Updates...

It's been a few months since I've last written and there have been a few changes. I'm really trying to lose weight like I promised I would. So far, I'm down 15 lbs. Some days it's more, some days less. I tend to fluctuate, which is why I don't rely too much on the scale and more on how my clothes are fitting me.

I signed up for a half marathon in October. I still have a long ways to go, but I figured since I'm so out of shape, I better play it safe and sign up for one that gives me time to prep myself.

Kaylee turned 1 on February 11th. However, as much as we would have liked to have a huge party for her, we didn't and still don't have much money. The poor baby was sick on her birthday with the stomach flu so that week was terrible for all of us because once one individual in the household gets the flu, EVERYONE gets it and that's exactly what happened. We DID however get her a few gifts, my sister bought her a cake and we celebrated her birthday that weekend with just family. It was nice....

I started school on January 26th, 2009. It's been great so far, but finding time to study has proven to be the hardest part, along with working out and caring for a family with three kids (my two daughters and my big baby hubby). I haven't done too great on my first tests, but I'm still trying to adjust to the new schedule. You'd think I'd have it figured out by now being a month later, but things seem to pop out of nowhere and I have no control over situations which is where the trouble for me lies.

Lastly...I've been thinking alot about life in general and how things never seem to go the way you expect or plan. I've also come to the realization that planning everything is highly overrated and sometimes you just have to take things as they come and try not to overanalyze situations because it only causes you more stress in the long run.

My final thoughts...(just randomness that I can't get out of my head)

Happiness is a state of mind and I'm still trying to get there...will I ever reach that state of mind or will what I think and how I feel always hinder myself from becoming a better, more happier individual??
