Hello, is there anyone out there??

I haven't written anything in so long, I'm sure no one will even read this. I have had a busy winter. I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel and it feels good. Here are the highlights:


  • My diet and exercise program are going great! I have lost 35 pounds so far and am in week 5 of a "10 weeks to a 10K" training schedule. I hope to loose 15-20 more pounds. I feel great and am very proud of my accomplishment. After I lose 3 more pounds, my BMI will be in the normal range and my cholesterol had dropped from 231 to 178. I feel like a new woman.

  • I will start teaching online math classes for Virginia College Online in a few weeks. I will do this through the summer.

  • I got a job for the fall! I will be teaching math at Briarwood Christian High School. This is where I went to school and my kids will all be transferring there next school year. We are thrilled.

  • We will not be buying a house until August. This has been a sore spot for me but God is teaching me patience and to be thankful for my many blessings. This has made me face the fact that I am a spoiled brat. Not pretty...

  • I am busy taking grad. classes in order to have my teaching certificate renewed. Yuk! I'll be done with this in May.

  • The kids are good. I worry about changing their school again and how that will affect them. I just want them to be happy and have friends who love them. They still miss PA.

  • I am still getting adjusted here. I don't socialize all that much. I'm very busy but still get lonely at times.

  • Jeremy's job is going well. He is SUPER busy and always has more to do. He likes it, though, and I think it is where he should be. He still travels a good bit.

  • Pray that I will spend time in the Bible. I don't spend time with God very much and usually just try to make it on my own. How dumb is that??


I will post some new pictures when I download them from my camera.
