Snow, snow, everywhere.
It has been snowing off and on since about 5'oclock yesterday afternoon. I am sick of it. Orders to anyplace (but Hurlburt Field) with a beach sounds nice right now. Thank you.

Valentines Day/Presidents Day.
So when my husband ordered me a Vermont TeddyBear, I thought that was it for Valentines Day since they are so expensive. I was wrong, lol...He surprised me that Friday night when came home from work, and brought me home 2 dozen roses, one dozen yellow, and the other dozen yellow dipped in red, and he also got a big stuffed frog with an I love you balloon attached to it. It was so sweet. That Saturday we went to Amarillo and went to the mall, and went to Olive Garden. Nom nom!
On that Monday (Presidents Day) we went to Roswell, to get a Sams Club membership. I have missed going to Sams, I love it there! We will probably go about every 2 months or so now that we have a deep freezer. We ate at Denny's, it was nice to eat at someplace other than Something Different Grill or someplace like that. :)
Hope you all had a marvelous *Heart* day!

The beginning of my weight loss journey.
I have decided that I am going to take my weight by the horns and get motivated and finally loose what I need to lose that is making life so hard and unhealthy for me. I have a class reunion coming up in the fall, also, and I don't want to go looking like I do right now. I look gross, and I feel gross. Let me back up and start where it all began.
In high school I was pretty average. I weighed under 200 pounds, but I was still chunky. I've never been under 160, I don't think. But I still looked decent. After I graduated, I went off to college, and I did one year of college..I gained the freshman 15 and then some. I was not happy with myself, at all. When I came back home, I was exercising and eating right..well, mom was feeding me, so I was having to eat right, lol.
2002 was when Eric and I started dating. And 2003 was when we got engaged, and started planning our wedding. From 2003 to 2004 I lost a total of 45 pounds and I weighed 175 at the time of our wedding.
What is making me get serious and want to lose this weight. And I am embarrassed to say this. In 6 years I have gained over 100 pounds. I feel like a whale. Right now I weigh 248. That's scarily unhealthy for a girl my age. I have made it my goal to lose 30 pounds by the time my parents come out to visit in the spring and another 30 by the time we go home...that will put me at 188. Much better than what I was at Christmastime when my family saw me last, that's for sure. Of course I don't plan on stopping there, I want to get down to a healthy weight for a person my age.
I am wanting to do this without weight loss surgery, and I feel that I can. I am scared at the thought of having thousands of stitches put in me.
I will update as time goes by, I just wanted to give my story and as to why I am so upbeat about losing this weight--and why I don't want surgery.

The end of January, beginning of February.
Well, it's almost the middle of February already, which is kind of hard to believe. The year is already going by fast. The end of January brought another "snow storm", we only got 3-4 inches here in Portales, I think Clovis may have gotten a little bit more. I am so ready for Spring to come. At the very end of January, along with the snowstorm, the entire base lost power for a day-day and a half due to something beyond everyone's control. We had our good friends, Mike, Audrea, and their boys staying with us for a couple days until they got their power back. I guess that is one advantage of living out here in Portales, we don't have to deal with the crap that the base does every so often.
We got a new coffee table from someone who lives out in Chavez West for $100...it is a good coffee table too, it came from Ashley Furniture. It matches perfectly with everything. We went to Lowes on Saturday and got a table and a couple of lamps to sort of match the coffee table, and you really can't tell that they didn't come in a set.
Back home in West Virginia, they're getting hammered with snow and stuff...my parents lost power this past Saturday and they might not get it restored until this weekend.
Valentines Day is this weekend. I am a bit upset, since Eric won't take the time to tape the Daytona 500 and actually take me out ON Valentines Day...I am getting jipped this year. Stupid race.
That's about it..
