New Week....New WEIGHT!

Hey Hey Frands!! 

New week means.....NEW WEIGHT!!

And I went to weigh in today...well since it's now after midnight Saturday AM...yesterday (Friday)!

After a few weeks of only losing .5 lbs and last week losing .8 lbs....THIS WEEK I LOST 1.4LBS!! 

I was SUPER EXCITED AND SURPRISED!! This whole WALKING/JOGGING THING IS DOING THE TRICK!!! WOOHOO!!!

So far, since February, I have lost a GRAND TOTAL of 72.2 lbs!! I'm still in shock about it! I mean it's just so surreal to me!! Wow...um yes! Well how much  more do I have to go you ask??

I still want/HAVE to lose 56 more lbs!!

Well I know this is short...but sweet! 

Until next week....

♥ kc

As Promised...

Hey Frands!

IT'S FRIDAY!!! 

And...I promised I would blog today about the poundage! 

So here it goes...I LOST .8 LBS! 

I am MAJORLY excited about that because when I weighed this weekend I had gained 5 lbs! Yeah in 2 weeks... so I guess that would average out to 2.5 lbs for last week and the week before! So I was DETERMINED TO LOSE AT LEAST THOSE 5 LBS! AND I DID! For a total of 70.8 lbs all together! Yeah it's getting harder and harder!

I have seriously been STRICT on myself this week! I WALKED/JOGGED 2.4 miles on Monday and 2.8 miles on Wednesday! Not to mention I have been EATING VERY VERY VERY HEALTHY! So... I lost that 5 lbs PLUS .8 LBS!! So 5.8 lbs! YAY! 

I am determined to BECOME AS HEALTHY AS I CAN BE and I am DETERMINED TO RUN THOSE MILES INSTEAD OF HALF WALK AND HALF JOG! 

Here's to more POUNDAGE LOST next week...

Oh My...2 WEEKS Since My Last Post! Oops!

Hello Frands!

I can't believe it's been 2 weeks since my last post! Sorry!  I've just been SUPER busy with quizzes--test and school! Then of course our CRUISE last week!!

I have no news about the poundage as of today! I didn't get to weigh in last week because we were STILL IN MIAMI waiting to come home and I missed the week before because I OVER SLEPT! Oops! So I will go weigh in on Friday like normal and we shall see what the LOVELY scale says!

As for the cruise...

IT WAS GREAT! Um...the only thing we did realize was the HOSPITALITY DIFFERENCE IN THE 4 AND 7 DAY CRUISE! Our waiters were the BEST! The food was alright....well GREAT ON LOBSTER NIGHT! JEFF GOT 3 ACTUALLY 4 BUT COULDN'T EAT THE 4TH ONE! Light WEIGHT! Ba ha ha ha ha ha. We were just very dissatisfied with the service otherwise...ie THE CRUISE DIRECTOR! RUDE!!!!

Anyway onto the STOPS we made!

KEY WEST = AMAZING and we can't wait to go back! We want to go there for a few days minus the CRUISE SHIP! Apparently the cruise ships leave before it even gets dark in Key West because they don't want you to PARTY IT UP ON DUVAL STREET! Which would be INCREDIBLE! We went to the Southernmost Point and got a PICTURE like Mr. Cox requested! WE WALKED 2.4 MILES THERE AND BACK! Wow was that AMAZING! I didn't even feel like I had walked it either! The weather was BEAUTIFUL and there was a LOVELY BREEZE! We also went to THE ORIGINAL MARGARITAVILLE! Of course!! Got some souvenirs (SHIRTS!) Ya'll know I'M SERIOUSLY ADDICTED! On the way who did we see on a sign??? MR. KENNY CHESNEY! Jeff says he just can't get away from that MAN!! Ba ha ha h aha ha!! On the way back to the ship we went into some shops where we FOUND MR. COX HIS NEW FAVORITE SHIRT!! IT'S GOT SHELDON ON IT AND IT SAYS BAZINGA! Ba ha ha ha ha

 

Of course HE LOVES IT! We also stopped at this little bar/grill and I got 2 margaritas and Jeff got a beer and we just walked down the street! WE LOVED IT! It was too fun to be able to do that!! For some reason, drinks taste better when you can go up and down the street with them. Between a tight schedule and us sleeping late, we weren't in Key West long, so a return trip seems to be the right thing to do!

COZUMEL: We had a blast except for the fact we COULDN'T GET IN THE WATER! :( The surf was really bad! We were sitting on the dock at MARGARITAVILLE and the waves were just splashing up on the dock! They even canceled some shore excursions because of it! :( We did have a blast though! We sat at Margaritaville for a while...had a MARGARITA Jeff got CORONA on draft...had a Cheeseburger In Paradise and some Buffalo wings! Did some shots (Sex on the Playa!) Yeah realized again that MEXICAN TEQUILA IS WAAAAAAAAAAAAY STRONGER THAN WHAT WE HAVE HERE and yes I GOT SICK AGAIN THAT NIGHT! Wow...I know! Went and did some shopping and then got back on the boat and went to the pool since we didn't get to swim in Mexico this year :(  But it was a great TRIP! 

 

We realized on this cruise that the 4 day probably isn't for us! It was too short for me Jeff kinda liked it...but I think we will stick with the 7 days from now on or maybe try the 5 day! 

All in all it was very relaxing and just what I need to REGROUP AND REJUVENATE AND GET MY MIND BACK IN THE GAME! I'VE GOT TO KICK MICROBIOLOGY'S TAIL!!!!!!! 

Well that's all for now! I will leave you guys with some pix from our cruise! I hope you enjoy! I promise I will post the POUNDAGE on FRIDAY! I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT WEEK!

Another Weigh In & My Birthday Weekend!

Hi Frands,

Another week another weigh in another......    .6lbs! 

I'm almost below 200 lbs! I'm super STOKED ABOUT THAT! 

As far as last week went. I didn't exercise as much as I had planned. Monday night/Tuesday morning I had to go to the ER for what they apparently said was an anxiety attack. My heart was racing so bad and I couldn't breathe!!! So that put some strain on the exercising! Then as Friday and my birthday neared I didn't but I did change my eating habits a bit! I'm so glad I LOST THOUGH! 

As far as the birthday... I HAD THE BEST BIRTHDAY! Jeff made it such a wonderful occasion! The cake he made me was AMAZING AND I LOVE HIM SO MUCH! He really put a lot of LOVE AND HARD WORK INTO IT AND IT TURNED OUT AMAZING! He also got me 2 great gifts! A personalized cake carrier and my initials for the X-Terra!! My parents and little brother came down and I GOT LOTS OF STUFF FROM THEM! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH! We had such a GREAT TIME! I'm so glad I got to experience their 1st time at a Japanese restaurant! It was so much fun and SOO GOOD! I hated to see them leave Saturday but I didn't want mom to have to drive so much on Sunday!! Saturday I had a great time with my SISTER/BFF Ashley, Darley & Charlie and Rachel!! We were disappointed with our Mexican place but we had a good time anyway! I LOVE THEM!! And of course Jeff's parents!! I LOVED MY CARDS AND GIFT CARDS ESPECIALLY THE CAKE CARD!! I LOVE YOU MOM!!

I would like to THANK EVERYONE FOR THE WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY WISHES!! YOU GUYS ARE SO SWEET!! THANK YOU!!!

Until Friday...

♥ kc

How Sweet!

So...my husband tried to get 3 people to make a cake for my birthday with no success! He called in plenty of time! So...he has decided to take on this NEW PROJECT! He is going to make the cake himself! 

He has never made a cake from scratch in his life nor has he ever decorated one! I'm not sure what kind of cake he is making! I just know the pans he is using! I do know that it's going to be chocolate and vanilla! Like the bottom sheet cake is chocolate and he's making to "loaf" pans vanilla. 

He did a trial run tonight and it turned out very well. I was very proud of him! The cake tasted good and he iced it and ROLLED FONDANT AND PUT IT ON THE CAKE! It was very cute! 

I can't wait to see the FINISHED PRODUCT ON MY BIRFDAY!! Please enjoy the photos!

Have I Hit A Plateau?

Hello Frands!

Another week has passed! It's MID SEPTEMBER! Wow...

Summer just FLEW right by me! And it's almost FALL! This year has just flown by! Before we know it CHRISTMAS WILL BE HERE!! Goodness!! I'm actually glad it's going by fast! I hope it continues to do this so the next time I blink I WILL HAVE GRADUATED NURSING SCHOOL!!! Ba ha ha ha ha ha ha!!

So another week means another weigh in! Yes I went to weigh this morning and I did lose...but I lost .6lbs losing is ALWAYS good I know, but I'm starting to think maybe I'm hitting a plateau! So I've lost 69.6 lbs without really working out! Now it's time to pull out the big guns! Even though I've been doing TONS of crunches I do believe I am building my stomach muscles up which muscle weighs more...so maybe that's it.... but I have to pull out the big guns and START GOING TO THE GYM! I'm glad I was able to lose what I have without working out....but it's time to REALLY REALLY WORK EXTRA HARD! :) 

Well that is going to do it for this blog! I know short and sweet! But I have SOOOOOOO many things to do today! Until next week... I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A FANTABULOUS WEEKEND! 

♥ kc

Another Week!

Hello Frands!!!

Sorry for not posting last week...I just got busy and forgot! LOL

I have been SUPER busy with school. I had a paper I had to write and also other assignments I had to do as well!! So needless to say last weekend was BUSY! Jeff had to work on Monday so it was a "normal" weekend for us. We had a good time though! My DAWGS won their FIRST GAME against Louisiana-Lafayette 55-7! That was AH-MAZING! Let's hope they KEEP IT UP THIS WEEKEND!! 

Onto the news you guys wait so patiently for every week! ;)

Did I weigh in today? Yes! How much you ask?

I lost another 1.4lbs!

For a grand total of 69 LBS!! Almost 70 lbs!!! 

I am so THANKFUL for WEIGHT WATCHERS! Before I started I was so skeptical of EVERYTHING including WEIGHT WATCHERS! I had tried everything and FAILED! So when I started Weight Watchers and I started seeing wonderful results I was so amazed!! The thing about Weight Watchers is....is it's not just another DIET! It's a lifestyle change! Unless you have it in your head that you are going to change your habits NOTHING will work! Weight Watchers has been AMAZING and I PRAISE IT EVERY DAY!!!

My birthday is in 2 weeks from today and I'm SUPER STOKED! I always get excited for my birthday! Another year older....I LOVE IT! Our cruise is 1 week and 3 days after it!!! WE ARE READY!!! WE'VE BEEN READY!!! Ha ha ha ha ha!! Key West & Cozumel HERE WE COME! 

Well...that's about all for now...Miss Abby needs to go out to potty!! I hope everyone has a FABULOUS weekend!!

Thank you all for your continued support!! It means SO MUCH!!! You have NO IDEA!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

This Week!

Good Evening Frands!

This week has been really just blah! I had to go to the ER Tuesday night because I'm pretty sure I have a KIDNEY infection and apparently I go to the hospital that doesn't really care! I wasn't able to give them a full urine sample...I mean not even enough they could test and the doctor comes back and says...well your urinalysis says you don't have an infection but that doesn't mean that you don't! He ASKED ME IF I WANTED ANTIBIOTICS! I'm like...um....YES BECAUSE I KNOW SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT! It isn't normal for your upper back around your KIDNEYS TO BE IN SUCH PAIN AND BURNING WHEN I PEE! I mean seriously??? On top of all that I threw up 3 times in the ER! Every time my back would hurt (felt like someone was stabbing me) I hurled! So Jeff was like can we please give her something she is throwing up! The doctor said...she threw up here?? NO YOU IDIOT I THREW UP AT HOME! Ugh.... so he gave me a shot of Pheregren and sent me on my way! I am still not better! But I've got these new more potent antibiotics and I'm going to let them hopefully do their thing!

As for this week's update on THE POUNDAGE...

I lost 1.2 lbs! I was hoping I would lost more but then again 1.2 lbs is A LOT! This lady at weight watchers put it into perspective for me...she said just think of what 1 lb of hamburger meat at the grocery store looks like! I didn't think of it like that...I mean that pound of hamburger meat is A LOT! So that made me feel a little better! :) 

School is going good! More to come about that! ;)

Well that is all for now! I've got to finish doing some laundry so we don't have to do it this weekend and WE CAN HAVE SOME US TIME!!! YAY!!  

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A WONDERFUL WEEKEND!

Until next week....

I ♥ This Quote I Stummbled Across!

Jealousy is simply and clearly the fear that you do not have value.  Jealousy scans for evidence to prove the point - that others will be preferred and rewarded more than you.  There is only one alternative - self-value.  If you cannot love yourself, you will not believe that you are loved.  You will always think it's a mistake or luck.  Take your eyes off others and turn the scanner within.  Find the seeds of your jealousy, clear the old voices and experiences.  Put all the energy into building your personal and emotional security.  Then you will be the one others envy, and you can remember the pain and reach out to them.  ~Jennifer James

Back To The Routine!

Heller Frands!

So last week wasn't the best week for me! I didn't make the best choices last week when it came to eating! And it showed with only losing 1.4 lbs! I say only but I LOST! So that made me very happy! But not as happy as this week! 

This week I am back on my routine! :) School...eating....AB LOUNGER!

This week I lost 2.4 lbs! Yay! So total so far I've lost 65.2 lbs! 

School is good so far! I started back on Tuesday!  I'm taking Microbiology, English 1102 and Health (Online). I was very scared about Microbiology but it looks and sounds SUPER INTERESTING! I am very excited to learn about infectious diseases! Something I am going to use in my career!!! English 1102 just makes me nervous all around! ;) I don't like writing papers! Ha ha ha ha!  But I've got to DO IT! My online health class seems like it's going to be great too!! This is my last semester of core classes! I've applied to the nursing program to start in the spring. I should hear something soon! 

We are going to TYBEE tomorrow with some friends and I'M SUPER EXCITED! I think we are going to have a GREAT, FUN & FABULOUS TIME!! WOOHOO!!!!

Only 5 MORE WEEKS UNTIL MY BIRTHDAY!!! 35 DAYS! YEA-YEAH!! :) 

And that  means only 6 WEEKS AND 2 DAYS UNTIL OUR CRUISE!!!! I'M SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!! THAT I JUST CAN'T HIDE IT!!! :)

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Until next week...

Minor Speed Bump (To Me At Least!)

Another week has gone by. Actually 2! I wasn’t able to weigh in last week because we went to Asheville last Thursday night…really Friday at midnight and I couldn’t weigh in last Friday. Of course that weekend was blown! LOL I mean we had so many good things…I was cautious about most things but others not so much. Then this week has been not so great either! I could have made better decisions! I should’ve made better decisions! Yep! I should’ve! I say all that to say that I lost 1.4lbs this week. I know that it’s great that I lost…but I’m very disappointed in myself for the choices I made! But…life is about making the choices and living with them and MAKING BETTER CHOICES THE NEXT TIME! I think not being on a schedule really this week has had A LOT to do with it! I’m kinda THANKFUL I will be starting my routine back next Tuesday!

There are exactly 6 WEEKS until my BIRTHDAY!!! I’m super super super excited!! Because that means that there is only 7 weeks and 2 days until our CRUISE!!! HALLALUYER!!!

Anyway…I know this is short…but that’s all I can think of for now! Plus…I MUST enjoy my days before I start back next Tuesday!!

Until next week…

So...what's the news this week?

I'VE LOST MY 20% PLUS SOME!!!!! Wow...I've lost 20%+ some of my weight!! 20%!!! Isn't that crazy!! I mean you don't think that's a lot but that's 56lbs!!! I'm just baffled by it!! WOW!! So...what's my next goal you ask?? 40%! That will be another 55 lbs!! WOOHOO!!!! I can't wait! I KNOW I CAN DO IT!! I JUST HAVE TO WORK HARD AND PUSH THROUGH!!!! :) 

This week has been a really CRAZY WEEK! I've been so exhausted! I think my body is telling me to CHILL OUT! Wednesday I FELT SOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD! My BRAIN JUST STOPPED WORKING! It was trying to shut down ALL DAY!!! I didn't do very well on my quiz in A&P II that day. I made a 60!!!! After the quiz I felt like lecture took all day and same with lab....it just went on and on and on...and even though I heard her talking...my brain wasn't soaking it in! So...what does this mean?? I WILL NEVER TAKE ANOTHER SUMMER CLASS!!! I had a test in PSYCH on the same day and got a little more time to study and I just went over it and over it...3 times and sometimes I was like what?! What am I reading?! Yeah...I was having a hard time!!! So...I'm hoping I did good on that test!!!

So on that note and knowing that I'm STRESSED TO THE MAX AND OVERWHELMED...Mr. Cox and I are going on a DAY TRIP TO TYBEE TOMORROW! We are going to CHILLAX AT THE BEACH AND JUST KICK BACK AND RELAX!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!! The BEACH IS MY HAPPY PLACE AND I KNOW THAT IF I CAN JUST GET ONE RELAXING DAY I AM PRETTY SURE WILL BE REJUVENATED!! I have 4 more classes (2 weeks) until the SUMMER SEMESTER IS O-V-E-R!! Thank you LORD!!! Finals are Aug. 3 and I'm counting down the days!! I will have a 2 week break before I start classes again for the fall! So I'm going to take that opportunity to REST and get back on my A-GAME for the fall semester!!

Well that's about all for now! HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!! I will be back next week for more NEWS! :) Thank you everyone who continues to read my blog and SUPPORT ME through my weight loss and LIFE in general!! I ♥ YOU GUYS!!!

Another 3 Weeks Have Come & Gone! :)

HELLER FRANDS!!

Yes!! It is BLOG time!! 

I thought about it yesterday and then a lovely friend kindly reminded me that it's been over 3 weeks! LOL! It actually brought a SMILE to my face because I wasn't sure if anyone was still reading these!! :) So...THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR CONTINUING TO READ THEM!!

So...what's happened since my last post?!?

Well...since my last post...I'VE HIT THE 50LB MARK! 

I've lost a total of 54.4 lbs!

I'm only 1 lb away from reaching my 20% GOAL!!!

Most recent pic ^

I am ECSTATIC!!! I knew it was something I could do...but I never realized I could do it! If that makes sense!

We are going on a cruise in October for my fall break and I'm hoping to lose 40 more lbs! I have 12 weeks to do it!!! MAYBE I WILL BE SKINNY ENOUGH TO WEAR A 2 PIECE! HA HA HA HA HA!

87 MORE DAYS UNTIL WE SET SAIL!!!!

Onto school...

We only have 3 MORE WEEKS of SUMMER CLASSES left! Psychology is going great! Right now I have an A in there! A&P II is going okay...I think I have a 78 in there! I'm hoping to come out of that class with a B! I need the B to HAPPEN! We have our 2nd lab exam on Monday and I'm hoping I do great on it! I've studied my little heart out for it!!! I am READY for these classes to be O-V-E-R! Summer classes aren't the BEST! :) I TAKE MY TEAS TEST ON THURSDAY. I HAVE TO TAKE THIS TEST TO BE ABLE TO GET INTO THE NURSING PROGRAM! IF I COULD PLEASE GET YOUR PRAYERS ON THURSDAY! THANK YOU!!!

Onto LIFE in GENERAL...

Life has been kinda sad these past few weeks. My great-grandpa died June 15th. He and my granny have been living in an assisted living place almost 2 years. My granny has Alzheimer's and doesn't really know what is going on. She knew that Tuesday when he died and was very sad and cried. But the next day when I got home and went to see her she didn't say anything about him until Nana and I were fixing to leave she said "Papa left early before breakfast for work and should be getting home anytime now" It was very sad. My poor Granny!!! My heart just breaks in-two when I think about it! :( I miss her so much and wish I lived back at home so I could go see her!!! After this the next week my mom called to tell me that one of her best friends had died! She was in her 50's and had lung cancer. She was at chemo when it happened and this just broke my heart! All these sad things happening at the same time. It really brings you down! It makes you think about things and realize that LIFE IS REALLY SHORT! 

Other than that Jeff, Abby & myself are doing wonderful. Trying to beat this heat! We went to Asheville last weekend for the 4th and had a great time! Just hung out and relaxed!! I ♥ It! I miss Asheville so much and I miss seeing mom everyday! We  would really get into a lot of trouble right now seeing as how we are both at home!! Ha ha ha ha!! Can't wait to get back up there!!

OH...THE A/C IN THE X-TERRA IS FIXED THANK YOU LORD! And now YOU DON'T ALMOST DIE IN THERE WHEN YOU GO SOMEWHERE!! YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Oh and the TURN SIGNAL IS FINALLY FIXED TOO!! YEEEEEEEHAWWWW!!

Well...I think that about does it for this go round! I promise I am going to get back on the BAND-WAGON and start blogging ONCE a week!! I will make the TIME!! THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR CONTINUED PRAYERS!! You guys mean the world to me and I'm so THANKFUL to have you in my LIFE!! Thank ya'll!!! ♥

♥-kc

Wow!

Okay...so I can't believe it's been OVER 3 weeks since I've blogged!! Had A LOT going on including....4 YEAR ANNIVERSARY...BAMAJAM....SUMMER CLASSES!! Yeah...so you can see where one might not get to blog for a couple of weeks! I have been weighing-in though every week! :) 

So far since February 6 I've lost 47.8 lbs! HELLER!!! Can you believe it?!?! Wow!! That is almost 50lbs! I have a goal and I have to get there and MAKE IT HAPPEN and WEIGHT WATCHERS is helping me make that happen!!!! I'm super excited!! We are going on a cruise in October for my fall break and I've got to look my best then! The best I've ever looked actually!!! :) I want to LOOK AH-MAZING!!! ♥

Onto BAMAJAM, it was BLAST! We had so much fun! We got to meet Danny Gokey (he was on American Idol last year), Chris Young sings (Walking through the front door, seeing your black dress hit the floor, uh honey there sure ain't nothing, like you loving me all night long, and all I can think about is getting you home!) and Randy Houser ( I'M GOING OUT WITH MY BOOTS ON!) I got to meet Dierks Bentley but wasn't able to get a picture with him or HANK JR!! MAJOR SADNESS! Nope...didn't get to "officially meet KENNY CHESNEY  but.....HE DID TELL ME HE LOVED ME!!! No...I didn't not say it to him first...I SUNG MY LITTLE HEART OUT THE WHOLE TIME AND HE KEPT LOOKING AT ME THE WHOLE TIME.Here I thought he was thinking I was crazy...and he kept coming over there singing with me...and then after one song he looked at me squatted down pointed his finger at me... and said I LOVE YOU! I ABOUT DIED! I WAS LIKE ME?! AND HE SHOOK HIS HEAD! I SERIOUSLY ABOUT DIED! TEARS JUST CAME TO MY EYES AND I WAS LIKE PULL IT TOGETHER AND WE KEPT SINGING TOGETHER THE REST OF THE CONCERT! We were able to get some GREAT pix of everyone else..TRAIN was amazing!!! So was  Jake Owen and Gretchen Wilson! Gah!! They all were GREAT!!  

So we saw 14 concerts in 3 days: Danny Gokey, Chris Young, Citizen Cope, Zac Brown Band, Randy Houser, Jamey Johnson, Hank Williams JR, Train, Miranda Lambert, Houston County, Matt Kennon, Jake Owen, Gretchen Wilson, Rodney Atkins and THE ONE AND ONLY KENNY CHESNEY!

We were ready to get home though! We were SOOOOOOOOOOOOO tired!! We were so tired allllllllllll last week too!! Ba ha ha ha ha!! CAN'T WAIT FOR BAMAJAM 2011!

*Here are just a few pix from BAMAJAM!*

Onto the SUMMER CLASSES, this summer I am taking Anatomy & Physiology 2 & Psychology. Now...summer classes are a lot different! The big difference is that during fall and spring semester the classes are 16 weeks long...in the summer they are only 8 WEEKS LONG! So A TON OF INFO IN LESS TIME! 2 1/2 hour long classes! Plus you have EXAMS EVERY OTHER WEEK! I only have 2 classes but A&P really is like 2 classes by itself you have lecture that's 2 1/2 hours long then lab that is 2 1/2 hours long and then my psych classes that's 2 1/2 hours. So I'm at school on Mon & Wed from 10A-5:20P! Yeah....ALLLLLLL DAY! So by the time I get home I'm SUPER tired! I'm going to get through it though!! 

I've applied for the nursing program! I had to apply last week and I have to take the TEAS test in July. I'm not sure when we will know I'm guessing the fall since the program starts in the spring. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PRAY FOR ME THAT I GET IN!!!! In the fall I have to take Microbiology, Engl. 1102 and my health class and that will complete ALL my classes I have to have before my nursing classes! So I am ready!! I am ready to start those nursing classes and GRADUATE IN 2012!!

Jeff and I are doing WONDERFUL! Trying to get through this HEATWAVE!! Good lord it has been SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hot! The A/C in the X-Terra isn't working we are getting that fixed this week though because I can't stand this heat! I had to go to the doctor this am and by the time I got there I was so HOT and I had a BAD BAD BAD headache! So yeah we've definitely got to FIX THAT!! 

Abby is doing well! She just loves taking naps and playing. She also loves T-R-E-A-T-S! She is looking forward to going to ASHEVILLE in 2 weeks and 3 days to see her MIMI & PAPA!! She misses them! 

Well I think that about covers it for now! I have to go study for my 1st A&P II exam TOMORROW!!! Wish me LUCK! Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers for school and with my weight loss! It means so much to me and I'm so thankful for such WONDERFUL FAMILY AND FRIENDS!! Thank you!! ♥
