Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary!

I have not posted in my blog in almost a year. Maybe I will try it again. I want to wish my husband Lee a Happy Anniversary. 27 years ago, I married my best friend. We are closer now than ever. We have 3 beautiful children, a very special daughter in law, a sweet grandson, two cats, and an adorable dog. I remember that day well. Early that morning, I remember two of my bridesmaid-friends bringing me bags of one of everything from Hardee's menu for breakfast. Then we went to the apartment pool and jumped in with all our clothes on. That day, many people participated and donated food and time to help us with our ceremony. Songs were sung, vows were cited, and I was very fortunate to have my dad be able to walk me down the aisle. All of our friends were there and it was a special day. That night, we drove to Dillon, SC for our first night and then the next day we drove back home to be at his cousin's wedding. After that we stayed at Kings Dominion for several days and then came back home. All this time, we have been committed to one another never looking elsewhere for comfort. We are closer now than ever before and I can honestly say that he is still my best friend. Thanks to all our friends and family who have always been there and supported us. We love you all.

New Journey - The New Real Me

Image
Well, I have started a new journey. Life has changed in so many ways in the past 6 months. We moved to another state, Lee and I both took new jobs, we left our oldest to finish high school, just to name a few. I have been able to seek medical help with my asthma and sleep apnea, which have GREATLY improved life for me. I have also decided to proceed with gastric bypass surgery at the end of the summer. This is not a decision I took lightly and have prayed and thought a lot about it. It seems to me that the benefits far outweigh the risk. I have so many health concerns and this is by no means the easy way out. I thought that at one time, however I have been educated on the real deal for weight loss surgery. This is going to be a hard journey, but worth it in the long run. Baby steps. I will take MANY, but eventually I will come out on the other side walking proudly. My first goal is to lose 15 pounds before I go back to the nutritionist and fitness specialist at the end of this mo

The New Me

About this blog: I do not usually do this. I am hoping to have great success this time because I have much to say and would like to have a place to say what is on my mind without having a lot of bad mouth back at me. (unless warranted-it could happen) I am at a new place in my life and would like to start fresh with a new lease on life and what I can offer it and what it can offer me in return. A little background: I have just celebrated my 37th birthday this past week. I have been married to the same wonderful man for 17 and 1/2 years. Together, we have 3 beautiful children (Two boys 12 and 7, One girl 3). I have just completed my Associates Degree over the summer and am continuing with online classes in pursuit of a Bachelors Degree in Economics. After my husband graduated in May, we had no clue where we were going. God is showing us big things because he accepted a job as head church planter in a whole other state (14 hours away from home). While I do miss my family, I am totally si

THE MORE I TRY TO CHANGE THINGS, THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME.

No. I refuse to believe that things can't change. I have often tried to change certain aspects of myself or my family with no regard to their own personalities or what God is choosing to do in their lives despite me. Well, no more! This is a new start, a new beginning, a new set of eyes are upon this new chapter. It is no longer about how clean or messy the house is or how much weight I have or have not lost; rather, it is what God is seeing when I react or am proactive to what is going on around me. How can I teach my children how to behave or how to truly follow God if I am not showing the same picture? How can I get mad at them judging me, when I judge them by the same standards? No more. No more guilt. No more frustration. No more judgment. Things ARE different. VERY different than they have ever been. A new set of circumstances is upon me. Everyone is waiting to see how I react. Will I over-dramatize like usual? Probably, it is after all in my nature. But that does not mean I
