A New Journey
So I don't know how many people are actually going to read this... But I'm going to take this blog in a new direction and I hope you take the trip with me..
The new working theme is going to be
*drum roll please!*
"From Fat to Fantastic! My journey to 180"
I'm choosing the blog route rather then constant Facebook posts, which I might loose some friends over (I do enough complaining on there lol).
So why 180? A couple of reasons...
A "180" is a total change in direction. Its a new start.
It's also the weight where I feel great and look great.
My deadline is my birthday, giving me 8 months. I want to start my 33rd year knowing I worked my butt off to get where I am. And I want to be a good role model for my kids.
I want to be more active, I'm sick of feeling sluggish.
I'm also going to be trying to cook healthier food for the family. I've always had trouble with portion control.. But thanks to a totally great app I going to do better with that too.
So tomorrow is a new day! I have 2000 steps and a kettle bell boot camp class...
Hmm I need to find a mini version of my trainer. She is very motivating!

Happy Adoption Day!
I meant to post this on Friday but time totally got away from me.. And now its Sunday evening. Whoops.
Anyway... Friday was our big day.. We finally got to adopt Mekennah!! Almost 3yrs after we got her.. She is a dramatic little princess, but I love her dearly.. And now I'm a full on mommy of 2! yay!

Bittersweet
There are a few things people don't get about adoption... and thats what it does to the adopted child.... Yes they are getting a forever family.. but they are also being remove from their birthfamily.. and that is a loss that needs to be grieved and acknowledged.
We are gaining a daughter.. but there are 2 young people out there that have lost their child. There is a hmom who is willingly trusting me to mother this little princess. To teach her and guide her and love her..
There is a dad who's heart is broken because he doesnt really get why he was denied custody, and who loves her so much he put his own Want aside and chose to let us adopt her.
Did this come easy? Aw heck no.. Its been an uphill battle.. but its the best ending we could have hoped for. Missy gets us, and she gets to have a continued relationship with her birthparents...
The thought of that scares me...
I dont know what the next 15yrs are going to look like...
but I pray that I do right by K & A and that I dont mess up this incedible gift they've given us.

Thoughts on Adoption
"Its the feeling of being completely, hopelessly, desperately in love with someone, all the while knowing that your feelings will never reach them.
It can be masochistic in nature- it causes such heartache, but you enjoy loving the person so much, you willingly let your heart go through the agony, so you can hold onto something- I don't know, maybe hope?
In any case, unrequited love is a very sad thing.
Its like drowning but you just won't fucking die"
In any case, unrequited love is a very sad thing.
