What a summer it has been. God has provided for Alex and I and we are doing well. Even though hours got cut at work, the front of store has helped us out and also picking up at other stores too. I have still been able to get my 40 hours a week unless I take off extra time to travel with Alex for her visits back home. She has been to 2 church camps and now off visiting grandma and grandpa in Indiana. I have walked 30 miles in the last 5 days and as long as I keep on my medication for foot my injury seems to keep up with the workout. In December I weighed nearly 300 pounds and now I am almost to the 20's. Some keep saying I am not eating but I am. I just am not hungry like I used to be. I eat very little. I am happy again and living life. In two weeks I will be taking motorcycle lessons. Just something I have always wanted to do and finally getting the guts to do it. Still debating if I will buy one to ride or not but until then I will be content in learning and riding on ones with friends. I have also come to the conclusion that I don't want another child, but want companionship. I miss just sitting with someone just talking, playing games, watching a movie or even going for a walk. Iowa is our home now and feels like home to both of us. I have great friends out here which I am thankful for. One is family but seems more of a close friend than a relative. I love God so much! Just wish I wouldn't turn to my own desires first alot of times. School starts in 3 weeks (Aug 18th) I can't believe she is in 5th grade. Before I know it she will be off to live her own life. Then what will I do? Hope you are doing well.
