Best Friends

The acronym BFF gets thrown around just about as much as the words, I LOVE YOU. But honestly, true best friends are the ones that you can get together with and it's almost as if no time has past at all.

I have these truly special girl friends that are really my true best friends. The three of us have been friends ever since I moved to Alexandria when I was in first grade. Let's just say it was a rough adjustment, but they welcomed me with open arms. I was a little apprehensive about the fact of joining a new group of friends, but it's been over twenty years and we are all still here in Alexandria and we make every effort to continue to have our girls nights. All the ladies were in my wedding and continue to be huge supporters of me and my efforts to continue on being a strong woman, and mom. These special ladies are not only what I call true best friends, but sisters; because family will always be there for you no matter what happens in life, and these girls are the definition of that.

We may not always be super close and exchange texts every day, but when we are together, it's like we haven't been apart. Although we didn't get a ton of time to chat tonight, we definitely lived it up. What more can a girl ask for - wine, food, and a good movie at Cinema 9?!? Oh and buttered and salted movie theater popcorn.

Tonight was one of the best nights that I've had in a really long time. I laughed and I cried, all the while within the company of people that I trust: and that's a big deal.

These girls have been there for me for everything and I'm so thankful. I dedicate this post to you fantastic ladies. We will conquer the world together, play hard, and love harder.

Love you!

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

Flashback Friday (to two weeks ago...)End of Semester.....I made it

Every year at the start of the semester I say that I'm going to be better about blogging and updating. Well, once again, I've failed to post anything since September. Things tend to get a little crazy 4 weeks after the start of the semester and then I look back and think, "Where did the time go?" As always, I'll give you a recap of how the semester went down.... This post has been a long time coming. Again, I spent countless hours on the road four days a week. It was becoming exhausting, and routine. I was getting burnt out. But the thing about this semester is that there was light at the end of it. I was going to be free from driving 200 miles a day, and be in my student teaching placement, hopefully somewhat close to home. The amount of stress that I endured this semester was more than I thought I would have to manage. Between practicums, night classes, working at the winery, the single mom thing, and then a relationship on top of it all, I'm not sure ho

Does Size Matter?

I have always struggled with accepting my body size and shape. I have never been Barbie thin. My entire life I have always been bigger than my friends, teammates, you name it. It has been an issue that I've struggled with for a really long time. Right after my divorce I was super thin and was working out and teaching group exercises 3 times a week...I loved the way my body looked but I still wasn't happy. While life and stress makes my weight fluctuate, I still am active and enjoy working out. I cannot wait for the gyms to open back up so I have a place to go and lift. I've been running, and even bought a new pair of running shoes. But this post isn't really about me, it's about the idea of what others see my body as. I have been open to dating recently and have been on a handful of dates...none that really amounted to anything. There was one, but it was a total friend zone kind of 6 weeks. Great person, just not the right fit. I had a date this weekend and i
