Shrinking and Traveling

So, because of my nomad-ish lifestyle, I haven't updated in awhile. Here are some updates-

Called my friends Ash and Kevin who live in Newport News, VA and asked if it was ok to stay with her for a couple of weeks. She obliged, thank God, so, I thanked Christina for letting me stay with her and closed my chapter in Dayton.

I drove to Virginia to stay with Ash(one hour away from Joe at Fort Lee).  I was able to book an apt for a few weeks in Fort Lee though, so that I can spend some time with Joe before I head off to Oklahoma and Washington to see family and waste time. I will get to attend Ash and Kev's Baby Shower here in VA as well, so I am super excited! Did I mention Joe and I introduced them at our wedding? Kev was Joe's roommate once and Ash, I knew from OU. They got married and now have procreated! Yay! =)  

Here are some pics of my shrinking if you were wondering-

I feel like I am definitely changing!

Home Alone

Well, last week went by fast.  Monday, April 30th, we finally had our walk through to clear base housing. I hired a cleaning lady who guarantees a pass.  She was awesome.  We were clearly meant to meet each other because her daughter has been contemplating weight loss surgery(WLS) for a few years now and apparently having met me spurred her on to help her daughter make a more educated decision. She's on her way this summer to getting surgery. Im soo happy for her!  Its things like this when you realize that God always places people in your life for a reason! I am soooo happy I had surgery and wouldnt change a thing! 

As of May 1st I was at 197.4 which puts me at about a 38lbs loss. Yay!(I usually weigh in on Monday, but Monday, as mentioned, was a crazy day) So, I will weigh in again, tomorrow. (also, I usually weigh in on my weight watchers scale but I accidentally forgot to keep it with me, so I will be weighing in at the gym or wherever until I get it back umm....who knows when! haha). 

Here's me in the mall- 

since I was trying on clothes right before this, I figured I'd just take advantage of the full length mirror.  These jeans and top I purchased a few weeks ago at GAP. LOVE GAP and am soo glad I can officially fit back into their jeans in store. YAYAY!

Anyway, Joe began his drive to Virginia that same day and I am staying with my fabulous friend Christina until further notice of what I'll be doing next. Friday, we are throwing a baby shower for our friend, Tiffany, so this week should be fun getting ready for that. 


Friday, I got to help celebrate a friend's birthday at Olive Garden for lunch and at the Base Club for dinner. We had a load of fun all day and will treasure those times. Yesterday, I went with my friends Cathy and Matt and we saw Avengers. I liked it and can't wait for the next one!  


Well, I am missing my hubby and scrambling to get last "see ya laters"(no goodbyes)in with friends. Its always sad, but always a treat to know that everywhere I go, I meet the most amazing people. So grateful for the people God puts in my life.
