Gosh darn it.  Why have I been SO lazy to update?  Well, it's been quite a hectic time these past 6 months or so for us here.

Bob took a promotion to the management team at Bradley Int'l control tower in Windsor Locks and he was commuting from Westerly, RI to Bradley for five months.  186 miles a day, and hour and a half each way.  It drained him both physically and emotionally.  He's down 110 lbs in his RNY weight loss and looks so awesome.  I've never seen him this thin in the 12 years I've known him.  My hot man!

We wanted the kids to finish out the school year in Westerly, so, we put our house on the market, sold it in three weeks, and moved here to Windsor, CT on June 18th.  We LOVE it here!!  Bob's family is right in town and we love having our family so close.  Why we moved away in the first place, I'll never know.

Bob's Mom is great.  She is so active for her age and takes such great pride in her grandchildren.  She picks them up, takes them to the pool, for ice cream, to the park, hiking and builds forts with them.  It keeps her young, I swear. She doesn't look like she's going to be 70 this year. (shhh, don't tell her I told you!)

Bob's sisters also live in town.  Having the cousins here is also great for our kids.  Plus, the kids met new neighbor children that they play with.  A lot better than the grief and strife they were put through with the Westerly neighborhod kids that were so mean to both Anna and Tim.  What a difference!

As far as weight loss goes.  I've not lost (nor gained) any weight for one year.  I will admit that I could exercise more and sometimes make better choices in food, but I'm active enough with trail biking with the kids and running around with them and shopping for hours on end to furnish and attire my new home and newly svelte husband that has to now wear dress clothes to work!  Oh, he looks gooooodddd!!!

I'm so happy, can you tell?  My moods are even and except for some stress in the move and exhaustion from all the packing, keeping the old house spotless for showings, and then moving, unpacking, getting settled and having the kids home all summer...I'm tired and a bit stressed!  But, Bob's commute is just 12 minutes each way now and 6 miles!  Yee HA!

Haven't taken any new pictures of me in a bit.  Gonna have to have Bob find the camera and take some.  

No vacation this summer except 6 Flags season passes.  New job and expense of moving didn't allow for one. That's ok.  This beautiful home we were able to get is vacation enough to me.  Finally I have a house (they've all been wonderful, don't get me wrong) that feels like "ah, I'm home".  It's beautiful and we just purchased some new things to make it even better.  The kids got new bedroom sets with bunk beds!  They're SO happy!

I see Dr Aranow on Aug 29th for my much long overdue appointment.  I skipped my last one and he tracked me down via certified mail practically ordering me to come in!  He keeps me on his radar, that's for sure!  I've had my blood done twice this year by another doctor, though and all was fine...but I"ll go...and let him slap my wrists when I see him.

Hope everyone has had a wonderful summer!
