attitude about it is different & I run in Vibram's!! Those shoes are so dang amazing. I couldn't believe how much of a difference it really makes, but it totally does. They actually feel GOOD to run in!! I think Justin is going to get a pair when he gets back because I keep raving about them. :) Haha!!
Speaking of that, Justin left this past weekend for AT for 2 weeks. I was pretty nervous about it, with G-Mac & I being by ourselves for that long, but we have done great so far!! :) Granted, he's only been gone for 5 days, but we are definitely managing! We miss him like crazy though, and are ready, already, for him to be home!! Only 10 days left, or 9 days and a wake up!! He is out in KY this time. Sounds like it's been quite the mess out there, no one really has much of a plan so they've been standing around a lot, something he HATES to do, plus it's been storming and when there is lightning they can't do anything with ammo so it's been interesting, it sounds like. He's ready to come home too. It's so cute when he calls or texts he always makes sure to tell me how much he misses me and loves me, but then he always tells me to kiss G and tell her he loves & misses her too. <3 He's such a great daddy. :)
He is considering a deployment in Nov. It just depends on a couple of things. One being if there is even room for him to go, and the other is how it will affect him going AD since he already has his package in for that. So we kinda just have to wait and see until he can get a chance to talk to his Admin section about both of those things. We did also learn though, last week, that his paperwork only has 1 more section to stop at and be signed off by, until it gets to HQ (the last step) so that's exciting!! It's getting somewhere, slowly but surely. We're both just getting really anxious to find out whether he is approved or not!! Justin says there's no reason it shouldn't be approved, unless something crazy happens, so let's hope!! Then he just has to decide for sure on his new MOS and pick it so they can decide when there is an opening in the MOS school for him to go to. If he gets the MOS he wants, he will go to school in VA and it would be for 6 months which means we'd get to go with him! :) We're both really looking forward to this whole thing and just wish this beginning process would move along a little quicker!! lol But it IS getting there. Slowly, but surely!!
Well, not much else to report on right now I don't think. We are anxious for J to get back home with us!!! Can't believe there's only a few days left in JUNE! Time just flies by! :)
Love....
