Been a while...

It's been quite a while since I updated my blog.  I started school this last spring, and with that, full time job, and still doing wife/mom stuff, I tend to run out of time for other things.

It's been a fair 2017 so far. Nothing major going on.
Rebecca and Michael celebrated their first anniversary in July.

Jessie finished up TCC and is transferring to University of Texas Arlington this fall.
I go back to school in a few weeks,taking 12 hours, along with still working.

Steven is engaged, his fiancee has a little 2 year old boy, so Raylen gets a built in little brother.
Raylen also turned 11 a few weeks ago.. she is growing up so fast.

Michael is still the same, not working, spends a lot of time online, in his room. Comes out to eat, and help when asked.


Daryl and I have had 2 weeks vacation so far this year. Our first week was during spring break, we spent a couple of days in Llano and Fredericksburg.   It was so beautiful there.

We get another week the end of August, we can't afford to go anywhere (never will be able to, until we get the wedding from last year paid off...  hopefully before our other daughter decides to get married someday) I had wanted to visit Key West for a couple of days for our Anniversary (Aug24)  but I also don't want to spend the extra money, so we probably will have another stay at home week, like we did with our second week of vacation in June.  Our last week (we get 4) will be the week between Christmas and New Years..


Well, again, not much going on here.  Work,school, laundry, dishes, grocery shopping, etc. My normal every day life.  I do have some fun photos of family dinner I might post in the next few days.

Oh yes -   I began a weight loss journey this summer,  I am tired of being fat, and miserable.  I won't whine on here about it, but I did start blogging about it tonight, feel free to check it out if you want. (Making Changes) I was told by someone I love, that when it came to my diet/exercise talk, they compared me to someone we know, that always has to be "better" than everyone else, no matter what you have or do, they always have better,or do better.  Anyhow, I was accused of that, because I was talking about how proud of myself I was...   SO no longer can I discuss my weight loss here at home, and I am staying off of my Facebook page about it also.. I don't want ANYONE to think I am bragging, or saying I am better than anyone..  I am just a very overweight mom, trying to get herself healthy.  I am not comparing myself to anyone..

That's the last I will say on this blog about it  -  feel free to visit the weight loss one, if you can stand my "bragging" and pride. Or if you can stand my tears when I don't lose, or have a bad day.
