Adventures at Henley

Well......I did it, not really, but I tried...Waterskiing....twice!........I didn't actually get up on them....and managed to pull several groin muscles when my legs decided to go in opposite directions....but I tried........and thats BIG for me..... I tried something new and thats very positive. I loved the speed of the ski boat.... I guess I like fast things...lol....do I see a ferrari in my future? don't think so...can't afford the price tag, gas for it..or the tickets....but the boat was super fun....As we were leaving I stepped into a huge pile of quick sand and got emerged to about my waist....that was real fun let me tell ya....and a little embarrassing...especially when my brother got caught in it trying to get me out....but I had to laugh...cause stuff like that always happens to me......I was really surprised I didn't fall out of the boat knowing now much of a clutz I am..... but it was a really awesome day.

Believe

Believe.................A few know that I had something done about a week ago...It is very special to me and if I ever get back on my laptop I'll post a picture. Some will probably understand why I got what I did, but for those that don't I'll explain....The butterfly signifies rebirth.....mine to be exact...I'm almost to the point of looking like the person I was inside for some many years....I finally feel comfortable both inside and outside.....FINALLY! Some may not agree with the choice I made a year ago...and thats fine but it really doesn't matter to me. I did what I did because 1) medically it was necessary... 2) because of 1) I finally found out WHY it was so hard for me to loose weight...3) because it was time... I turned 30 last year and hell if I was going to be dealing with this anymore....I want to get married and have a family...thats huge for me....HUGE..and honestly how could I ever think someone could love me like that when I couldn't even love myself... The word believe under the butterfly represents many things.....Believe in myself for one....Believe in my dreams for 2....Believe in my faith....3 Believe in my family and friends....4 Believe that someday that one perfect person will show up...and actually believe with me...

Good song

She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati On a snow white Christmas Eve Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline It been a long hard year She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention She was going way to fast Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass She saw both their lives flash before her eyes She didn't even have time to cry She was sooo scared She threw her hands up in the air Jesus take the wheel Take it from my hands Cause I can't do this all on my own I'm letting go So give me one more chance To save me from this road I'm on Jesus take the wheel It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder And the car came to a stop She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock And for the first time in a long time She bowed her head to pray She said I'm sorry for the way I've been living my life I know I've got to change So from now on tonight Jesus take the wheel Take it from my hands Cause I can't do this all my own I'm letting go So give me one more chance To save me from this road I'm on Oh, Jesus take the wheel Oh, I'm letting go So give me one more chance Save me from this road I'm on From this road I'm on Jesus take the wheel Oh, take it, take it from me Oh, why, oh

Fly

Wow, today I had the most amazing day. First I'll have to give a little back story. About 3 weeks ago our classroom received its package of 35 butterfly caterpillars. If anyone doesn't know, I love butterflies and next to dolphins I would say they are my spiritual creature. Thinking at first that I would miss out on them due to the time off for the wedding, I quickly found out that I would be back in time to see the hatch. Well, this morning I walked into work to find that 4 had hatched overnight....I was so excited...and anyone that was there knew it. As the day progressed 7 more hatched. I took one out of the habitat and held it...It fluttered its wings and crawled up to the top of my hand. The kids gathered around me to watch the butterfly....and the butterfly stared right back at them....I must of held it for a good 15 minutes as I really didn't want to put it back.......I wanted to keep it with me....Needless to say, like the doofus I can be, I forgot my camera at home....but you better bet I will have it with me Monday :-) Later next week the teachers and the kids are going to hae a butterfly releasing ceremony....I really hope some of them decide to stick around for awhile.......... Pictures forth-coming on Monday

Lucky on wedding duty

New Beginning

Kind of funny I start this blog with this topic...but this past Friday was the 1 year anniversary of my surgery. In one year I have lost almost 90 pounds. I do have more to go but at this point right now I weigh less than I did when I graduated high school...though many look at me now and tell me I look great...sometimes I don't see it...I guess thats due to the fact that for most of my life I was overweight.......maybe you can understand why its so hard to see me as other than that...I am critical of myself...and I'm working on not doing that... Here is a picture from Friday night ....at the rehearsal dinner for my brother and sisters wedding.....also my anniversary.
