Hi everyone. Well its been a while since I have been on here. I guess ive just been lazy lol. Anyways I want to let you all know that I am going to Atlanta with Annie. This is a first for me and I have gotta say, I am excited beyond belief! I cant wait to meet everyone whos going. If you all have looked at my pictures on my profile, you will see a huge difference when you see me. I am 6 months out and I have lost 135 pounds. I cant believe how much better I feel. I can do things now that I never thought I would be able to do. Like walk without stopping every couple of minutes cause I had to catch my breath. I can tie my own shoes. I can fit into a 1x or 2x. I can get up off the floor without help from anyone! The main thing is that I know I will be around to see my 2 boys grow up. They are my world and I can admit I did have my surgery for my health but I also did it for my kids. They need me in there life and how selfish would it have been for me to leave my kids without me when I could have done something about it. I thank the Lord everyday for giving me this second chance at life. I also thank the Lord for bringing Annie into my life. If it had not been for her, I would not have been able to have the surgery. She is a god send and I love her very much.

NOW, to the exciting part. YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Im going to Atlanta. OMGoodness, noone knows how excited I am about this. I am just counting down the days lol.

So who is going to Atlanta? I am wondering cause I am gonna be looking for ya :)

Ok well take care everyone and I thank you all for your support. I really do appreciate it!!!!
