Hey people reading!
It’s been awhile! I've moved to Missouri, am
with my family as it should be, am a student, and a few pounds lighter!
I won't get
into the deep details of Adam and my relationship status, but know after a
long, trying and incredibly rough year, we are together and we are happy. We
have our moments, but who doesn't? We fight for, support, and love each other
like we never have before. Many people were hurt in different ways with our
move, but it was the best thing for our family. The distance from our
loved ones is hard at times, but the distance between the two of us on CO was
greater. I want anyone reading this who is going through it in their
relationships, to pray, pray, pray. God is the reason we are where we are. I
read back in my journal from last year and it was prayer after prayer for
restoration. And there were times where I gave up and prayed to just get over it,
but God had a plan, some days I'm still trying to figure out when it will all
come full circle, but I am grateful every day for Him putting my family back
together.
Since
moving here, I did a job at the hospital for a couple weeks, hated it, did some
real soul searching and decided to quit putting money first, and reach for my
real dream. I want to own my own business. I always have, but did not know what
kind. I had major baby love, and wanted a baby/children boutique type place,
got over that and went to Whimsy, a paint and sip and thought it was bad ass,
and I could SO do that, BUT, after volunteering at a cozy cafe in Greeley, I
realized I'd LOVE to open one of my own. It's been almost a year now
since I have felt this way, which beats all the other thoughts, and I get SO
excited when I think about the cool things I want to do, so I think this is the
right way to go. So, step one in obtaining this dream is going to school, and
getting my Business Management degree, then go from there. Also, post a million
pins to my board in Pinterest with cute coffee cups and decorating ideas!
Since our
move here Adam and I have taken on Crossfit together! He has been an on again
off again Crossfitter for a few years, and I tried it once, but we now are on again,
up to 5 days a week, totally addicted Crossfitters! I still have my
struggles with food, but am a constant work in progress! I am down almost 20
pounds since moving here! I can do things I never imagined me doing like back
squatting 100lbs, dead-lifting 170lbs, and a box jump! I have taken my 12
minute mile from last year down to about a 10. I feel good!
Anthony is
doing well here. He is also in Crossfit, not sure he is as in love with it as I
am, but he goes. He is going into the 4th grade in fall and is happy to FINALLY
be on summer break! He will have a super busy summer with travels to FL, CO,
and WA. We also look forward to a couple CO friends coming out to see us.
Anthony and I like to go down to the Missouri river where we spot turtles
in the river bank, explore a pond that was full of tadpoles before the snakes
moved in, but he likes watching the snakes. I miss the tadpoles! Lol! And look
forward to other adventures in this new town.
All in all
Missouri isn't leaving us in misery! We are making friends slowly but surely,
and are living life for today, not someday.
Love you people! Till
next post, take care of yourselves!!
