It's been more than 2 years since I posted anything on here. Lot's to catch up on.
So 2013....
February, Grandson Jayden was born.
March, Mom and Dad came to visit for a few weeks.
June, I was laid off from my job at Ministry Medical Group.
June, Grandson Zander was born.
September, I started my "Healthcare Documentation Specialist" program.
October, I was called to be the Primary President in our branch.
and 2014...
February, started looking for work again.
May, Granddaughter Kira was born.
August, started working at JoAnn Fabric's.
September, got a scare from doctor I am in danger of diabetes.
October, started my journey of weight loss with the YMCA Diabetes Prevention program.
my first class I weighed in at 206.6 lbs.
December, quit my job at JoAnn Fabric's to stay home and finish my school program and do what matters most in my life and that is to fix my health and my marriage.
As of December 11th I weighed 198.8 lbs.
Christmas I gave Nick the best gift I could think of and that was to recommit to our marriage. I gave him a box that has 12 dates. That is one date each month for the next year. I had so much fun putting it together and pray that he will have just as much fun doing the dates as I did putting it together.
and so far in 2015...
On January 4th our little branch of the church became a WARD. It has been amazing to watch this area of the church grow and be apart of the missionary work here.
I have totally recommitted to my marriage as I now know exactly why I needed to stay home to work on my marriage. Nick, I and the Lord together are going to concur his addiction to pornography. We are filling our lives with "LIGHT". I am so grateful for the spiritual experiences this has already brought into my life. I know that even though this is a "HARD THING", it is so WORTH IT.
My Primary President calling is helping me bring the "LIGHT" into my life. As this years theme is "I Know My Savior Lives". I have challenged myself to learn more about my Savior and to have a more personal relationship with Him. I am finding that as I walk in his paths I am not struggling as much. That is not to say that I don't struggle because I DO! But I feel so much better about all aspects of my life.
on January 26th Nick and I went on our first of the 12 dates. We went to the Planetarium at UWSP campus. Nick loves astronomy and I really don't like to cold here so I thought this was a great way to enjoy and evening of looking at the starry sky together and in the warmth. Only problem was that it was not a clear sky night so the Observatory was not open. I love and am grateful for his excitement over something so beautiful.
My weight loss journey has been my down fall this month. I have slipped with my eating and exercise and have gained a few pounds back. I feel it on my body and it is hurting. So recommitting to working out at the YMCA 5 days a week and really watching what goes into my mouth.
So with these new adventures in my life's journey I want to have some place to write done my feelings and thoughts. So if you dare check in on me occasionally. I will talk about my health, marriage, family, church calling and personal relationship with my Savior, Jesus Christ and my Father in Heaven.
Till next time....Keep looking for the LIGHT in your life.
