back to the old me.. like from high school..haha

I'm ready. I'm ready to get into shape. I need to take care of my body if I plan living a long, healthy life. Theres no better time than now. I'm 23 years old, and I want to be able to live life to the fullest and truly enjoy it, and not badger myself about the things I don't like, especially if I can do something about it!

For now, I'm going to strive to walk in the evenings, and if I'm feeling up to it, in the mornings from time to time. In a few weeks, I hope to get the bike i've been wanting from walmart!

I told David that I need all the motivation and support that I can get. I have a tendency of getting bored, and eating and drinking junk, because its so easy to do.. i'm sure someone can agree with me on that, right? I hope so..

So my ultimate goal is roughly to lose 20 pounds. This is something I can definitely achieve, I just need to wake up in the morning and look in that mirror and say "i can do this". So here we go!

16 and pregnant

As I'm sitting here waiting for David to get home from Georgia.. I find myself watching 16 and Pregnant on MTV. I feel such mixed emotions for these young girls (not that i'm much older by any means). One emotion or thought would be how immature they are, some of them think they just magically got pregnant, and then they think its going to be so easy once the baby comes. Then i feel sorry for them because they have trouble getting through high school and losing friends.

But then I get mad sometimes.. there are plenty of women out there that are trying to just get pregnant and can't. And then I watch this show and see this teenagers just being irresponsible and I often wonder, where in the world were there parents? I know I know.. teenagers will be teenagers, and parents can't just watch them 24-7.. but come on..

I suppose maybe I was just a bit more mature when it came to these decisions, and I hung out with people who had the same opinions on the matter. I'm 23 years old, I'm still a baby according to most adults, so I'm willing to wait for my baby. When that time comes, I want to enjoy every minute of it, I want to know that its God's plan, not just some foolishness ya know? So the conclusion of watching this show.. I'm not mad at these girls, because I understand that things happen in life that we don't always expect. But i just wish that these girls had some more time to enjoy being young and being a baby.. not taking care of their own baby.

I woke up this morning at 5 am.. the room was spinning.. ahh!! i hate when this happens.

So I attempted to go to work, but just felt so horrible, i was nauseous and lightheaded, i just couldn't do it. But i had an appt at 3:45.. So i came home and napped, went to the doc, and got my Rx filled. I have now had dinner and taken my medicine, and feeling so much better.

I just wish this dizziness would go away.. it happens every couple of months and just makes me feel so..yuck! all day long.. I wish i was a doctor and could fix it ya know?

Anyways, the doc said it was just mucus/sinus build up.. so i'm just hoping this does the trick.. we shall see. back to work in the morning. go me!

A little about my life.

September 5, 2009.. After 4 years of dating, David and I made a lifelong commitment to one another. Most people would never believe it, but I did tear up during the ceremony. I couldn't believe I was standing in front of David, about to marry him, and be with him for the rest of my life. I couldn't have been anymore excited. He is the love of my life, he is the man I knew I was destined to marry.

We trekked all the way to Mountain City, Georgia to get married in the same church that his parents, brother, and sister were all married in. It was a very quaint country church--it was so lovely. I enjoyed every minute of being with his family and most of all spending time with Mary Lou, Davids mom. I can't wait until we can go back again.

Now, we've been married for about 7 months and we have purchased our first home in Greenwood. I really feel like we needed something to call our own, to make our own. We are still learning things about each other, whether good or bad, we will always be learning new things.

We have been attending Community Bible Church in Greenwood--and just LOVE it. I couldn't wait to be able to find a church that we, me AND david, would enjoy so much. I can't wait until Sunday rolls around, and can't wait to really get in there and join, volunteer, and really get to know everybody. But anyways, just a little about me..
