Exciting News---Upcoming Trip!!!

Oct 14, 2011

As some of you know I am from Southern Indiana.  I moved to Florida rather quickly in 2007....needed something new, was sick of my job and the people I was associating with so I up and moved one day.  I went back home Thanksgiving 2008 when my father had open heart surgery.  I haven't been back since....BUT I am super excited to say that my vacation request has been approved for November 23-28th so I am going home for Thanksgiving and my birthday (Nov 26) this year.  It is going to be SO VERY nice to see all the people that I haven't seen since 2008.  It will also be nice to see the looks on their face when they see that I have lost a few pounds!!!!!  LOL    I booked my hotel today and since I just got a new car a few months ago I think I am just going to drive it....show it do my dad!!  LOL.
I have so many close true friends in Indiana so it will be so nice to see those who were good friends before I had surgery and who was there for me when I was dealing with the issues with my weight.  I remember going to appointment after appointment trying to get approved in Indiana and never got anywhere.  A friend of mine had an open RNY in like 2005-2006 and lost a TON of weight.  So it will be nice to share stories with her and compare our experiences.  All the guys that I had crushes on and they never even knew that I existed.  And the girls from  high school that was always so negative towards me because I wasn't the long haired cheerleader LOL.  I will get to see them ALL.  I am from a very small town and its sad but not a lot of people have ventured outside to other places.  So I look forward to seeing each and every one of them!    My grandmother has never seen my son, she was in really bad health right after I had Alex so we never went to visit, so I look forward to seeing her.  I also want to take him to my mom's grave so I can introduce him to my mother...his grandmother!  It should be a very fun, exciting, emotional trip.  And I CAN"T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I have even more reason to stop BSing around with my food....and get things back going in the right direction!  #motivation  LOL
