Wow! I can't believe how long it has been since I blogged. My life has changed drastically! I have had two surgeries, my two daughters have gotten married! Life has been FULL of CHANGES! I have tried to scrapbook all of these life changing events...
After we got home from going to Arizona May a year ago, I started on a life changing journey to change my life and the direction that I was going in....I decided, after alot of research, to have Bariatric Surgery. On June 16th 2011, I had the Roux-en-y Gastric ByPass surgery. It completely got rid of my diabetes. It has been a struggle to learn how to eat again, but at the passing of the complete year I have lost 88 pounds!!
While losing this weight, my dear husband decided that we needed to go on the Virginia Creeper Trail (an old railroad trail that has been turned into a trail for walkers, bike riders, and horseback riding). We road bikes (the first time I have been on bike in over 25 years! I had fun until I wiped out coming off of a train tressel and tore my rotator cuff. So in October I had surgery for a rotator cuff!
In December, one of my twins became engaged while she was in Guam visiting her boyfriend stationed in the Navy there. Also, in December, on the 30th, my other twin daughter was here, she had been living in San Fransico, and her boyfriend from Wales came to visit for Christmas and they eloped!!
All of 2012 has been planning the wedding of my dear daughter that was engaged. She returned to Hawaii in February to be with her intended while his sub was in dry dock in Pearl Harbor. They both flew home on the 22nd of June and were married on the 28th of June. They left to go back to Hawaii on the 5th of July! So this has been my roller coaster of a year since I last blogged.
I will have you know that I did indeed dance at my daughter's wedding! I have many, many pictures to scrapbook. I have been doing a little here and there. I am going to try to post some that I have done to show you I have been "crafty". I am planning on posting more regularly here. My life will settle down some now!
