ok... finally my promise.

So remember how way back when i decided i was going to start my diet? and how i was going to lose so much weight? how i promised i would track my weight loss on here. and how that very next day i promised to give all my starting weight? well i'm finally keeping that promise :) my starting weight is 136 , which really isnt soooo bad, but for Afton who's used to weighing around 115 to 120 her WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE... this is freakishly large. obese almost. so i'm going to fix that. now. my goal weight on my online tracker is 115 , but anywhere from 112 to 120 would be just fine. and i'm going to try and keep this weight until my first child. yes. then i can get back up to 136. because that my friends is reasonable out of a married woman with a child. so there you go. I CAN keep a promise.

Global Warming at it's finest :)

Seriously, it all started with that freakish Snowstorm March 1st... and continued with the 2 months of rain. everyday. seriously. it has rained for 2 months straight. like really? when has it ever rained that much in Georgia. really?!?!

Heres' to a well accomplished day ;)

So here's what went down.
Woke up at 5:30 am
Went to work. and worked till 2pm
Came home and found a letter from Gustavo, my true love :)
Read the letter and put a big smile on my face and heart.
went with Brett to pick up Colby
the three of us then made a treck to Blockbuster and Kroger for our Girls night out(spent inside because of rain )
we rented:
Marley and Me... the BEST, WORST movie you could ever watch... if you know what i mean.
Legally Blondes....Kinda lame really , but not too bad i suppose
And..BEDTIME STORIES. i'm not really sure how i felt about this , but i liked it none the less.

Then Brett and Colby did their nails and guess what?!?! it's 10 o clock and they are asleep!! how awesome is that !?!? I feel like a proud mother whose children are finally putting themselfs to sleep and sleeping through the night. so now i have time to just lay back for a while and bask in this feeling of love that is consuming my heart. I love my sisters. We have a stronger bond than we've EVER had before, which makes us extremely close, and I love that. I want it to last forever ,and I think it will. I LOVE my parents. I love my mom , because i think for once we just have this understanding of why we think the way we do and why we are who we are... and it's just comfortable. Me and my dad? well he's my daddy. and i'm pretty sure i'm always going to be daddy's little girl. My parents always have this uncanny ability to say just what i need to hear , when i need to hear it. My mom knows when i need a hug , and i've gotten better at agreeing with her.she'll let me just cry over lost friends,and long distance, lonely ,missing you love. Daddy knows how to encourage me and let me know that I CAN reach my goals if i try hard enough , and he's smart and patient enough to help me figure out how to reach them.
And then there's Gustavo. Honestly... I REALLY dont know how i've ever lived without him , and over the last 9 months i've realized i'd rather not live without him ever again. He is my better half. he combines the best of my parents and my sisters, and can use all my favorite qualities about each of them individually , but he's also him. and between the 5 of my favorite people wrapped all up into the body and essence of Gustavo, I realize i cant go wrong. that i HAVE indeed found the man i'm supposed to be with. Patient, kind, loving....and everything i could possibly ever describe. all in him.
then there's my Lord and savior. wow. I look back on even just the last 2 months and i can see how he's changed me. and i do believe it's for the better.Without the lord , my life would be unbearable at times. when i dont think anyone understands me , i know he does. Over the last 9 months , I can see him working in my life. providing me with miracles i can see in my life and in Gustavo's. I see him molding us into the people and couple we were meant to be. It's amazing to see that happening in my life. and it makes me so grateful and less afraid of my future.
So i guess i just want to take this time to thank all the above mentioned people. Thank you for making me the person i was meant to become. I dont know how i could've done it without all of you :) much love.
<3 ME

Go BRAVES!!!!

Today was a blast AND... the braves won!!!yes. Victory is ours. I will post up pics of the highlights of the night Tomorrow. For right now i am tired. Been up since 5:30 and i'm exhausted, and thirsty. But yeah right now i'm going to go write Gustavo, then i'm goin to work a little bit on a picture i'm drawing, then i'm gonna go to bed because i'm getting an amazing headache. And i have to buy and mail a anniversary card tomorrow :) way to go us gustavo a few more days and we'll have hit 20 months. we pretty much rock.
