STILL Waiting!!!

UGHHH!!!! This is torture!! How long must I endure the painful wait?? (Please no comments of it "building character"....I DON'T CARE!!)

I'm just very anxious! I thought I would be there by now and I'm finding myself stuck in the land of "what if?"...By this I mean questions that cause me to worry like "What if it got lost in the mail??", "What if they are taking so long because they are going to say no??", "What if it takes many months more to get my approval??"...etc! It's all stressful! I only have so much money to stretch out to a certain point! So, my fear is that I will run out of funding and need to get a temp job to make ends meet and Dave will have to pick up my slack more...*pout!* I don't know if my paperwork is coming via normal snail mail or certified mail, UPS, etc. and my biggest worry is that it gets lost! I have tried to remind myself that I DID receive the letter stating that it would take them 5-15 days to get this done and send it back and it's only been 11 working days, so I shouldn't panic till AFTER Friday or Saturday. Just keep me in your prayers k?

Other news, I won't be going and spending time in Colorado after all! (Sooo sad Meg! I was hoping to see you!!) My mom will be back this Wednesday and I was planning on going to help her out, but without her there...I don't know!

In other news, I did start my weight loss plan and tracking on the 15th of November and I'm proud to say that even with Thanksgiving and a two pound gain (141 to 143) I have successfully lost those 2 pounds and another 1 pound to boost (for a whopping weight of 140lbs right now! My goal is to be back at 125lbs)ALSO I was excited to see that I lost a half of an inch in my hips, 1.5 inches loss in my waist! (BIG yay!) and like an inch and a half in my upper thighs!! (whoo hoo!) So there is some positivity for the day! I joined sparkpeople.com and am doing their 28-day challenge (one week down!) which has been cool, I think this week though, instead of doing their 10 minute video's once, I'm going to do the same video twice for more of a challenge! With that I typically do some sort of 30 minute (or so) cardio session 5 times a week! (This is typically either the elliptical or like Wii boxing, running, etc!! Hoping to fit amazingly in my dress and have AWESOME honeymoon pictures! :)

So what now? More of the waiting game! Sorry this post was kinda boring, it's about all that's been going on though! LOL! I will update when I hear more exciting news!!

Love you all!!

In my experience if "they," meaning anyone, says 15 days, it's usually 15 days or more. LAME! Keep your head up, you'll be on your way before you know it. :)

Bummer to no Colorado time!! I'm glad we have reconnected online at least. Praying that your paperwork arrives soon!! Don't worry about things you can't control - trust the One who has it all under control. Great Beth Moore quote: "God is never late, but he sure misses a few good opportunities to be early!!"

"The Lead of Love"...

"Looking back at the road so far The journey's left it's share of scars. Mostly from leaving the narrow and straight. Looking back it is clear to me, that a man is more than the sum of his deeds, And how you make good of this mess I've made is a profound mystery. Looking back you know you had to bring me through all that I was so afraid of though I questioned the sky now I see why...Had to walk the rocks to see the mountain view looking back I see the lead of love Looking back I can finally see how failures bring humility(I'd rather have wisdom and pain) Brings me to my knees (Than be a comfortable old fool)Helps me see my need for thee..." - "The Lead of Love" from Caedmon's Call. I have really been working on putting the pieces of my life back together and I think that one of the things that have been missing in my life is my spiritual growth. It's something I've been thinking and missing for some time now and think that maybe ...

Facing Fears Head On

We all get scared from time to time. It's not unusual, it's not a feeling only subjected to specific individuals, it can influence anyone. The trick is to admit your scared, figure out why, and face it straight on. I think this is something that I've been facing daily since my divorce (and definitely before but it's been more prominently noticeable since my divorce), back then it was "how will I do this on my own?", "will anyone ever love me or am I even capable of loving someone back?" and maybe the funniest of the bunch: "Am I going to become one of those 'spinsters' with 20 cats?!!?" (I don't even really like cats that much! LOL! I much prefer a dog!) But I think this experience here has been the scariest of all experiences. These are new fears like fitting in, adjusting to the culture, acceptance, being able to work and make a good living, driving, etc. It plays on my mind everyday. I know I can do this, I know that 6 mo...

These Small Hours...

"Our lives are made in these small hours, these little wonders,these twists & turns of fate. Time falls away, but these small hours,These small hours still remain..." I love this song from Rob Thomas, I think it fully embraces one of my favorite things in life: know knowing and appreciating the little things in life. I really feel that a lot of times, it's the small things that can make the biggest impact in one's life, and sadly enough, it's often the things we take for granted the most. When I was in Boise and things felt rough or those "twists and turns of fate" would throw blows at me, I used to drive up to table rock (or area's by that also over-looked the city) when the sun was setting and stars were coming out to think and put things back into perspective. I remember being just in awe of the sight as the sun slowly dipped into the earth and the night city would come alive with the stars making their twinkly appearance above. As I sat the...
