Wow...It's been a while

So, tonight at dinner, a friend reminded me that its been FOREVER since I've blogged. Seriously, 5 months I think. Time just flies. The kids are in their preschool/mom's day out programs now. Derek goes 5 days & Kayleigh goes 3....it's a fabulous little break for me. I should be getting to the gym more but I've just been having some downtime for myself. Anyway, the kids are growing like crazy!! Derek has been so good since his school started, it's awesome. And Kay is just a little ball of energy. I seriously need to get her back into gymnastics. Her speech is really taking off now too. One of my favorite things to do now is listen to the conversations between her & Derek, It's a riot!!

As for me, In June I had a hernia repair surgery and have been holding up pretty well since. Now I've been approved for my skin removal surgery which is scheduled for December 1st. It's such an exciting idea but I'm also really scared as it's a really big surgery and the recovery scares me. I'm down exactly 100 pounds now and I'm really feeling good.

Adam is doing well. We're really excited he made E-7 as of September 1st so that rocks! He got to go to a wedding back in Jacksonville this month & had a really great time. It was just tough that the kids & I couldn't go but he was only gone 3 days. That's too tough & expensive to travel for 3 days.

My sister Jill is 34 weeks pregnant and not expected to stay pregnant much longer. The Dr told her today that she's dialating so now she has to take it easy. Too bad the Dr didn't explain that to my 3 year-old nephew...lol. Jill is having a girl this time, Jordyn. The kids and I are going home to Pennsylvania for the first 3 weeks in November to meet her & to spend time with my family. Adam's not gonna know what to do with himself. His boss will be on leave though having their family's first baby so Adam has to fill in and won't be able to go with us. So....that's all for now. I promise I will try to be better with keeping up, after all....I do have some time to do it while the kiddos are in school. Now I just have to remember.
