Update!!!

I can't believe it has been 2 years since I last blogged. As I sit here typing, I cannot believe how much has changed. I am now a mom. I knew 9 years ago when I first met David, that he would be the father of my children. It took us 4 very long years to conceive, but little miss Emma Nikole was worth every minute of waiting. So much has changed though. I never in a million years thought that my baby girl would grow up not having a chance to meet one of the most influential people in my life, my dad. I know that he would be so proud of who I have become, it is just so hard every day to look at that tiny face and know that she will never have a chance to hug her grandpa. Another big change is my weight. As you all know, 2 years ago, I had gastric bypass. I went from a size 28/30 weighing 323 lbs to a size 8/10 weighing 162 lbs. I have 12 lbs to go until I reach my ultimate goal. I want my tiny human to be proud of her momma. I go to fitness bootcamp 2 times a week and I love every minute of it. Hard work and dedication definitely pay off. What else is new...David is deployed again, we are anxiously awaiting word on where the Navy plans to send us May 2014. I decided that when we get settled in our new duty station, I will be going back to school for early childhood education. I cannot wait to finally get a degree! I think thats all for now. Love y'all!!
