Moving to VA

I can't believe it's actually happening. We are closing on our house on Thursday, August 23 and I am leaving TX on the morning of the 24th headed first to TN to pick up my kids and then on to Norfolk, VA. Actually to Virginia Beach, where my hubby is supposed to be renting a house/townhouse/apartment/SOMETHING for us to live in. I am beyond busy lately trying to get everything taken care of here prior to the move - turning off services, returning borrowed items, donating things to charity, etc. I will be sure and let everyone know when I finally get in VA. Will probably be MIA quite a bit between now and then though... Quick update: I am finally at goal. My original goal was 124 pounds. But, I've discovered that is WAY too small. I'm at 140 now and wearing a size 8. I had an RN friend check my skin and she said I am down to nothing but skin now and am ready for plastics! I can't believe it!! Now I'm just waiting to get to VA to talk with the docs there about what to do about this tummy skin. Not worried about the arms or legs or even the boobs (a good bra is a GREAT thing, lol). But, this tummy is driving me insane!! Gotta get it gone. Then I'll be closer to 130 and in at least a 6 - which is where I wanted to be from the beginning. Hope everyone is doing well!!! I've been doing some quick reads lately trying to keep up with everyone, but haven't had much time to post. Love you all!! Hope to be back to posting lots when the move is over! Susan

Good luck with the move Susan! I have a dear friend who lives in Virginia Beach, I'd be more than glad to give you her name and stuff if you would want!!! Congratulations on the good news about your weight! It's so exciting, isn't it? I'll be thinking/praying for you and your family -- its going to be a very stressful time for the next several weeks! Take care and be sure to let us all know when you are settled!! Love to you! Holly P.S. Don't forget to update your address with all of us once you get it!!

Hey Holly!! Any chance of you coming to visit your friend in VA Beach?? It would be soooo cool to get to meet you. Thanks for the prayers. They are greatly needed. Will update when I have a new addy for sure!! Susan

Dear Susan Have a safe and successful move. I pray that all goes well for you and your family. I know that this is a stressful time but try to remember to have some fun as this will be a family memory forever. Tara

HEY SUSAN, CONGRATULATIONS ON FINALLY SELLING THE HOUSE. NOW THE STRESS REALLY BEGINS, GETTING EVERYTHING READY TO MOVE. IT'S SUCH A HASSLE, BUT SO WORTH IT. VA IS ABOUT 6hrs FROM WHERE I LIVE IN NORTH CAROLINA. WE'LL HAVE TO SET A DATE TO MEET SOME WHERE IN THE FUTURE. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE AT GOAL ALREADY. I'M SO JEALOUS, I'M STILL STUCK AT THE SAME WEIGHT, 194. I'VE BEEN THERE FOR ALMOST A MONTH NOW. IT'S MAKING ME NUTS. GOOD LUCK W/ FINDING A PLASTICS MAN IN VA. I KNOW YOU'LL ENJOY VA. BEACH SO MUCH. IT'S A GREAT PLACE. DON'T FORGET TO LET US KNOW YOUR NEW ADDRESS AND KEEP US POSTED ON YOU PLASTICS ADVENTURE. DONNA, SFY

Well, first of all, Susan...You're at Goal!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best of luck with your move. How nice to live that close to the sea! Lisa

Susan have a great trip!!! Be safe!!
