Alright y'all. It's been a LONGGGGG time. Way too long since I've written, and even since I've seriously written. Wow! Idk what the deal is. I guess I just got busy, or didn't feel like I had much to write about, so I just didn't. Kinda makes me sad I didn't. I know someday I'll probably look back and wish I would have so that I knew what was happening in my life during all that time. Buuuttt... Nothing I can do about that now, except move forward! :)
SO! What's new in my world? A LOT!! lol Let's see where should we start.... Like I mentioned before, Justin has given up on the USMC thing. Just became too much for him and he wasn't getting anywhere so he decided to just forget about it. It makes him (and I) sad, but, at the same time, we can't wait around forever and since they didn't see very serious about getting things together for him, he's decided to just move on from it. After all, we gave it 19 months!!! Ridiculous. But it is what it is.
Heidi got married!!! It was a beautiful day, a beautiful wedding, for a beautiful couple! I felt so incredibly blessed to have been a part of their day. :) It was a lot of fun along the way with the planning, the shower, the bachelorette party and then the big day. It was wonderful. Can't believe they are finally married!!! Seems like it was just yesterday he proposed and now they've been married a month already!! :) Crazy how time flies.
I started working again!! I know, it's crazy. I really thought I'd be a SAHM longer than this, but gotta do what you gotta do! I went to work at a daycare, the one that G now goes to, and I like it so far. Other than we've both been crazy sick a couple times already and I've only been there a little less than a month! It'll happen though. We're working through it. I think it'll be good, in the long run, for both of us though. It gets me out of the house and doing something, it gets her around other kids a few days a week (cuz she stays with daddy the other days) and used to doing things with other people besides just the usual family/friends she sees. She's adjusting pretty well. It's been good. And of course the little bit of extra money for our family has been good, too.
I started a weight loss page on FB. Tomorrow I've had it up for ONE MONTH and I have over 200 people on it!! It's amazing. Humbling, for sure. It's wonderful to hear other people's stories, have them share their journey's but also to know how many people support me, people I don't even know! People writing to tell me that I've inspired them! It's.... truly, truly amazing.......... I can't even tell you. I feel incredibly blessed, that's for sure. I definitely couldn't have made it as far as I have, or kept with it, or stayed as positive as I did (most days) without so much support. I've had a lot of fun with it so far. I'm trying to come up with other stuff I can post about, discussion topics, fun questions etc, to get people more involved, but so far, I'd say it's been a pretty great success!! Can't wait to see where it goes!!
Speaking of weightloss, I'm officially down to 155 lbs!!! Can you believe it!? Those of you who have followed my journey from the beginning, it's crazy right? Starting at 271 lbs, it's just........ unbelievable to me. But I'm finally getting closer and closer and closer! I've set a new goal, an ULTIMATE goal finally, of 128 lbs by my 28th birthday on Jan 28th 2013! So! I have a little ways to go, but I'm hoping that I'll get there by then! After all, it would sure be perfect to get to say that on my GOLDEN BIRTHDAY! Eeeek! So exciting!! :)
Anyway, now that it's Nov 1st, I decided that with all the new and exciting things happening, that I should really get back into blogging so I can keep track of it all. :) Hope you all have been well. I hope that you all will continue to follow this journey! :) I'll leave you with my 3 things I'm thankful for, after all, I really wanna get back into that, as well!! I'm going to try to keep it to specific things I'm thankful for about each day, rather than being so broad, if that makes sense? :) Enjoy!
1. I'm thankful for a clean house! Even though I had to do it. lol
2. I'm thankful for 70 degree weather!
3. I'm thankful for getting to take my little munchkin trick or treating last night. Even though she didn't feel real great, she had a good time. :)
Love!!
