MIA a bit...

Good am all, I've been here and there and well, a lil' bit of everywhere and I wanted to stop in and say "hello!" and try to catch up a bit with everyone. It's been an interesting last 3 months to say the least but I'm plugging away with many things. I am struggling with my weight a bit but am focusing once again. It is easy and hard to believe I will be 4 years post op on the 29th of Jan. Being that today in the 1st of Nov I've got small specific goals I'd like to reach before then. I WILL get there! The dynamic of our family has changed. My sis is going through some rough times and we are helping her with both my nephews, she is working full-time and in nursing school full-time, Mom has just graduated from college and gotten her degree and will be going to work as a Medical Assistant (YEAH MOM!) and connections have changed for me. Some I am still in contact while others and I have chosen to take different paths. Then there are our buggas and combining all the responsibilities with the daily goings on there have been times when I am not sure if I'm coming, going, here there and have been feeling like a stretch arm strong doll. Anyhooooo I hope everyone is doing well and I hope to hear from ya'll! If ya'll are interested I have uploaded some photos on my profile with this whole "new" system deal. I am stoked as the ones of me in the black dress are tear jerking as I didn't think I'd be able to get into the dress EVER. But, I have! Take care, Kitty Kat

Girl you really know how to pose for a camera. Your pics are always gorgeous. I love the black dress. Very nice. Keep your chin up and just keep pushing forward. Love ya. Courtney

Hey sweetie, Awww thx! It means a lot. I WILL keep pushing forward. I am no quiter and I've got an AMAZING support team surrounding me now more than ever. This am/pm I accomplished something I never thought possible and even if the finalized project does not turn out exactly how I envision it will I am VERY proud of myself and my determination! Thx for being such a wonderful connection. I'm glad we are strengthening our friendship a lil' more each day. Hugs, Kat

Great photos. You should be so proud of yourself and I know you will reach your goals. CathyA

Hey Cathy, Awww thx very much! I appreciated your compliments and support. I WILL reach my goals and I wish the same for you! Take care, Kat

Hey Kat! I LOVE the black dress; you look great in it (Of course, you look wonderful in your other pics too) Wow...I had read through your profile a few times over the past year and never put the numbers together that you were almost 4 years out. That is so great!!! You've come so far. Hope things start to calm down in your life soon. With all you have going on, you should really be excited about getting into your little black dress Keep it up! Julie

Hi Julie! Thank you! It's REALLY pretty I like it a lot. I thought I wonder if this fits and my hubs said "so try it on already and I will take pics" I was soooo nervous...but I did and WHOA! Life...ain't it a furball of fun sometimes? I will bounce back I always do...besides...I see things a bit different and I got some deep rooted connections that are beside me every step of the way. Take care, Kat

Hey Miss Kitty Kat, So glad to see your mug on the board. You have been missed!! I can't say much because I do the come and go thing too. Life is so busy that there are times when you just can't spread yourself but so thin. It is amazing that it's been almost 4 years since your surgery. Even though you are having your struggles now, I am sure you wouldn't change a thing. I know for me, this has been the best single thing I've ever done just for ME!!! I checked out your pictures and they are all great. Your "buggas" are precious and you, your husband and girls make a beautiful family. Stay encouraged and know how far you've come. You are in my prayers for continued success. Lots of Love Kathy

Hi Kathy! Thanks! It's nice to be missed. Thanks for the compliments and prayers. It means a lot. I needed some time to work on my family and myself but I will not forget my family here as well. The dynamic has changed a bit with both but you are right Life happens. Nope I wouldn't not change what I've been blessed with. I am doing wonderfully and will plug along and bounce back. Hugs, Kat

Hi Sunshine....Sorry I have been MIA also. Lots of things going on. Am leaving on Friday to go to Jill's to spend the week with her son TJ while her and Jon go on a much deserved cruise together. Then I am going to Myrtle beach for a week the next week. Then hopefully up to MD to spend some time with the "Tink".... Take care and the pictures are incredible... Hugs Betsy
