Moving on along

So 2012 seems to be rushing away leaving my head spinning! Its hard for me to wrap my mind around that this time next year.... I will be Mrs. Chatman!  So far July has been a blast! And I will continue my photo blogging!! My Iphone has offered me tons of pic space so I apparently take pics of everything! lol

Bible school was such an eye opening experience for me. For some unforseen reason, I volunteered to teach the kindergarten through 2nd graders. And the whole week before I was FREAKING out inside! I am so used to working with the older kids that I was unsure of how to get down on their level!! I had NO CLUE just how much fun it was going to be!! I was so completely in awe of just how much they soak in and learn! And their eagerness to learn overwhelmed me!! I truly had the most well behaved class of 2012 VBS!!!  I have accidentally deleted my pics of my class BUT I will share one of my most favorite pics from VBS

He probably doesnt know I took this pic. I am amazed watching him interact with the kids at church, but something about watching him with this little girl who adored him made me smile so deeply! He will be an AMAZING father some day!

I havent blogged about my furry little blessings! This cat is my pride and joy! The places I find her never cease to amaze me! I spend a lot of time alone and she makes it much more bearable sometimes :) 

AND my personal success finished off this week with getting the last part of my RN attire! I never got to officially celebrate passing state boards with things so hectic... but O well! I am still tickled pink to finally have those magic letters behind my name! I love going to work every day and taking care of people who otherwise couldnt take care of themselves! I am blessed to be able to bring a smile into a room and laughter when appropriate! Even on the most stressful days... I LOVE being a nurse!!

And with it being 10 months to the wedding... the loose 40lb challenge has began!! I have started at 188lbs and so far this week am down to 183! The first couple weeks are always easy... then the hard part begins! But I had a rude awakening last week! I had a rude awakening the other day at work. 3 of us take off running down the hall because a patient had fallen in the floor and when I got there I was out of breath... thats pitiful! With that in mind I am reminded that I fell off my diet wagon several months ago after loosing 10 lbs (which I've gained back) 

SOOOOO with a really super exciting time of my life approaching in 10 months... its time to get back in gear! Bye Bye junk food and eating terrible!

I want to do this not just to "be skinny" I want to be healthy for myself, my patients, and my future! I see everyday at work the effects of obesity and I DO NOT want that for myself! 

And my newest obsession is the Hunger games series! I seriously stayed in bed all day yesterday and plowed through the entire second book! What a thrill they are!! Seriously kept me on the edge all day! I couldnt put it down! Finished it and stopped and bought the third book! Cant wait for the second movie to come out!

So many more things to come I am sure! I am learning so much every day! I think things are settling down as far as busy busy and hopefully things can start taking shape for wedding planning :) I feel deprived not having planned anything and I am so beyond anxious to start picking things and deciding what we want for that fantastic day! As long as a certain fella is waiting for me at the end of that isle... I dont care what is there! Stay tunedd!!
