It's almost been a year?!

It's almost been a year since my last blog?! How did that even happen? I update my ticker but I don't blog.. I'm such a slacker ;)

Well, today my weight is 173.5! To me, this is both amazing a little sucky at the same time. lol I have a few reasons for feeling like this. I had my surgery 1.5 years ago. I have lost 80.5 lbs. That is an average of 4.45 lbs per month. Which is a SAFE weight loss! I want to lose approx. 20-30 more lbs and thats probably about it. I have a wide frame and I think ANY less that 145-150 and I will look......sick. haha. I just wish that I would ALREADY be at my goal but I knew going in that lap band patients take 2-3 years to get the results that gastric bypass patients get in 1 year. But I also have 2 friends that have had gastric bypass now and they are at or below their goal and I'm just slowllllllyyyy losing. lol. 

A lot has changed this year. Serenity has been promoted to 1st grade! She starts back to school in August. Her transfer request to Marlow has also been accepted so that makes me SO happy! Scarlett is 2 and is growing like a weed! She is so smart and sometimes her intelligence just amazes me! Serenity is turning into a young lady right before my eyes. She is starting to request "privacy time" so she can just relax in her bedroom by herself and watch a movie. She is outgoing and so sweet. She will hug just about anyone (which is a little scary sometimes- we're working on it lol). Scarlett knows what she wants and she goes after it. She literally "ordered" lunch from me the other day. She had gotten dirty so I was giving her a pre-lunch bath and she said "I wanna eat." So I asked her what she wanted to eat and she said "I want turkey, and bread, and chips and sweet tea!" lol! So I said "You want a turkey sandwich, chips and sweet tea to drink?" She said "Yeah baby!" lol!! Cracked me up!! She talks a lot more at this age than Serenity did so it's almost like I'm hearing the mind of a two year old for the first time. Serenity is getting a little older so it's nice to spend one on one time with her sometimes. She can understand more grown up things and enjoys our "alone" days. Scarlett is potty training too! She is doing SO good!! I just need to cut out the drinks at bedtime so she can potty train at night time!

I know I just rambled on about my girls, going back and forth about each of them but they are my life. Besides David of course! lol. On July 31'st we will have been married 4 years! I can't believe it sometimes. Our relationship has grown a lot in the past year. We have both grown in our faith in God a lot too so thats a pretty amazing thing!Well, I'm gonna close now. I have to go back to work. Hopefully it wont be another year before I update again! :)
