Earlier this week, again, I tried on a few things that I was for sure weren’t going to fit and they did.  Ever since Easter my weight loss has kicked in and I’ve been steadily going down.  I’ve lost 10 more lbs.  I’m starting to go through my closet and getting rid of a few things.  A lot of things I’ll wear as long as I can, but I’m at a point where I’m finally able to say good-bye to several pieces of clothing.  Feels good to clean it out a bit, and not really worry about keeping it around for when I gain the weight back.  Might be TMI, but I’m also at a point where I’m going to have to clean out my underwear drawer too.  Ha ha.  They are just all hanging in the butt and I need a smaller size.

This week, my sister and her family were visiting for the kids Spring Break.  It was so good to spend time with them….even if the weather hasn’t been perfect and caused us to change plans.  Love the sound of “Aaaaaaunt Amy!”  and all the giggles 🙂  They have walked with me too, so been trying to keep that up.  I missed walking the last few days when it’s been so cold out.  Plus I was feeling a bit worn down.  Hopefully I can get back on track now.  I sure wish my immediate family all lived closer.  It’d be fun to have the girls (and boy) over more often for sleep overs and outings.  It’s too bad we didn’t get to do all the things that we had planned, because of the weather we had.  I didn’t get in the family photos Billie was wanting either, since it got so rainy and cold.

So, I’m sad that they had to go home, but I know they were ready.  Sad I also had to go back to work today. Lots to catch up on.  There will be a lot of changes at work in the coming year, with our new manager.  Hopefully it’ll be all for the best.  I think he’ll be good at straightening everything out.  Change is just never fun, but when it makes things better in the long run, that is always good.  Just hope I make it OK through it all.  I’m looking forward to later this summer, seeing my brother and his family!  I’m hoping it all works out for them to visit.

I’ve had a lot of requests for photos the next few months, so my calendar is filling up and I’m also looking forward to working with a fellow photographer to work on my photography skills.  I’m EXTREMELY hard on myself and don’t feel like I do a very good job and look forward to learning more.  I feel like I’ve lost some of my passion for my hobby the past several years and would LOVE to find it again.  I know I have some creativity somewhere deep inside me.

Well – that’s all I have for now!
