Let's Try this Again!

Wow!  Where has the time gone?  So much has changed in the 3 years since I have last posted a blog. As I sit to right this blog, I wondered what happened? Why did I stop blogging? Well, Life Happened, that's what.  I've never been really good about being consistent with just one thing.  First, Myspace, then Facebook, Blogger, Twitter, Instagram and so on....  I guess the one thing I have kept up with is Facebook.  

 So,  the short story catch up since I've been gone - I am still a Single mom of two wonderful Amazing kids!  Mr. K is now 7 years old, in 1st Grade and plays Football.  He loves Lego, TV and annoying his sister.  Ms. B is now 6 years, in 1st Grade and a Cheerleader.  She is loud, sassy, loves Stuffed Animals and loves with all her heart.

Me?  Well thats a whole different story!  Somewhere in the mix I've stopped worrying about me. Guess that's the issue with most Moms. At least the Moms I know.  I've been so focused raising my babies, and attempting to give them a wonderful life that I forgot to take care of myself.  

 My hope for this blog moving forward is document my new journey with VistaLife and weightloss.   I've written out my Day 1 Journal that lays out the harsh truth of what 30 years of not so great decisions will do to your body.  I haven't had the heart to publish it just yet.  It's very honest, so honest it hurts!   It's scares the living out of me!  But the truth hurts.

 I hope by blogging my journey, struggles and hopefully successes that I might be able to help at least 1 woman!  That's the ultimate goal, help at least 1 woman.  My goal is that blogging with help hold myself more accountable for my decisions.  So, bare with me.  I've never been a writer (math was always my subject).    

Verse of the Day:
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight."  Proverbs 3:5-6

3 Days Travel then 46 hours on a Bus

Let me introduce you to someone. This girl woman is truly one of the best people I know. She means the world to me and I'm not afraid to say I love Her!! She is the greatest friend sister, we may not be blood but I often feel closer to her than my own sister! We have been thru thick & thin together. We can not talk for months, like would ever go that long without talking, but when we talk its like we've never been apart. I can talk to her about anything and never worry about her judging me. This is Cassie. My sister. My Best Friend.

Now, with Cassie comes this amazing man. He is lucky enough to be married to her and the father of 4 wonderful kids. He is Staff Sgt. Justin Guerra in the United States Air Force! I am truly proud of the man he has become! He is a wonderful husband, dad, uncle & Brother! I feel truly blessed to have him in our lives! I love you, Justin.

Now, these 2 have blessed us with 4 of the most wonderful kids. Kids that I am happy to say I am their AUNT! Seth Allen, 7. Christopher Damion, 6. Krystina Renee, 4. Adrianna Marie[my namesake, whom I have never met ], 21 months. I love these kids just as much as I love my own! I will always be there for them. There is nothing I wouldn't do for these kids.

Chris lives in Texas with his mom, that's why he isn't in the group shot. Well, since March 2006 part of my heart has been living across the ocean in Okinawa, Japan. Well, about a week ago, we got news that Justin's grandfather was terminally ill with Cancer. It's pretty bad right now, we've been praying he would be able to fight this but it looks like it's coming to an end. Justin was able to get leave from the Air Force to come home to visit his grandfather. However, they would not pay to fly the entire family home to Texas. Justin fought to have his entire family come with him. They finally got onto a Miltary Hop Flight, which is free but you have to travel with the Air Force and their many stops. Well after days of travel & bumped flights from Okinawa. The ENTIRE family left Fairfield, Cali headed to Fort Worth Texas on a bus! After a 46+ hour bus ride they will arrive in Fort Worth, TX today at 11:30am. I'm so excited and hoping to meet them at the bus stop to welcome them home! We are so grateful that they were able to come, even though it's not the greatest reason to come home. But God is Great! He has allowed the entire family to be together before Justin's grandpa passes. God bless him! Please pray that grandpa find comfort during his days and may God watch over him until its time for him to walk with our Father!
