Where have I been?

Well, I have been working full time, raising kids, keeping a house, being a wife, and losing weight!

And as of this week, we are now back in Youth Ministry. DJ took a position at the church here in town and that in itself is a huge undertaking. I hope we can balance it all. He will keep his full time job at the steel mill too. So...busy, busy.

I am so happy with life right now though. Losing this weight has been amazing and I know I would've never been able to keep up with a life this full before. I just didn't have the stamina.

I will try to get some updated pics up soon. I can't find my camera but I know it's around here somewhere. I am down to 186 lbs. as of this a.m. It feels wonderful! It has been so worth it.

I am getting braces in the next couple months as well. I have to get spacers put in next week, then teeth pulled, more spacers, then the brackets go on. I hope I don't look too crazy lol. I feel weird being 28 yrs old and getting braces, but I want that perfect smile to go along w/ my thinner self. LOL :)

The kids are doing great... Gabe is my little man, and is growing up too fast. Hannah brought home straight A's on her midterms again and Abby is still my prissy little precious princess. ;)

Life is amazing. :)
