Well I thought I would update my dear friends about what is been goin on with me. I have not been on much due to marriage issues which i had mentioned and my daddy still fighting parkinsons and alzheimers. My son will be graduating from high school soon , off to Texas Tech to be a History Teacher. My daughter is in Junior High and doing so good at her new school. My marriage is getting there...lol. we are going to counceling and it has improved many things all around. We have "date nights" , we go out on dates or sometimes just lay in the bed and talk. its really nice. My favorite band in the world ~ DEF LEPPARD! has just announced their world tour. no texas dates as of yet but I am planning to go see them in vegas!!! Cant wait for that in April! yay! My dogs are great. We moved into a nice condo out in the country. away from nosey in laws and parents..lol. I am still working for my Salsa company in HR. Things are good there. always a deadline but still good. hey at least I have a job right? My best friend Gina and I try to have lunch once a month and catch up. She is doing well. It will be a year her husband passed on next week. I cant beleive it. She has started to date. Says is bizarre being back in the dating scene at 40. I can only imagine. lol. 
Well, thats about it in a nut shell. I have new pics that I have to put up and I promise I will do that very very soon. I now weigh 144lbs , i am a size 9-10, my health is good. I really havent lost anymore weight in about a month and a half but its steady and okay with me. Daddy is doin ok . he does not remember me and that is hard sometimes but, he is alive and doing ok. 

Love yall!

Well I have not been on in so long. I am sorry for that. I have missed this site. I am having marriage issues right now. My husband has become distant and very jealous. He hates that I have lost 100lbs and that I get stares and comments from people. I cant really blame WLS for all of our issues but, I have to say they have come to light nore so now that I am thinner. We have had our ups and downs but we managed to survive and now...I just dont know. Ever feel like you had all the answers and now you have none? I do. I feel fantastic health wise but personally, i am lost.

My best friend of 20 + years lost her husband last week. I was horrified and saddend. I have been there and she has been there for me since we were in the 9th grade. Our kids grew up together until she moved out of state for 4 years then when she returned I was so happy. I have to say it was hard to grasp all this. Losing the love of her life. He was quiet and timid but always had a smile on his face. All i know is he made her happy. He adopted her older son. Tells you what kind of guy he was. now she just passed her RN boards with flying colors and I am so proud of her. I want to give her gift and i think i may do that. This makes me think about life. I just saw them 2 weeks ago at my daughters birthday party. He was cordial and friendly. They were happy. and then one day changed that. Life is so fragile. I knew this but now moreso. The funeral is tomorrow and I have asked my husband to go with me. Its funny you think you are the strongest person in the world then something like this happens and you arent anymore. I guess im thinking Where do you go from here now? I mean I wouldnt know what to do . does anyone?

I am living the life I am suppose to live. I have lost so much weight that I had to break down and buy some jeans. Size 14. It was an amazing feeling. I went to the mall with my sister and I can recall being out of breath when we were done shopping , now I can go 2 hours of shopping with her and still feel fine. I am so happy!  I dont really want to buy a lot of clothes just yet. I want to wait awhile.  I feel like I am almost there!!!!!

I have to say it. My husband is pretty awesome. He was craving Lasagna and made some last night for him and the kids. He knew I couldnt eat that so he made me a tuna salad with crackers. I thought that was so nice. I think I will keep him..lol. I can honestly say I love this man and he makes me smile daily.

Today I weighed myself. I dont like to do that much. I mean only when I go to Dr. Patel's for a visit. I just dont trust anyone's scale. I weigh 196lbs! I cannot believe it. It has been so long since I weighed under 200. Things are getting back to normal at my house. Xmas always makes our house crazy. The kids had a great xmas which is more important than anything. My nephew is here from Virginia. He is in the Army. He will be here for a few more days. It was so great to see him. He looks so good. I will miss him but I know that this is what he wanted to do. I couldnt be more proud. My boys(def leppard) will be recording an album this year , in fact they should be working on it now. They promise to release it before the end of 07. That would be a first. I hope so. They are perfectionists, takes them a year or two to do an album. This weekend is new years. We are going to my sister in laws mothers home. She is awesome. She has this huge house and we always have a good time. Cant wait.  I think I will take the tree down too. I hadnt planned on it till next weekend but might as well do it. I can feel curves. It is so weird. I can feel the arches of my back, my hips. Its a good feeling. I wear a size 14 in jeans and XL in shirts. sometimes even a large. I think my feet are shrinking too. I promise to make this year the best. I need to find God. I go to church but I would like to make that a weekly thing. I am thankful for my health, my family, my friends , so many things. I just want God to know that. This surgery is the best thing I have done, next to my kids.
