So this is were I will begin on the year 2009.  It's been nothing but shear havoc from one side of it to the other side and then everywhere in between.  I am grateful for the few dear friends I have hung on through the trials and tribulations of 2009, as it shows me that you're all truly my dearest friends.  I'm ever so grateful to have you in my life.

I had many events going on this year that could have sent a shock to anyone's system who didn't already have health problems pending, let alone mine.  We got less than 1 week notice they were deploying my husband into BC3 (Convoy duty) and he had to try cram all this training into a matter of days, plus pack.  It was utter chaos.  My stress level went through the roof, but I managed to survive.  Did a little traveling, a lot of shopping, and had a lot of fun with the kiddos.  I talked to him almost every day.  Time went by fast and soon enough he came home to us!

I had a nearly full Hysterectomy (I still have one ovary) in mid-Sept.  It's thrown my system out of whack, but I should have the results on that soon, I hope.  They ran extensive tests and I hope to get good news from them. 

The inevitable thing happened after my Hysto that I'd so been trying to avoid for many years.  I gained back 10 lbs.  I know most people, to include my own doctors, say that 10 lbs is no big deal, but to me it is.  I'm just having to learn to cope with it and it's hard.  Maybe I am really just too hard on myself.  I still fit all my clothes.  I am well within a normal, healthy BMI, and everyone says I look no different/that I look great.  I think I really am just paranoid about the weight.  I went ahead and I hid the scale from myself.  I am giving myself a nice long vacay from it.  I am going to get over these body issues once and for all and they will never beat me again... that's my good spirit speaking out here!!

Speaking of vacay~ We will be on one come Feb and March!  We'll be in Northern Cali and St Louis and that whole surrounding area.  If any of friends are in those areas, I'd love to do a meet-up!  I'd love to meet as many of y'all as I can!  Let me know as soon as y'all can and we'll start planning up something.

~ Much love ~
