So I joined weight watchers exactly one week ago. My initial weight was 165 and tody I weighed myself and I am at 162! I am trying really hard and trying to eat right and do what I need to do. Its hard but I am trying because I want to be able to be a normal weight and I want to be healthy for my family.
I also have a consult with the plastic surgeon on Feb 15th for a tummy tuck. Regardless of the amount of weight I lose, I wil always have that loose skin from having babies. So I am going and will find out if the army is going to pay for it or not. It could get interesting if they do and I go through with it. I heard it's very painful and sucks for the first few weeks, but after that it is not so bad and can be great. So here's to hoping it goes well for me.
I have stopped drinking all sodas. I have drank only water and had a cup of juice here and there. I hate it, but I have even cut out the wine in my diet. Booo. That is hard for me as I love a glass of good wine at night with dinner a couple nights a week. Oh well. It's all worth it in the end.
So I started at 165. My goal is to get to 134. Although, I would be super happy if I even got into the 140s as that is normal weight for me. I just want to be healthy and happy.

All in God's hands
So I got a sewing machine. I have no clue how to make anything but I really want to learn. I have wanted to learn for quite sometime and I found one on Craigslist so I got it. I have played with i a bit today and am really excited about it. I really hope I am able to learn how to make things with it.
Things are going okay with us but they aren't wonderful. Financially we are in about the same place we have been in, but we will get all of that figured out. As a couple we have our ups and downs but we are surviving. I am very worried about the trust thing but I know that it takes a ton of time and that no matter what happens we will be the best parents we can be.
Right now my focus is getting Whytney's application for this school she is trying to get into completed and mailed to the place. If she gets in we will know by April 1 so it will be what it is. I think she has a real shot at getting in but it does depend on how many students they can take and all that. So we will just have to see.
Other than that things are going okay. I am just trying to get through a lot. We have had 4 showings on our house in 3 days so that is pretty huge and I am praying that something happens soon. But it is in the Lord's hands and we sit in his waiting room until He is ready to give us answers. So far the answer has been no. Either that or we are waiting and He has not replied.
I am thinking Chris isn't getting kicked out, at least not anytime soon now. Turns out they haven't done any paperwork on him and they haven't flagged him for it like they are supposed to. So who knows what is happening, if anything is happening at all. We just sit and wait. We do know though that it takes 90 days from the time the paperwork is complete so we know we have awhile still. Since no paperwork has beendone then 90 days isn't even what we are looking at. So I am thinking they aren't going to be doing it at all. I think it is going to just be dropped and that he will be okay. So in 2 years and 5 months we will be out of the army and then a civilian.
We found a house off post that is rent to own and it fits our family and is bigger so we are going to move there. We really like it and are waiting for our application to come back. We will find out on Monday. Then we can move off post, which will be nice, and if Whyt gets into this school we will know that this is the town we will reside in once Chris gets out. At least until Whytney graduates from high school. Then, who knows where life will take us.

A new year of uncertainties
So 2010 is gone and 2011 is here. I am extremely worried about the uncertainties we face going into this new year as there are so many things to be worried about. Currently, the army is trying to kick my husband out. They are gathering the paperwork and all that for it. So we wait, wondering how long it will take and if it will even happen. We are trying to prepare for it to happen, but it is very difficult when we don't know when it may happen, or if it will succeed in happening. If he doesn't get kicked out, we are going to be finished when his time is up. The army, here in Georgia, has proven to be something we don't want any part of longer than we have to be any longer.
My job is not a great one but it is a job. It doesn't pay well but it gives us the extra we need at this time. I am going to try and find a teaching position so that I am able to do what I am educated to do and what I love. Parts of me still regret giving up my contract for this year to move, but as far as my marriage and my familiy is concerned, it has been been the best thing for us. Although, there was a point where my mariage almot didn't survive this. But that is not due to the move, that is due to Chris's actions while deployed. And those actions, which did not hinder his actions of being a soldier, are now what is causing us this strife.
Chris has a plan on what he wants to go to school for and do with his life once the army is not his employer any longer. I am anxious for that to happen but also am concerned about the instability and the lack of medical insurance. I wish I knew what we were up against so that I was able to start planning and figuring things out. Meadow, especially, is in great need of this because she has her medication and such that she takes.
The future as it is is very uncertain and very stressful to think about. So today I will think about today.
