Alot has been going on.....


Alot has been going on.... Most of you know a few months ago Ronnie and I seperated. I was never sure what was going to happen, honestly. So for all these months, he and I have been doing our own things. Talking almost everyday. But finally after much thought, we decided it was time to move on. Our divorce was final a couple of weeks ago.


Its really strange! The last 7 years, my life has been Ronnie. I dont really know what to do with myself right now. One thing for sure is I'm getting myhappy self back in church. God has to be my number 1 before i can be any good to anyone else.


So please be praying for him and I as we start our new journey.


Falling a little behind on blogging!!! lol

I just love this pic of us!!!!

A black cloud kinda day....


Hi everybody,


I know I have not been real great at this blogging stuff, but here are a few updates:


~I am holding steady at 30lbs lost. WOOHOOO!!!!


~I am playing softball now on Sunday afternoons, it is an absolute blast!!!!


~My dad is doing ok. For those of you who don't know, our dobie Shadow that survived the fire, had to be put down 3 weeks ago. Very very hard for my dad, and the rest of this. In 3-4 months dad has been with us, he has lost his home, his mom, and now Shadow. My dad is such a great guy... we can only encourage and pray that he will know that everyone goes through these times, and that God is just carrying him. With my dad being home it has also reminded me of something for my future..... not bashing my ex husband, but dad has reminded me of the meaning of opening doors... just because, and that ladies first is the number one rule. Being around dad reminds me of when we were little and every chair, door, car door was always opened. i love my dad!!!


~My mom is doing great! I'm so proud of her! She joined weight watchers and has lost 14lbs in 6 weeks. She is doing great! She quit smoking and it has just been awesome! I'm so proud of her!


~Trish is such a blessing in my life! I couldn't have been blessed with a better sister! She is just an angel.... and keeps me laighing alllll day long! I'm so proud of her, she graduates school on May 2nd! If you would have asked me 2 years ago if she would ever go to school I would have said no way!!!! And now look at her.... all beautiful and grown up and graduating college!!!


~Sammy Sam and Miss Madi are crazy as ever!!! They "needed", well not really needed, but I saw a new kennel and had to treat them with thier very own Weenie dog condo!!! lol It is hilarious it is so big!!! And they have pleanty of space.... they are sooo good!


WOW!!!! I know your eyes are tired now!!! lol


Love you all!!!!!!

29lbs...

I am holding steady at 29lbs LOST!!!!

I can't see it yet... but I'm continuing to workout. I started playing softball, so I'm hoping that helps.


Other than that.... I had a good Easter. And everything else is going good.

Just wanted to stop by and update!

Good morning....


Just a little update! Things have been a little crazy around my house.... I am still working out. I have kinda plateaued (spell check please). Still down a little over 20lbs. So I'm still working hard. I have increased my water intake... but I love water! Unlike Robin who does not... ha ha I have cut almost everything in half that I eat. Anytime I go out to eat, as soon as I get my food, I immediately ask for a to go box..... Trust me it helps!!!!


Anyhow, other than that.... everything is going good!

Here....

There's a place I've been looking for
That took me in and out of buildings
Behind windows, walls and doors
And I thought I found it
Couple times, even settled down
And I'd hang around just long enough
To find my way back out
I know now the place that I was trying to
Reach Was you, right here in front of me

[CHORUS]And I wouldn't change a thing
I'd walk right back through the rain
Back to every broken heart
On the day that it was breakin'
And I'd relive all the years
And be thankful for the tears
I've cried with every stumbled step
That led to you and got me here, right here

It's amazing what I let my heart go through
To get me where it got me
In this moment here with you
And it passed me by
God knows how many times
I was so caught up in holding
What I never thought I'd find
I know now, there's a million roads
I had to take
To get me in your arms that way

[Repeat Chorus]In a love I never thought I'd get to get to-here
And if that's the roadGod made me take to be with you

[Repeat Chorus]And I'd relive all the years
And be thankful for all the tears
I've cried with every stumbled step
That led to you and got me here, right here Oh, baby-OooOh, got me here

Goodbye Mr Stevens....

I knew this morning.. something felt different. For months now, I have watched as my friend Audrey's dad has gone through chemo and stage 3 cancer. Working in a cancer center, I know all this well. I watch everyday as our patients come in, get thier chemo, and go home to battle thier cancer. Ed's cancer was completely gone 2 months ago... the doctors couldn't explain it. No one could explain it. And then 4 weeks ago.. it came back a vengence.

I have been texting Audrey every so often... just to see how she was holding up and how Ed was. This morning was like any other morning... I text her on the way to work. NOTHING!!! SO I thought no big deal, I bet she is working. Well, Audrey and I have a relationship where no matter what is going on in our lives.... if we are thinking about the other one its because something is going on.

I got her call about 2, that her daddy had passed away. Mr Stevens was a wonderful man. He took care of his four girls when he and thier mom got divorced. He was a loving father. He always came to all our ballgames.... everything he was there. He even grounded me one time and I wasnt even his kid! Well, Audrey and I had gone teepee'ng... and had gotten ourselves into trouble...lol

Anyhow, I just wanted to share why today was so different!

RIP Ed!
You will be greatly missed!

I did it!!!!



20lbs down!!!!!
Woooohoooooooooo!!!!!!

Wow... has it been awhile!!!!




)) My Sammy Sam((

So it has definately been awhile. I guess lets start with an update on my dad. He has been staying with us while his home is being repaired. I'm thankful my mom has the room, but I also know how difficult it has been for the two of them.... being divorced for almost 10 rs and all!!!

Lets see.... in about 30 days, Ronnie and I will be divorced. After months of fighting... we have everything set in stone. It has been a hard few weeks. But we both know and respect the others decisions. We will always remain good friends. And I wish him nothing but the best.

Other than that, I am still working out and losing weight. I am offically down 18lbs!!! So that is very exciting. I weigh tomorrow, so maybe it will be more. I have cut what I eat completely in half. It has been helping me.

Work has been very busy! I always have alot going on.

And have I told you lately how thankful I am for my friends????? I just have the most wonderful friends!!!

I think that is all thats going on in this world..... I hope everyone is doing ok!!!

Til next time!

Blah day....

To all my prayer warriors.... this one is from me.

Please be praying for my dad, Steve. He was notified this morning that something was wrong at his house.

Dad went home to his house on fire. Thank goodness he wasn't at home. I just left there and the garage and second bedroom were completely damaged. But funny enough the rest of the house was fine. God was really working here!!!!

The firefighters did rescue our 11 yr old Dobie Shadow. His blankets were laying right in front where the fire started.

Thank you all for your prayers right now! I know my dad can feel them!

A penny for my thoughts..... obviously my piggy bank isn't filling up fast.

While driving down I-40 passing the Ford Center, I soon remembered what we would soon be voting on. A penny sales tax increase to make our NEW Ford Center new again. Only to be reminded what I was driving on or maybe what I wasn't driving on... a crumbling beneath me cross town highway! Can we not fix that first???

Tooo bad we couldn't have fixed that first then the Ford Center.... sorrrrrryyyyy I'm so done with the "lets fix the Ford Center for a NBA team"!!!


Not that I wouldn't like a NBA team here, but then how would I afford to go see a game.....lol

Ok, I'm sorry! I feel better!!!!

I have the problem too!!!!

I like my friend Robin have a problem!!!!!



Tonight, American Idol comes on at 7!

But Ellen ))although I don't agree w/ her lifestyle(( is on Deal or no Deal @7!
Soooooo mom and I have agreed to DVR American Idol, since its 2 hours and watch crazy Ellen on Deal or no deal.....

Why you needed to know all of this, I have no idea!!!!!!
Have a good night!!!!!
Hey Robin, I also had Johnnies for lunch!!!!!!!!
