wonderful book!

I'm not much of a book reader but my mom bought me a book for christmas and she said it was a must read.  With everything that has been going on with Jeremy(view below post), my mom said that if I had not read it yet that I needed to.  This past friday night I started the book and could not put it down.  Its not a hard nor long read but puts EVERYTHING into perspective.  Its called the noticer.  Its about how to look at situations that you face everyday and/or in your lifetime!  One of my favorite chapters was the dialect that people speak to say that they love you.  It really puts it in a "OMG that is so true" kinda way!  I would say if you need a little pick me up or just a good weekend read....go pick this one up!  And if you do, please let me know if you like it! 

XOXO

Where have I been?

Busy thats where!  Things have been crazy busy around my place!  Not only with work but my sweet dear husband has really been sick!  Since November we have had countless Doctor Appts, 3 procedures done, 1 surgery and come wednesday we will have another one under our belt!  So needless to say I have enjoyed reading about everyone elses lives then to tell about mine!  Sad I know but this is just how it is!

Lets start at the beginning....Jeremy had really bad nausea and lightheadness... so we went to the Dr. The first Dr. thought its probably an ear infection....after a high dose of antibotics...didnt fix the problem!  Off to yet another Dr appt....this dr thinks it ulcers...so we schedule an endoscope....result = no ulcer.  Back to the Dr and now he wants to have a HIDA scan done and an ultrasound.......end result = Jeremy has to have his gallbladder taken out because they say that it is not "functioning" properly.

Lets fast foward two weeks - 10 seperate blood tests later - Jeremy is still sick.  One Dr thinks its an allergic reaction to the anesthesia but another Dr thinks that it might be an inner ear problem.  Which from the very beginning is what they thought was wrong so they tell us that we really need to go see an ENT.  The ENT says everything is fine with Jeremys ears.  Nothing abnormal.

So the question now is WHAT IS WRONG!  we should really be on one of those shows about mystery diagnosis!  seriously! This wednesday we are having his wisdom teeth removed to see if that will help with the pressure that he has in his head. We are crossing our fingers that maybe by some slim, wild, crazy chance that maybe his wisdom teeth are the cause of all of this.  But if its not we have an appt with a neurologist the 29th! 

 So i know that no one has probably missed my little small town life in Camden but thats what has been going on, its been pretty overwhelming and stressful but i have faith in God that this is happening for a reason and that someone will figure out what is going on with him.

Day 9

so i know technically its not day nine but its the nineth day that i have worked out with Jillian!  She really is one tough cookie.  Day one was hell....actually it was the following day that i was like whoa!  i thought i was in pretty good shape before but boy was i wrong!  so needless to say some days it is really hard to fight through the pain but i havent missed that many days...havent missed one since sunday so thats gotta be good right!?!?  well on day 5 i decided i should take some measurements to see my progress physically not necessarily on the scale.  i think that so many girls are obsessed with the scale that forget the bigger picture....its not about the number its about how you feel.  so if i gain a few pounds and loose an inch or so...i call that a victory! No matter how you wanna look at it!

so i decided i would measure every 5 days (even though i didnt from the strat) but i decided to see a day early what the progress was.....well since day 5 have i have lost half an inch in what i call the love handle area, half an inch in my behind, and 1/4 of an inch in my chest. but other than that everything has stayed the same.  so for that my hands are up in the air saying VICTORY! ill do better measurements tomorrow...its hard to measure yourself so my good man has to help! 

I am so excited to see some improvements in areas i wanted to really work on so like i said before, Jillian rocks my love handles off!  :)   Happy HUMP day!

Prayers Needed

So my friend is going to a new neurologist tomorrow to try to figure out what is going on wih her.  Well they know the problem but they needed to figure out how to get it under control....so i'm asking you to please say some prayers tonight and tomorrow that they will figure all of this out!  Thanks in advance!

30 day SHRED

So me and Jillian are on day 3, this woman is SERIOUS! She yells at me.  Like Yells!  Let's start at the beginning...i started my diet back in March....i lost the weight i wanted by May.....I have maintained my weight since then...give or take a lb or 2.  The problem is, that i want everything firm and smooth...so I decided that my normal routine of running everyday wasn't doing it anymore....it was helping maintaining but you have  trick your body to get the results you want.  Thats where Jillian Michaels is coming into the picture...she is raw, mean, and just what i need!  I dont want to lose anymore weight because i am ultimately at my goal...but if i lost some more....i wouldnt be complaining :)  So, today was day 3, and i am here to tell you, if you want to hurt and if you want something that i feel will work....try it 30 day SHRED!  Its only 10$ at your local walmart....make the plunge!  Happy almost FRIDAY!

rain rain go away

So most of you guys live in Arkansas, but for those that dont.....its been raining for like what seems to be forever!  this year already we are up 22 inches than last year.  and we are expected to get 3 to 6 more inches in the next few days...well im here to tell you that I swear we got 10 yesterday and today....those meterologist got it all wrong!  Maybe they need to come to South Arkansas and come visit us and then they will know that 3 to 6 is way to little....complete downpour for like 2 hours...that alone could give you 3.....its been this way for aleast 12 hours.  Its the type of weather that just makes you want to cuddle up to the hubby and watch a movie with a hot cup of coffee.  But instead...Im in a cold office staring at the rain coming down outside...wondering if those errands i wanted to run at lunch are really that important...or could they really wait till another day...im opting for the later day.  Happy Tuesday!

Oh So Much FUN!

This past weekend was  great. I woke up early to drive to LR for a day of shopping with my mom.  If you didnt know.....deer season has arrived.....and with that comes less time with Jeremy....so i took advantage!  Mom and I had a blast, we went all over the place to look for things to decorate my house.  Im not the type of person that just buys stuff to buy stuff or hang something on the wall because it needs it!  I have to find exactly or close to what i want!  So needless to say its been taking a while and i still have a ways to go but baby steps!   I did find some great candle holders and 2 paintings for the walls....now if i could just get Jeremy out of the woods to hang them! 

Sunday my sister came over and we got to hang out for a couple of hours before i had to leave.  It was really nice to see her...it never seems long enough though!  Mom cooked an amazing lunch... i have no idea what it is called but boy was it good!

No deer yet but we are crossing our fingers for big horns again this year!  :)
