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!!"

Do you think I'm a fool?

Its funny that certain people always thought I would be just a pee on. Well, it's nice for once to see you sweating the bullets! You see, I hate being peed on, but I also know what goes around comes around and with a little bit of hard work and some good karma, all the sudden I don't seem so weak! I love how you think you can play the emotional cards on me such as "Leaving the love of family and close friends!"...What you don't realize is that I don't care...It's not that I don't care about the love of family and close friends mind you, because I do, it's that all my family and friends are completely supportive and excited for me about this, so trying to use them against me is pointless because I already have "their blessings". I've got the love and support from the people I CARE about! It's just that you think I'm impressionable and naive, but what it has come down to is that I say anything just to shut you up! You think your...

It's Been Over a YEAR!!

Last I wrote, I had just moved into my current rental and was getting ready to start an temp job that turned out to be a complete and utter nightmare and end as quick as it began! Thankfully, not a month later I was able to find what is my current job and I can proudly say I have been working out for over a year now with potentials of a promotion and raise! (More details to follow, I don't want to jinx myself just yet, so if you are reading this, please send out all the positive vibes, say a prayer, lots of love and care as this girl could use the boost! Not only would this job be a great step in the right direction for me and my career, it would also put me back on a schedule that I painfully crave to have as my current schedule is a nightmare! Don't get me wrong, my job is good and pay AMAZING...Buuuuttt...The hours are ever changing from day-to-day and week-to-week that its hard to have anything of a life much less see my hubby who is working a lot of hours as well. This ...

Better Things to Come?

So, I have officially packed, unpacked, arranged sorted, decorated, re-decorated (and so forth!) the new home!! YAY!! I absolutely LOVE the new house! It's a great size, not too big, not too small and very cozy! I honestly can see us living here for a long time! (As long as the neighbors aren't crazy! Haha!). It's a semi-dettached home with 3 bedrooms 1 full bathroom and one half bathroom. A nice little living room, dining room and kitchen as well as a back yard with a nice little porch! We have neighbors to our right and left, but none behind us, so we shouldn't bug too many people! I think the best thing about this home is that we have really been able to feel like we could settle into it and really make it our "home". Not just a "house" but a "home". I'm just so pleased beyond words! 2nd good news (and perhaps a start to better things to come!) is that I was asked to work a temp job that starts tomorrow morning! I will work with the...
