its been WAY too long! i am so sorry!! 

nothing much going on except the same old, same old. still struggling with my food issues, exercising all of the time, and just trying to stay sane. works been okay. i'll get to hang out with my family in a couple weeks for my dad's birthday, his 4 year heart surgery success anniversary and fathers day. other than that, the weather is finally getting nicer! WOOT WOOT! sorry for nothing really to report!

Oh and the Twins are DOING amazingly awesome! they are in 1st place and have been AMAZING! so that's exciting! unfortunately Nastia didn't win DWTS, she got 4th, which was DUMB! 

other than that, nothing much else is going on. how are you guys???

wow. life has been crazy. but good. but VERY crazy!

so much has been going on and instead of telling you i will update you, i am going to tell you the truth and say that this is my update (LOL!):

so work has been going well, today was actually a great day, HOORAY! and its Friday and its payday! We all went out as a group with most of our doctors, which was so much fun! and then today the one doctor who doesn't talk to us a lot actually struck up a conversation with some of us, it was so bizarre, but so good! I just wish I could get all my North girls to come to south and then i would be all set!

Life has been fun too! I went to Stars on Ice in mid March, and I went solo- I couldnt afford to take my dad anymore and still sit as close as I like too! and i will get as close as I can to Katia FREAKIN Gordeeva who is one of my skating crushes!!! such a great show!

then Lisa and I went to Chris Tomlin's concert at the end of March, which was SOOOO fabulous! That same weekend I also went to see Cinderella with Lori and Byork (who was in town) and now just missing Stephanie who moved down south to be with her mom, so sad.

Church update: I've been apart of a new church in St. Cloud called the Crossing and its SOOOOOO good! I love the rock n' roll concert vibe and the pastors are SOOOO good and so funny and engaging and we are going through a really great series about words hurting and how the saying "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me" which is SOOOO not true! I've met some great people there and have reconnected with some Crossroads people too!!

phew! im exhausted just thinking about everything going on! and trying to remember everything I'm forgetting!!

OH! DWTS is AWESOME this season! my girl Nastia Liukin (2008 olympic gold medal gymnast) is killing it with my guy Derek Hough, and the twins season has started and it didn't go so well the first week, but we are now on a 3 game win streak!

Things are great, how are you????? Update me please!!

wow-its been way too long! i am soooooo sorry!

just a brief update-things are okay with me, i guess. work has been kind of hard lately and I decided to keep my lease for another year, but i still love that townhouse i mentioned last time, so i don't know. my sister just put in an offer on a townhouse for herself, so its kind of nice to be able to learn from my big deetie through this process.

im still struggling with food, ugh!!! i went home last weekend and hung out with my family for my sisters birthday and its nice to know that im not alone in this struggle.

nothing much else is going on. i am looking forward to later this month as I am going to Stars on Ice in a couple weeks and this going to see Chris Tomlin in concert with Lisa the weekend after! YAH! so exciting!!!

i could defintely use prayers!!! life has been so crazy lately! UGH!

PS I checked out a new church a couple weeks ago called the Crossing and it meets on Thursday nights and its like a rock concert, it really reminds me of Crossroads, so prayers about a new church home are appreciated!!!

i feel so calm and at peace

so its Tuesday night and I've been off work since last Friday as I am puppy sitting for my parents and its been such a nice retreat and i just feel so calm and relaxed, i've been able to work out, read, blog (finally right?) and just do whatever I want whenever I want. I even found my mom's wedding dress and tried it on and it fits!!!! craziest thing ever!

other than that, things have been going well. i started to see a therapist and its surprising to me how i was able to open up to her and very therapeutic, no pun intended! LOL!

im really struggling right now with weight watchers, i used to track everything and be so good, but now Ive been having cheat days that have turned into cheat weeks and its scary how quickly the weight can come back on, so i am going back on plan after this week since Sara and I are celebrating Christmas (i know, its super late, but i love still having Christmas to look forward too!) LOL! and then its time to take my Christmas stuff down and fgure out my living situation. I moved a year ago in May and I love my place, but its so expensive and I always feel like I need to budget, budget, budget. the interesting thing is is that I found a cute townhouse for sale that is literally a 40 second drive (i mapquested it) from work and it was built in 2007, i know there is no way I can get moved into a new place by the end of Feb (as that is when I need to tell my landlord what I am planning) but I am crazy scared and excited about buying a place. Im not sure if im ready for it, but I hope to sit down with my parents and talked about it when they are home.

well that pretty much got you up to speed, how are you? any helpful tips about staying on track on any weight loss plan would be SOOOOO appreciated. It is definetly easier to lose the weight, than to maintain. ugh.

I read this today-wowza! its been nice to have more time for God, but I need to make sure I set aside time for him everyday and not just when i have time to "fit him in!".

Have a good rest of the week everyone, and i could use some prayers for going back to work, which is always hard after having time off! UGH!!!!

Happy New Years 2015!!

I can't believe its 2015, that is just so crazy!!!!

Sara and I had so much fun ringing in the new year-we had EP (DER!!) and apparently we didn't get the memo that the mall was going to close soon, so we started just shoveling food in! LOL!!! I started to talk and she was like "stop talking and eat!"

after eating we went to Clearwater to see the Christmas lights, which I think was our 3rd annual and so much fun!

then after the lights we went to Sara's and got our pajamas on and just chilled and watched boy meets world episodes! I love when we just chill out! we had to set our alarm to even remember to watch the ball drop and we barely made it, and then literally I went to bed right after midnight! its so weird being a morning person!

such a fun way to start the new year, I hope everyone has a great 2015!

since I'm on year 2 of keeping my weight loss resolution from 2013, I've decided to make my new goal to find a boyfriend and to stop talking about how much I want one, and actually do something about it.

Also another goal would be for me to be more outgoing, I feel like since I've lost the weight I've become a lot more quiet and shy and I'm not really sure why, so those are my new goals! what about you?

Happy New Year! Let's make it great!
