Begins again...

Life is different...........  

Since my divorce things have changed, I am happier and I am seeing life in a different light. I have lost 60 lbs since July and I haven't changed any eating habits. I have been doing more things that I want to do, I have been enjoying the outdoors more, going hiking, drives and little trips. I have also met someone new. I signed up for online networking to meet new people and I met this amazing Biology major. 

He is an amazing person and we have really connected. On our first date we went hiking, and took a random trip to Idaho falls because we weren't ready to say good night. We keep hiking and spending time together, we can talk about anything!
He is the sweetest most compassionate man I have ever had the privileged to meet.


We took a day trip to Jackson Hole and Just got back from a 3 day weekend in Boise. We have amazing times together!!! :)

Thriving

A new me.... 
I dont know where the ideal place is to start but the new me is just that,... it's me. 
I am relearning to love life and to live it to the fullest capacity that I can. I am simply deciding to be happy again, because I deserve it and one of the simplest ways to be happy is to let go of what makes you sad. That is what I am working on right now, letting go, letting go of everything that is negative in my life and replacing it with positive.  
I am regaining love and acceptance-love for others, love for Christ and his church and love for myself. Acceptance for the things that I have no control over, I am learning to put more faith in the Lord because he has NEVER left me alone. I accept his help, for he sees the whole picture and knows what I need and what I don't and I will get things in his time period, not mine. Just because things aren't happening right now, doesn't mean they never will. 

LETS DO IT RIGHT THIS TIME....

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!
It is called Lets do it right this time and it is from an ABC Family Series called HUGE (it is about fat camp) and I have recently discovered it. I watched this episode tonight and felt that this song speaks true!!!

Katherine Heigl look alike?

Ok so I have been told by random people that I look like Katherine Heigl....

This just happened, went for a walk and random lady asked what it was like to be on TV! Then she asked if I was here "on location" and if I always go out in a disguise so that I can pretend to be normal. I tried to tell her I have no clue what she was talking about and she just winked and said right. So I asked who she thought I really was, she said..."well I wont say the name out loud but 27 dresses..." I said, "you're good, but I need to go...take care." IT WAS SO FUNNY!!!

                                               This is Katherine Heigl

This is a picture of me in 2007 

(figure if she gets to look good, so do I)

 
Just to make things even better, I looked like this....

Don't you think that if this was a disguise, they would have done a better job!!! :)  hahahaha
Who ever did this is FIRED!!! :D
