A new year ahead!

On this day 5 years ago my wonderful husband asked me to marry him! Aww I love that man!
I can't believe its been that long. I remember it like it was yesterday!

Anyways, this year has had it's ups and downs. I would say I have had more ups than I had downs so I can't really complain.

My husband deployed this year and I must say that was a down. Besides that and everything that comes with it I have had a pretty good year.

I started a weight loss journey with my best friends. I am proud of myself. I still have ways to go, but so far I have lost about 40 pounds. I don't think I could of done it with out the help of my friends (they know who they are.) They have helped me reach my goals and have been amazing in so many other ways. I love them with my whole heart!

I attended many concerts this year. What a blast my summer was. Some of those I attended were Joe Nichols , Tim McGraw , Sugarland , Little Big Town , Martina Mcbride, and Rascal Flatts. I enjoyed all of these with great company.

I started a new path and took on the program to become a Medical Transcriptionist/Editor . I love it and can't wait till I am done with schooling.

These are just some of the things that 2011 brought to me. With the new year ringing in I couldn't be happier to get moving into 2012. I have so much to look forward to this new year. My husband will be back from deployment, I will finish up school, my sister gets married and I know many more things. I hope all of you have had a great year and hope that 2012 will be great to you! =)

P.I.N.K.

I have started a new workout plan. It called the P.I.N.K Method you can check it out HERE.
I am only on day 2 of this program, but so far I am enjoying it. I hear the first couple of days are the hardest and well that's for sure.

You start the program off by what they call a reset for your body. You are just limited to what you can eat. Its really not as bad as it sounds, Promise!

I am down 2 pounds already after the 1st day. I am looking forward to this new workout adventure so stay tuned for more to come on this.

I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas =)

No title!

I know its been awhile. But I just feel like I never have much to say. So here we are now..

I made the 14 hour drive to my home town for thanksgiving. Along the way I realize how much gas stations stink and how much my mom has to pee lol ;) (she will love me for this) Anyways has I have been home for 5 days now I have also realized things that break my heart.

My sister got engaged on her birthday, Nov 18th. She asked me to be her maid of honor well for me matron of honor. I said yes of course. However, it hit me that I will not be here to do everything with her. I had some good cries over that. I want to be apart of it all. I want to go with her everywhere she wants me to go and do things she wants me to. Yes, I will still be able to help her from afar but its just not the same. I even told her she could ask her good friend to be maid of honor since she will be the one here helping her. My sister of course said no way! (gosh I love her).
I kind of had her jump the gun and asked her if she would mind trying on wedding dresses while I was here so I could experience her doing that. She agreed and found one she loves! I was so happy that she agreed to do this. It meant more to me than she will ever know. I know that she will still look around to make sure that first one is the one she wants but that expected. I am just so happy I got to experience something with her =)

The other thing that I have realized since being home is that I miss out alot on things going on.
My grandpa had a stroke a few weeks back. I got the call and felt the need to come home early, but my parents kept saying no that he is fine and will be ok. So when I did get home one of the first stops was the hospital to see my grandpa. Everyone said he looked great and was doing amazing. However, to me I never saw him in his worse state. To me he looked just like grandpa just a skinnier. I am thankful that I didn't have to see him in his worse state but at the same time I wish I could of been here for all of it.

I know this is part of my lifestyle, always being away from blood related family. But coming home this time, I have found myself not wanting to go back. I am thankful for the family that I will be returning to when I do go back to my "home" Without them there I might of just stayed here in Iowa!

So this is where I am Loving being home with my family but missing my family from where my home is.  It's never a win-win! So  I will cherish the time I have here and continue to enjoy it as I will miss them the very second I walk out the door!

On a better note!

I know my last post was depressing so on a better note this one will be positive!
First off I made my way back to the gym today with my two friends who just so happened to be workout buddies too! It was really nice to finally get back at it! Looking forward to keeping it up too! I mean I only have around 3 months to get it together! So operation butt kicking is now in force.

On an other note after being sick and I guess I still am fighting this cold off. I finally got back to my school work. I was was pretty excited when I completed my test with 100% last night. I also am going to just say that I am so proud of myself for keeping everything at 90% or above! =) Go Me! So now I just need to crack down and make myself do it everyday and I'll be happy!

Besides all of that, I can't wait for November to get here. I am going home for my sister's 21st birthday and thanksgiving! Right now I would just like to stay in Iowa until January, but that just can't happen.

I am ready for time to keep moving along we are getting closer and closer everyday. May just can't get here fast enough thats for sure!

...

I guess I just always expect more out of people than I should.  I am just in a bad place today and I am ready for today to be over with.
