Hello Frands!

It's that time again! BLOG TIME!!! 

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!!!

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!!! ♥

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!! ♥
