he's coming home

Well Joey is finally coming home! The Army has approved the compassionate reassignment and they are sending us to Ft Bragg, NC. If all goes well we should be there by the 4th of July. We had orginally asked for Bragg and we were told it wasn't an option. The medical board after reviewing our medical records, said that was the only post that could meet our medical needs. I am very excited, not only is he coming home, we are moving to the east coast, but I might actually be where I can have my plastic surgery soon. Now as far as my diet goes, I need to get my but in gear I am all the way back up to 170 pounds! Thank goodness summer is here and I can get moving again and this heat will make me drink the fluids. I have a general's ball to go to in 2 weeks, going to try really hard to loose something between now and then. The 29th the kids and I are headed to MS for 11 days. It worked out great, we were going to see my best friend cause she is the one plannning the ball and she needed help with her kids. (she is a single mom) Now that we will be moving, it'll be the last chance I get to see her for who knows how long. I hope all of you have a wonderful long Memorial Day weekend. Be safe.

Mimi, It sounds like you have a lot of great news and much happiness in your future. I'm glad things are working out so well for you. Take care, Rick

Thanks Rick...i am well over due for some good news....so i'm going to enjoy every minute of this.

Mimi, congratulations! I know you can't wait for him to come home. Just take those pounds one at a time. It seems to be easier to handle them that way instead of all of them at once! Happy Memorial Day! Hugs, Stephanie

How exciting!!! You and the kids must just be beside yourselves with joy. You're not going to be too far from me in NC! We moved to High Point (near Greensboro) at the end of last year. Don't worry much about those pounds.. You've lost them once and you can again. You're going to be the belle of the ball, there's no doubt about that!

I know you are so excited to finally be able to settle down as a family again

Mimi, I am so happy for you! I know you are ready to have your husband back home. That would be great for you to be in a place to get plastics done as well! Don't worry about the lbs. You know what you need to do to lose the weight. It's a great time of the year to do that so I encourage you to stick with the plan. I gained 10lbs and am struggling to get it back off. But I am not giving up. I have not been sticking with the plan. In fact this morning I ate 1/2 of a muffin and a spoon os sausage/potatoe breakfast casserole. I know that both will make me sick and yet I still ate them! And I am sick to my stomach right now. Oh well. I'll make better choices with my next meail. And I am going to the gym today so that will help with calories. Have fun at the ball. Hugs, Robin

Almost welcome to NC. I'm glad everything is working out for you. B
