Happy Spring

You see these pictures of these beautiful moms with their strollers and perfect hair and makeup. This is reality right?!?

OMG!!! Are you kidding me?!?

I told myself that even once I became a mom I would make time to workout for myself, because I need the "me" time. Boy was I wrong! Becoming a mom might be the most rewarding thing I have ever experienced but also the hardest thing I am still trying to figure out.

I love the fact that I'm teaching at the local Y two days a week and still finding time to exercise in that capacity.

A few updates:
1. We finally moved into our house. No more living with the in-laws. After almost 10 months, it was definitely time to have our own space. Miss K has her own room finally!
2. I changed jobs within my department and finally have a "normal adult" schedule.
3. My husband also received a promotion to a more permanent schedule which will be a huge help on the home front.

As Easter approaches this weekend and we are reminded of who died on the cross for our sins to be forgiven, I have taken extra time to thank Him for all of the great things he has provided for me and my family this year.
- A beautiful daughter
- A brand new home
- A job change for me, and a more permanent position for my better half.

I can honestly say that I have the world now, and have everything I will ever need. Would I love to make more money and have less taxes take out - of course! But who wouldn't. Would I love to win the lottery and eliminate some debt, have knowledge that I could go on vacation EVERY year without hesitation, ABSOLUTELY!

But I'm realistic. Money doesn't make you happy. But being around the people you love, and knowing what you have to be thankful for is the best gift in the world.

Happy Easter everyone.

P.S. I would like to start blogging about my classes and workouts, but we will see how that goes. Stay tuned.

I've Got This

I've been silent for quite some time from this blog. At times I don't always know what to say and don't always want to have negative things going on to write about. However, at the same time I am so tired of having to be fake and being "OK" all the time. I'm not perfect, and I'm doing better. Some days are better than others and some days are even great. I'm so happy at where I am at these days and I am feeling so accomplished for so many things. At the same time, there are days where I feel like I'm thrown back and have to face everything head on all over again. I'm learning that my former extended family doesn't belong to me any more, especially now that there is another girl in A's life. I need to allow for her and A and his family to start their own memories and start developing whatever relationship is going to happen. I absolutely adore them and will always care about them. Seeing pictures of the lake, and the pontoon makes me m...

Infertility

So once again I attempt to start my blog on weight loss. However, I've entered a new chapter in my life. Babies. Well not quite yet, but we'll get there. Here's some history..... I was diagnosed with endometriosis in March of 2010, only 3 months after getting married. I had a laparoscopy and had 5-6 different areas. I continued treatment with birth control overlapping each month and when that didn't seem to help the symptoms I started on Lupron. For those of you that are familiar with this product you can attest to its wonderfulness as well as its downfalls. The Lupron put my body into menopause at the age of 24 :) Fun Fun fun!!!! On the first round of shots I did not have a hormone replacement pill which I wish I would have. I had shots every month for 3 months then took a break. In June I had a 3 month dose of Lupron again. The pain continued and I had a second laparoscopy with a tubular dye study in September, and here we are. Our game plan...... My OB/GYN wants to t...

True Happiness

If I actually had real followers on here I might get some feedback on what truly makes you happy? Think about it......how many people can honestly say they are TRULY happy. And if you say, "Yes" I want to know your secret. Everyone has a bad day or two or a shitty situation that they wished they hadn't had to go through. But I do believe there are really, actual happy people out there, And I used to be one of them, Or maybe I was just young and naive at the time as well. The paths we take, the experiences we make, and the people we meet will all contribute to happiness. But I also think that there are too many people out there who aren't happy but aren't willing to take the steps to find out what it is that is making them unhappy and then make the change. For my instance, I have been jumping from job to job thinking that I was missing out on utilizing my creativity that I love so much.  I didn't like the daily task of data entry and poor work environment...
