yasssss!

So, my pants DON'T fit and it's because they are TOO big. This is heaven.

I realized over the past weeks that my pants have been feeling more loose. I thought they were just getting old and worn out. Then, my Mom sent me new pants for my birthday and they were super loose. Well, come to find out I've lost nearly THIRTY pounds. I didn't really think I had done anything much different in my life, but now that I'm some how by a miracle of God shedding this weight it has motivated me to keep pushing forward. 

Some of my friends will never believe what I'm about to say next; are you ready for this? I. drink. water. Insert shreaks here. I've began to drink water throughout the day and it's not all that horrible. I also take the steps at work all the time. This is something that would never occur previously. Every day at work I take the steps and think I just may die but I haven't given up.

So pray for my soul that I keep up the good work. 'Cause I really don't want to be one of those heavy set ladies walking with a cane.

(Please note pants pulled way up and handfuls of material in the legs)

Ten years of anything in life is a long time. Ten years of marriage goes by in a blink. A BLINK. We started this journey together back in September of 1998 as two stupid kids who couldn't be separated. After six years together we finally got married. Today, I've been flooded with memories of this life together. We had struggles with infertility and after many failed attempts and a surgery we were blessed with three beautiful children. We've moved four times and the latest and greatest being nearly 1,200 miles away from our family. We've been broke and we've been flush. It's been a good life, with a fair share of hardships and blessings. I'm so thankful the hardships didn't break us and the blessings continue to pour in.  

Cheers to my husband that he continues to love me for many, many more years...

cheers to October

It's the most wonderful month ever created, no?

Tommy-gun found a job this past week, whoop-whoop! Since accepting his current job he's been contacted for three other jobs, true story. 

October makes me miss my besties something fierce. It's a time when we meet for my birthday and spend a day in Lancaster shopping and eating. Our little tradition. There will be none of that this year.

I'll be turning THIRTY on the 12th of this month; who'd of thunk. Talking with my Dad he reminded me "I'm getting old" and then followed it with a "shit, I'm getting old...I'm 64." That man cracks me up.

Other fun events this month are Tom and I's 10th wedding anniversary on the 9th. It's so funny to think about time and all that it swallows up. I feel like we were just married and here it is 10 years and three babies later. 

I'm still on my quest for an awesome church like we had back in Delaware. There are a TON of baptist mega churches and approx. two churches in the PCA. One of the churches is Korean. Ho-hum....navigating new churches is kind of scary. 

Han and Car are doing soccer now, this has been a fun experience. They have their second game this coming Saturday and at last nights practice Carter scored his first goal!
