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.

God only gives you what you can handle

Where do I begin. This summer has been the best of any summer I can remember, besides the summer going into my senior year at Concordia. That was an epic summer I'll never forget. But this summer, was one for the books, in so many ways. For one, this was the first time I have had a break from school in 365 days. I took every opportunity and enjoyed my days off, not online submitting papers or reading a text book. Summer school ended at the end of June, and I pulled off 2 B's and an A.  I've always said that you meet people in your life for a reason, and I truly believe that. Over the last year I have met countless people. At different times I have questioned their motivation, but I also have embraced the opportunity to find out what their purpose is to me. Whether people stay in your life or leave, there is always a lesson learned. And then, there are those moments when you meet people and you know right away, that they will have an impact on your life, and in a goo...

Queens Don't

I feel like I have a heavy heart going into this next week of distant learning. Everything seems to come crashing down the moment I get all the plates spinning in the right direction and at the right pace. In an instant life can change. A person can call and change the entire night based on what was said. Co-parenting is really hard some times. I think the move back has helped, but I'm back in the position of where A wants to know all of my personal stuff. While I appreciate his feedback, it truly isn't his business. After being out of a relationship for almost a year, I'm ready to date again. It's not like I have people lining up outside my door asking me for my number. People are meeting online these days. I'm open, but seriously, the whole trusting part is getting the best of me. I had someone ask me if I would be happy if I never found someone  to live the rest of my life with. While that question caught me off guard, I didn't hesitate to answer; of ...

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...
