Changes

The picture in my pink shirt is when I hit 100 pounds! Can you believe it? I am down a total of 107 pounds so far, 149 size 10! I never was a size 10 in school. My life is the same but so different if that makes sense lol My confidence is so much more my self hate is almost gone ha! It was a busy busy summer! Both boys were lifegaurds all summer, Patrick got his license, Parker started his senior year of high school which I am slowly accepting. We order his cap and gown next month and get his senior pictures done after that, ok who am I kidding I have not dealt with it. Patrick is playing football and doing AMAZING! He said he takes after his dad cause Don was a great football player too. The littles just finished up flag football, glad that's done starting to get cold and we all know how I feel about the cold ha! I am hoping for the Farmers sake we get snow. Our puppy is getting so big! She is huge and just huge lpl we love her so much! I have had 3 aunts die from Cancer and it killed me! Especially my Aunt Rhonda from Forks, oh I miss her. My Elsa (car) is almost a year old! I still love her headed seats and heated steering wheel :) I am aware that I am very spoiled. I turned 39 last week, for my 40th I will be in Vegas with my man and our friends! Work is good and even better that its part time! Well thats all for now!!

I am already exhausted from the upcoming months lol Work is crazy and racing starts this next weekend. School board stuff,baseball and everything in between that. My baby boy turns 9 next month and I am trying to remember where those 9 years have gone. I just have no idea! I got my hair cut and I do like it but I do miss my long hair already! My hair grows so fast plus I am on prenatal vits so no worries. My weight loss has been a bit slow this month, still at 89 pounds which is amazing but it ddoesn't help I haven't been to the gym in the last month. I got a double ear infection and strep throat then because I am a woman a nice little bonus along with the antibiotics lol I am finally feeling human again! We are interviewing for a new Superintendent at school, its going good we should reach a decision tomorrow night at our meeting. Josh had an ear infection last week ugh. Suppose to be 72 this next weekend, to say I am excited is an understatement! Our Sophie is getting so big! 34 pounds already! She got fixed and all done with her shots for the year. We started going on walks to train her on the leash, she isn't a fan yet ha! Well here is to a week I hope goes fast!

13 years

It has been almost 13 years since I have met Don.
13 years of honesty
13 years of loyalty
13 years encouragement
13 years of love
13 years of seeing what a dad is suppose to be like to my kids
13 years of seeing how a man is suppose to treat his wife
13 years of knowing he is not going to ever leave me.
What a fantastic 13 years its been.

Sophie Sarsaparilla

Here is our new girl! Half Husky half Lab. She is a sweetie! !

I can finally upload pictures! We had a school board meeting last night and we went over the calendar for next year, and Parker graduates on Patricks 17th birthday! I got instantly sad,my baby boy graduating is going to kill me!! I am finally over my strep/double ear infection :( man the older we get the harder to bounce back. I had 5 men taking such good care of me. Don wouldn't let me do a thing,i totally loved it ha! So this picture is me the day of my surgery and today. 89 pounds gone! I cannot believe the difference! ! This weekend i am taking off to olympia to smooze with the senators i am pretty important ;)

Happy 2015!

Who would of thought after the HUGE Y2K scare that we would even make it to 2015!I would say it feels weird typing 2015 but I have been writing it at work for a couple weeks now! Our night was super laid back and nice! Tina came over to pick up her puppy so she stayed the night with us. She got a sister puppy to our Sophie, such sweet babies! We toasted, ate lots of food and of course kicked her but in Sorry ha! We talked and talked and I finally went to bed at 10:15 HA! I worked almost all day yesterday so I was so tired, so my Bubba went to bed with me :)We always get invited to parties and stuff, but honestly, I would rather be home with my men, they will not be here forever and I would rather bring in every new year with them then go out and drink and party. I guess that's part of growing up?! Today, we have our snack foods and were getting ready for the Rose Bowl, Go Ducks! I have always set resolutions for the New Year, and never ever kept 1 ha! So this year I am just going to love more, understand more, be patient more, spend every minute I can with my all my men, more date nights with Don and more trips to the West Side is a must. I do need to reach my goal weight wise and I am always changing it lol, it was 160 but I may go down to 150 or even 145, just depends on how I feel when I get to each one. Mainly I want to be healthy and I think I really am! I have had some highs and lows about this last year, let me state them:


Lows:
Hated myself, low self esteem, tired all the time, grouchy, used by people, hated by family (ok, 1 family member ha)bad choices.


Highs:
My family, weight loss, starting to love myself, actually thinking I am worth something (even though Don tells me every single day) more energy, not as grouchy, helping friends who need it.

When I see this the good far out weights the bad! This is the first day of a blank book with 365 days worth of pages, start the book out great! Love, be kind, honest, compassionate and always remember, someone has it far worse then you, stop complaining!!

Happy 2015!!!

Christmas!

I cannot believe it is already Christmas Eve! Where in the heck did this year go? What a great year it was, the years only get better and better! Last week we were on the west side doing our Christmas there. Always a good time, miss my family already! Tomorrow after John gets off work my mom and him are coming for Christmas dinner. I had to work until 2 today BOOO but when I got home I made my cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning, well they are still rising but look amazing! Tonight we watch Rudolph and have hot cocoa, then I will tell all the boys the story of The night before Christmas, and off to bed for them and wrapping starts for us LOL! Why oh why do we wait until Christmas Eve to wrap? I think we ask ourselves that every single year! Since they don't read my blog I can tell you that they are getting a Husky/Lab puppy for Christmas. I am not ready for a dog, I miss my Mona girl so much, so so much, but it isn't about me, its about them and they want a dog so badly! We go this weekend and pick her out, she isn't ready for her new home for another week or so but we'll go dibs her :)

I work Friday in the lab booo again, Don doesn't work and the boys are home and I have to work, it makes me sad but at least I get off at 2, whatever lol. This Christmas will NOT be a white one, first one in so many years, but I am ok with it! We have not really had any snow which I am also ok with. The weather has been amazing and I have enjoyed winter for once. The temps are suppose to drop this weekend but I still don't see snow in the forecast, we have had lots of rain, which is better than snow ha!

Well I'm off to make the frosting for my cinnamon rolls and make dinner! Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
