Ahola!!!

I know I have not been around but life is insane!  Exciting though.  Workload as usual is heavy.  But I manage.  But I finanlly closed on my house on Monday!!!  I am a first home owner!!  I am so excited and cannot wait to get moved in.  I am getting some work done to one of the bathrooms.  A complete remodel.  Oh my is it coming along nicely.  I can not wait to see the final product.  There is some other work we need to do before we get moved in.  Plus there still remains the issue of the infestation.  I had Orkin out on Monday and they sprayed really well.  They come back on the 19th to spray again and we move in that weekend.  I think I may bomb a couple of times to help with the process.  It will be nice to have the extra space. 

On my jounry I doing well.  Of course the weight loss has slowed dramatically, but I am fine with that.  It is expected.  I am down to 195 and with an ultimate goal of 175, that is good.  I will be fine with the 180s.  Shot, I am even fine with were I am now.  I am so please and never imagened I would have done as well as I have in the 16 months since surgery.  It has changed my life and liberated me!!

Congrats on the new house!!!!!!  So glad it finally happened for you!!!!
