Where has summer gone?

Wow!

Well It is the end of August and school has officially started! Sad to see summer go, but also excited to see my children growing.

New and exciting things are happening. Let me see where to begin...

I haven't officially stepped on the scale, but I believe my grand total on weight loss is now around 55-60 pounds. Woo Hoo! Yes It is still hard, and I'm still trucking along, but I do have my moments of just wanting to stuff myself. Thank goodness the Lap-Band won't allow me to do that, which is a good thing.

Church is still the same. We have had some hurts these last few months from some people very close to us. We have chosen this time to move forward and to allow God to work on us mentally and spiritually and help to heal our hearts. But I shall send updates about that soon.

Eddie is doing ok. He still has about 15 more pounds to lose before the Transplant team will put him on the transplant list. This last 15 pounds is horrible to try and get off! But he's determined thank goodness. My hubby got a part time job in the mornings. I think it has been good for him. It has taken a bit for us to all get adjusted to his new schedule. He had to change his dialysis time now, and it has kind of made us re-adjust how we did some things before. But it is all working out and I'm so proud of him.

Lauren is starting college again, and she just got a different job that should last her until she is close to finishing school. She is extremely excited! It is an accounting intern position which will help with school and be very beneficial.

Josh is in his last year a middle school thank goodness! WHEW!~ These middle school years are extremely hard. And other kids are so cruel sometimes, so please be in prayer and covering over him.

Going to keep this short since I'm at work. I'll holler later! ;)
