25lbs WOOT!

Surprise! I am back! Sorry it has been sooo long. It has been a crazy couple of weeks and an emotional roller coast too boot. Let me see where to begin. I guess I will start with some exciting news. I have officially lost 25lbs from my highest weight after gaining a little bit a couple weeks again and then loosing some this week. I am really really close to losing 15lbs since starting weight watchers. I want that next 5lb sticker really bad. I am in the middle of my third month with them. I am going to make it to the end of my fourth month when you get your sas (stay and succeed) charm. If I don't get to my 10% goal by then I might do another month, that is when you get your key chain to put your sas charm on:). I will then attempt to do it on my own. If I find I have problems doing it on my own then I will go back to weight watchers. I have to learn how to cook healthy things for myself instead of eating smart ones all the time at some point too.

I was watching my cat during the time that I was absent from the blog world, while my dad, Liz, Jake and my grandma were away in NY. I thought that it would be really easy and no big deal. It really wasn't a big deal I love my cat. It did however turn out to not be as easy as I thought though because she kept throwing up. I thought it was just a hairball but then to my horror it kept happening. I was finally able to take her to the vet. Getting her there in the car was an adventure in and of itself. Then I found out that she might have diabetes, thyroid problems, or something else wrong. Poor kitty cat. She has to go back to the vet when my dad comes home and have a senior panel done so that they can for sure know what is wrong and get her the proper treatment.

I am getting really close to starting school. My first day of classes is on the 24th. Then my internship starts a couple of weeks after that. I am freaking out that it is going to be really hard. I know that I can do it though. I just have to give it my best and it will be fine!

I have been reading my Bible and doing my devotional book that I very much enjoy. I haven't been doing it as much as I have wanted to but I am making an effort. I have been challenged to work toward having a quiet and calm spirit. To me in my mind I feel very far away from actually having a quiet and calm spirit. I feel that if I make a few changes though and work at it then eventually I will reach this goal :) Today's topic was about purity. It was challenging readers to stay away from anything that personally would cause them to take their minds away from the things of God. I was really drawn to a few verses they used to help illustrate these points. One was using the armor of God to combat the temptations from the Devil. The other one was about thinking about whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely. If you fill your mind with good pure things and only concentrate on them there will not but room for evil temptations to get in and lead you to sin.

I have written a little bit more of my novel. I also have started to write letters to my future husband. I really enjoy it and cannot wait till my future husband can read them someday. It was an idea I got from a friend and I just thought it was a really cute thing to do. I very much treasure these letters.

My last day at target was this past Saturday. I am going to miss some of the people that I worked with. In other news I have finished the first Legend of the Seeker book and am now on to the second one. We also watch Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief. It was really good. I want to read the books that it if based off of. We watched Motherhood that was pretty good. We are on a Uma Thurman kick. I love her. I also bought a 4 movies in one combo from target that has 4 of the batman movies on it, of which Uma Thurman was in one. Milan has moved back to town. We went to happy hour today then walked around city place for a little bit. It was fun. I am so excited that she was back. I am looking forward to the fun times that we will have together in the future. I am also looking forward to the rest of the fall stuff coming out at Bath and Body Works soon!

Well until next time, which hopefully won't be as long as last time, I leave you with this though that Jeremy's mom told him day by day, hour by hour, step by step the Lord leads us on our path so stop looking around and look up.
