Us lately...

I havent posted in awhile so I thought I should update this thing. Along with nothing really happening, I don't have any pictures either so sorry! So like I said, nothing new these days! Collin is feeling MUCH better from his two back surgeries. He did have to go to the ER a few weeks ago because his stomach was hurting and they say that his liver was failing! They said he should be fine after some tests, but he did have to go on a very low-fat diet. Did I mention that Collin has lost 15 pounds since his first surgery? So why almost liver failure you ask? Well, remember those two back surgeries....since he was on a bucketfull of painkillers, it almost killed his liver as well, also known as tylenol poisoning. So they did a ton of blood work (im suprised he didnt bleed out of all the holes he had) and a CT scan and they said he dodged a bullet...whew! He is back to almost normal these days. Still is resting but getting out alot more and even does the dishes most days!

Due to Collins ill health, he will NOT be deploying this September as we were planning! Its a little bittersweet because I know he wanted to go (he says 50/50) and get some experience and serve with all his buddies that are going. Yeah, a house and lots of money wouldve been nice but I do get my husband for a year, so yeah, totally worth it. He will be looking for a job here soon while I go to school this September to keep him busy until he starts his schooling back up in Janurary.

Like I just said, I'm planning on returning back to school this September to finish up! I could'nt be more excited! I will graduate with my associates degree after this semester and then will have one more year before I graduate with my BA. I changed my major from pyschology to exercise physiology and taking alot of fun classes minus the mandatory statistics class. I did however was able to weasel my way out of taking physics which would probably be just a bad.

I am still working part time (although, I got a second raise and a nice little promotion) and enjoying it for the most part. I am determined this time to loose weight before I return to California in two months for a short visit before school starts. I am counting calories this time, which I have never tried but so far Im doing good! I started just last week and have already lost 4 pounds! I go to the gym EVERY day with the a Sunday exception and stay for at least an hour. Instead of driving, I'll walk to work or the bank which really is only takes me about 5-7 minutes to walk but I guess every little bit helps. I think my main hurdle is consistency, so Im trying to get in a good routine going every day until it becomes a habit. Oh and Im not taking a single picture of myself until I'm at my weight goal.

So anyway, thats whats going on up here in Idaho (which is beautiful right now by the way). Hope everyone is doing well! Ok bye.
