Update on my life...

Dec 24, 2009

I haven't posted in a really long time. I feel bad because I wish I was more active on here, but I've just been so caught up in my life. There have been a LOT of changes.

So, here's a brief run down of what's been going on in my life over the last couple months.
As of today, I've officially lost 82lbs since surgery in July. I feel AMAZING! I'm wearing a sz 10 jeans and it is the smallest I've been since elementary school.  There are days that I don't feel as small as I am. I look in the mirror and see the same girl I was months ago. It truly does take some time for your mind to catch up with your body.

Earlier this year I decided that I was going back to school not matter what. At the same time, I started looking for a new job that had tuition reimbursement (since the one I had was lacking in that department). I am pleased to say that I was very successful in the search and found a job working for UPMC that not only provides tuition reimbursement but also allows me to work nights and weekends so that I can take classes whenever I need. I went and enrolled at the local community college to get some of my pre-reqs out of the way on the cheap, and I plan on transferring to PITT next year to finish my bachelors and get my masters in Speech-Language Pathology. Hell, they'll even pay for me through my doctorate... so I may not stop...

AND here's the BEST news! Jason and I are getting married... on TUESDAY! We decided a couple weeks ago that we wanted to get married but neither of us wanted to plan a big event... so why not elope! We are having a family only ceremony at our mayor's office in the afternoon and then we're planning a BBQ reception for the spring. We've been keeping this whole thing on the DL. We just told our families a few days ago and we're not telling our friends until after we do it. We just want to shock everyone.  (Jena, Kike and whoever else is on my FB... PLEASE don't say anything on there.) I just need to tell someone, somewhere... and this is the safest place! I'm so excited to be his wife. It's the greatest gift. I feel so blessed.

Well... that's about it for now.

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
