pre-birthday celebrations!!

i had so much fun last weekend celebrating my birthday a week early with my bestie Sara. It started off with meeting up at Extreme pita! Love that place, so yummy! and good for you too!! i also bought a pair of tennis shoes for Florida, which i will need to keep up with my dad! :)

after the shopping we went back to Sara's and we watched a Walk to Remember, which I just LOVE! so good! after that we were going to look at our old yearbooks, but I feel asleep! YES, me, the girl who never falls asleep early at a sleepover!!! I know, i was shocked too!

so i did get up early the next day and we had fun, we went back to Extreme Pita for lunch, I know we are CRAZY! but its just so good! and then we did some shopping.

then we went back to Sara's and hung out for a bit, it was so much fun! its always nice to hang out with your bestie and forget about your problems!!

the rest of the weekend was FABULOUS too! yesterday was pretty lazy, but still combined with working out so its not technically lazy, and I did go into work for about an hour!! and then i had a marathon facebook conversation with my good friends, so that was fun too! its just been a great weekend! can't wait to hang out with the family on saturday which is my actual birthday! i can't believe I am going to be 29, that is just CRAZY! :)

wow, its seriously been a month since i've updated you guys! I'm sowy. pweeee forgive meee!!!

Life has been CRAZY and I mean CRAZYYYYYY!!! but good! 2013 has been a really good year! I'm now down 68 pounds since joining weight watchers in January, YAH! but unfortunately last week I had my first gain, which stinks. I went 10 months without a gain, but I knew it would happen eventually, and now I am kicking it up a notch and working out more!!!

and guess what, the fun and AWESOMELY awesome holidays are coming up! and Dad and i are going to Disney in just under a month!! EEEKKK! I love DISNEY WORLD!! its the most magical place on earth!

and my birthday is coming up (EEEEKKK!) i'm going to be 29! WOWZA, feeling kinda old! and Christmas and New Years! YAH! and thanksgiving, but I don't like Thanksgiving food, so I've never considered that an awesome holiday, sorry pilgrim lovers!

things are getting better at work, with the transition and stuff; and I'm still trying to figure out where to go to church! I love Crossroads, but I overslept yesterday morning, not good! i don't know what to do. sigh.

I love my small group I'm in, its about the community small group we are transitioning into, so its good! Things are pretty good! I do hope to update you more in the future I've just been so busy! working and working out! CRAZINESS! wish me luck at weigh in this coming week!!

OHHHHH man, its been so long since i've updated you guys!!! sorry!

Life has been crazy busy; and crazy with the good and the bad!

Let's see, the big news is that Wheelchairs Plus (the job I work at) was bought out by a company called Nu Motion, so we are in transition. and its been quite stressful and very chaotic, but I think once we get over the hump, it will be a good thing. We just got trained on the new computer system, and I am now doing service stuff, which is just weird, but its something new to learn so thats good!

Also changes at church. Crossroads stopped doing Saturday night services, which stink. But then we found out that they are transitioning (so sick of change right now!) to small group home church, which means having small groups meet whenever they want too, so I am worried about losing the church structure, I LOVE worship and a message and communion, so I started church hunting and found a good one called the Waters in Sartell, I have been going every other Saturday and going to Crossroads on Sunday because it sounds like the home church thing won't happen for awhile, and I have really grown to love Crossroads and the people there, so I am not sure what to do! I could sure use some prayers!!

Now the good stuff

I've been hanging out with good friends lately. I love my small group from Crossroads Lori, Brenda aka Byork, and Stephanie. Its been so fun getting together with them and just sharing prayer requests with each other.

Been hanging out with Sara too, we've started to go to Extreme Pita on friday nights, which is SOOOOO yummy! We call it EP friday's, we didn't go last friday though because its kinda expensive, but so good for you!!!

And weight watchers is going great, I'm 1.5 pounds away from losing 60 pounds since joining in January!! that is just crazy to me! i feel so much better about myself, and so good that I am able to maintain this. I am honestly shocked when I look in the mirror. I've been cleaning out my closest and trying to sell all my stuff that is too big, just in case I do gain the weight back, then It will be expensive to have to buy bigger clothes!! smart right!

Well this has been a pretty long update, excited that fall is upon is which means all the fun holidays and my birthday are coming up! although I probably won't like birthdays once I hit 30!!!! Eeeekkk!!!! I had always hoped to be married by 30, but we will see what happens, I am working on myself right now, so that perfect guy is just going to have to be patient!!

Better get some sleep!!! night guys!!! sorry for the lack of updates!!!
