Update...

Hello again, sorry its been awhile since I've updated everyone on whats going on with us. Trinity just finished up dance and did fantastic at her show, we are seriously thinking about putting her in the 9 mo ballet program at Just For Kix as well. Sophie is doing good, starting to be more and more like a 2 year old every day. Matthew is doing well, he's been busy in the yard trying to make it look as nice as possible. I am not doing a whole lot, finished up with my Nurse Assistant course in May and besides that have just been taking it easy.

But I have reached my accomplishment (well almost anyways just a few more pounds/inches to go and I'll be completely done) I'm sure everyone is tired of listening about my weight loss story but I'm so proud of myself and I want to share it with everyone. I have a side by side picture; the one on the left is me in Oct of 2006 (when I started dieting) and the one on the right was taken over Memorial Day weekend of 2008.

Update and Happy Easter

Alright so classes are going pretty well. They are going to keep me really busy for the next 8 weeks but that's alright. I love it and am really contemplating going on for my LPN after this. I love the nursing field and am very excited to get to take care of people.

Happy Easter to everyone as well. Yesterday Matt made Elmo in the snow ( instead of a snowman) he even went and took red food coloring to make it red....needless to say Trinity took a picture by it and we sent it into 2 news stations and Channel 5 news had her on there standing by it. It was really neat and she was extremely excited about seeing it on the TV. Anyways Happy Easter to all.

CNA classes....and Australia

Alright so tomorrow night I start my CNA classes and to be honest I am a little nervous, just not knowing what to expect and also am kind of worried that I won't like it once I'm into it. I have a ton of support from everyone so that is really helping me in the process of keeping my spirits high.


Also I'm getting beyond excited about going to Australia in 2009. It is going to probably be one of the most memorable excited things that have ever happened to me. Matt is alright with me going for 3+ weeks and that makes me so happy because if he wasn't it would be really hard to go. But it is going to be an awesome bonding time with my Dad (well step dad), his mom and his sister, it should really be amazing. We are looking at going either in April ( their Fall ) or in Sept-Oct ( their Spring ), oh yeah its like 98 there right now :) aww that would be great!

Well that's it for now I'll let everyone know how my classes go and if there is anything else new going on with us. Oh and they girls are great I put Trinity into Teeny Kix ( Just for Kix ) she'll have her show May 17th and 18th so that should be awesome to see; she's very excited about that. Sophie is awesome, growing like crazy and talking better and better everyday. Matt is well just really busy with work all the time. Love and Gods Blessings to everyone!

Life......

Alright so I was getting a little razed because I haven't posted in a really long time but who has time. I barely have time to breathe somedays it feels like. Anywho So there really isn't a lot going on with us at all; Sophie has really been growing up and talking so much more. Trinity is almost COMPLETELY POTTY TRAINED YAY!!! I'm going to be starting my CNA classes in March and I'm extremely excited for that. Matts job is going really well, he works a lot but it will all pay off in the end.
A couple of weekends ago we started to go back to church and found ourselves back at Avon Community Church ( where we got married ) and it has been a huge blessing. Trinity absolutely LOVES Sunday School and told us last week that her favorite books are The Bible and her princess books.

I am so grateful

Matthew and I just had our 2nd wedding anniversary on October 1st! It was a great day at work not to stressful, then I came home and on our kitchen tables was 24 roses (which I came to find out later that evening was a rose for every month we've been married for) and a beautiful scripture filled card. He is the best husband a woman could have ever asked for. I love him and thank God for him every day of my life. Also over the weekend we had some of my husbands family his sister her husband and my niece over along with his mother to celebrate Trinity's Bday a little early.

YAY FOR ME!!!

Hey everyone I just had to spread the good news, I'm down between 8 and 10 pants sizes in less than a year and about 50 pounds. I'm so frickin proud of myself. I never thought I could do it but thanks to my girls in med rec for helping accomplish something that I thought was virtually impossible. Take a look at the pics below!!!

APU OUTING

Oh My gooooodness, what a night. We had such a great time. ALL but 1 of the docs showed up ( the other one is out of the country) and the 2 people from Giggle Gram were there and had a great time with Dr Rhee and Dr Boelter. It was soooo funny, I think Dr Boelter was a little embarrassed though, but it was all good fun. Then we found Dr Boelters picture and we had to have the famous one sign autographs, which was pretty funny also. I got some pictures from out wonderful excursion last night also!!! YAY.....as a former co-worker and myself would say GOOD TIMES IN THE MEDICAL RECORDS DEPARTMENT ( APU ALL TOGETHER THOUGH).
