The Greatest Thing is Life

My husband is my best friend. It’s funny how perception changes when someone you love very much, as a companion and parther in life, confesses this to you. I feel like the way I’ve delt with our difficulties can be different now. Friends prove to be friends. This is very important to me.
I went shopping at Old Navy today and bought some really snazzy jeans. Regular sized jeans. Bought at a regular store. And they’re alsmost too big. December 31 marks the one year anniversary after WLS. 112 pounds gone. Keep it UP!
Not sure what we’re going to do for New Year’s Eve. I think we’re going to go spend the night at a hotel, but I haven’t made the overnight arrangements yet. It’ll be nice to get out with Charlie. We deserve a nice beginning to a nice New Year.
2010 is going to be a good year. New changes and adventures for our family. Joy is going to be starting school. CHarlie will be starting a new job. I’m looking forward to it.

Vodka Cranberry, the charging agent of choice tonight. I sit watching Wedding Crashers wishing my life were as simple as what John and Jeremy have to deal with. No responsibilities, no ties, only the prospect of love or at least the prospect of something one might consider entertaining. A ride on a yacht, some afternoon backyard football; Gee, I wish my life were so easy.  My two girls are sleeping upstairs. I look at them always and something comes over me. An overwhelming dance of happiness flows from my eyes to theirs, even in times of tears and time-outs.

My husband has fallen asleep next to me on the couch. It’s amazing how men can fall asleep in the most uncomfortable looking positions. I wish we were walking on a beach, talking about important things like career goals and dreams of the future, listening to the waves hit the sand. That will happen, in the near future. We somehow make a beach vacation happen. Last year we took our vacation right before I started a new job. He was a regional/remote user so we actually spent two weeks in Myrtle Beach. It was nice, and we’ll do something like that again in 2010.

I have so much to be thankful for; a beautiful house, a beautiful family, a wonderful husband.

A friend of mine is in the hospital right now with his wife. She is having substantial contractions and they are a few weeks early. I raised my hands and prayed to God that he would see them safely through.  I can’t fathom the emotions they are experiencing. All I know is that I would be scared. A woman has to completely commit to the word and advice of the doctors. Hopefully, the doctor is someone they have created a relationship with and not someone they don’t know.

I’m drunk. I need to go to bed.. lol

Thinking about a lot. Another ‘aha’ moment has come and I’m inspired to make improvements. There are a few things that I know I want to do, but feel like a can’t, or don’t really know how, to do them. You can read books, articles, and web-sites, but the ability to actually perform these necessary actions has to come from within me. I have to be able to take what I read and apply it to me.
I go about these things all wrong sometimes and end up getting tangled in a web of confusion and befuddlement.

The Goal: Living as a Christian, as an example of someone who’s truly accepted Christ into her heart, walking the walk of prayer and devotion;
protecting and nourishing my body, as the Bible states in -1 Corinthians 6:19-20, ” Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit … Therefore Honor God with your body.”
