Does Size Really Matter?

YES!!!!!!!!!!

When it comes to the size of your pants!!! Those of you that see me regularly know that I have been losing weight. I started around October last year and to date have lost 56 lbs. I've been waiting to get new clothes until I reach my personal goal, only 9 lbs to go. Yesterday for kicks I tried on some jeans because I wasn't even sure what size I would be in now. I am happy to report that I can fit into a size 16! Most women would still consider that a big size but when I was a size 22 last winter, this is a huge deal for me. I haven't been in the teens in years. Soon I will get new clothes and not need my belt to cinch up my pants every day. A couple of Sunday's ago I got up in the middle of Sacrament Meeting to take the baby out and O was sitting on a part of my skirt and I almost lost it. Luckily my shirt was long enough that no one saw that my skirt was down around my hips!

Congratulations! I think you are looking great! But I think moms with cute babies in their arms always look extra beautiful. You'll be pants shopping before you know it!

I should post pictures. I see myself in past pictures and now I say, "look how fat I was" instead of "look how skinny I was"! As far as a reward for meeting the goal, I don't know what I'll do. I do know that new clothes are in order the old ones are literally falling off of my body at this point.

Today we went to our new ward.  We still have one more week in our current ward but we just wanted to check it out, get our faces known, and possibly drum up some help to unload a moving truck in a couple weeks. Can I just say it was amazing!  We've been to this ward before when Chris was on the High Council so there were a few familiar faces.  That wasn't the amazing part... For the last 2 1/2 years Chris has struggled going to church.  The first year was due to the fact that he was in the hospital and fighting for his life and was unable to physically attend.  Frankly the whole family struggled that year and we stayed home for months because it was too painful to go.  The last year and a half Chris has struggled due to anxiety and panic about church.  He still has a testimony and loves the Gospel, he helps get the kids ready for church and attends when he can but for the most part I'm a single mom when it comes to church attendance.  He cann...

Sometimes life changes and we are all trying to catch up

From day one I could tell there was something different about L...he is my 4th child and right from the start I could tell.  I didn't know I could tell.  I knew he was different from my other kids but I didn't have a clue as to why, or what our future would bring. L was my most sweet baby.  All babies are sweet you say, all babies are different.  I know all babies are sweet but I mean this baby was SWEET.  He slept through the night almost from day one, to a mom 6 hours is like an eternity so I'm calling it through the night.  He rarely cried.  When he did and all the normal boxes were checked, feeding, changing, hot/cold, he just wanted to be left alone.  He would lay for hours on the floor on a blanket and watch life happen.  Then he would just fall asleep and take a nap and it was wonderful.  Being a mom of many kiddos it was like this baby was sent to me on purpose to make it easy.  Usually I have a baby and think "I'm not eve...

Our 68 Whiskey

All the fretting and studying and worrying and starving paid off!  K scored an excellent score on her ASVAB, better than most people!  She was able to pic the MOS (job) that she wanted and is happily enlisted in the US Army as a 68W (combat medic).  She has a ship out date of June 21 2017 but when she gets her diploma in her hot little hand in December she will renegotiate her contract and try and leave earlier.  This is a huge sigh of relief for her and a bit of a sigh of anxiety for her momma!  That's ok she is following her dream and doing what she will love.  I have faith that she will succeed!  Love that girl of mine.
