My Birthday Party

From July!

Granny Sain's 80th Birthday

This is most of my family together at my Granny's birthday party!

My Granny helped raise me. I lived with her some off and on throughout
my life. She has taught me so much. She always made me feel special,
supported, and loved. She helped me with a few hard break ups just
being there and sitting up late at night playing Scrabble. She assured
me Heavenly Father had some one else for me. I am glad I listened I
now have Phillip! I love her!

Fireplace for Fall

I found a few fall decorations and think they look great on the fireplace!

It been awhile...




We finally got moved to our new house. We have had a water pipe bust and the discovery of mold. Thankfully it was all coved by the insurance company. The kitchen and guest bathroom were finally finished this week. I enjoy living here and finding much joy in these cooler days just sitting on the porch reading.  Also, I now have a piano and again I am taking lessons. Slow and steady wins the race. I will post pictures soon.

Things are pretty much normal Phillip got something in his foot last week and we sent over 12 hours in the Grady ER to stop the bleeding and get him on some much needed antibiotics. Phillip indeed is on the Autism Spectrum with having Asperger Syndrome. I feel bad it has taken so long to find this out but it explains a lot of his past and his special quirks. We know now and life has been going more smooth as we learn how best to handle issues that arise.

I have been sticking to the Gluten Free Diet and benefiting much from it. I have had less pain and much less stomach issues. I guess I should have listen to my Dr. way back in 1999! As far as my weight loss goes I have been at a standstill since reaching 330-335. I have an appointment with a Bariatric specialist in Dec. The most consistent thing about Grady is the wait. Not having insurance is a real pain. 

I made a new friend this week who asked me to walk with her a few times a week and I am so excited both for the friend and the chance to have someone to walk with! It is a lot easier when I walk with Phillip to back out doing any exercise. All my Doctors keep saying I need to reduce my stress…ugh! They say it like it is so easy? I am blessed to have friends that know more than me and are willing to share: yoga, meditation, and walking!!!!

a little update: Weight Watchers and Hair

When I started this journey I was able to afford Weight Watchers but right now this is not an option for our budget so I am using the tools they taught me and I will be going back ASAP. I also hate long hair so I was going to not cut my hair until my 100 pound goal well most of you know things beyond my control happened and I had to cut my hair. New goal for when I hit 100 pounds gone is a really nice beach trip and some new clothes.
