July Has Been Good…
…to me so far this year! On the first of the month I went to see the doctor and she reported that I am healthy and looking good and that my tests all came back normal meaning that Angel and I are good to go for starting our own little family. It’s so exciting and such a relief because we’ve been actively trying for about 7 months now and I had gotten nervous that maybe something was wrong. Now I know that it’s just not our time yet, and that God has a plan in store and when it’s the right time it will happen. The only thing I need to do is gain a little bit more weight and I’ll be set. I guess between moving and trying to find a job and Angel possibly deploying and then not and his doctors going back and forth about his surgery, I lost a little bit of weight and since I’m already tiny to begin with it is not so good. Turns out it’s also darn near impossible to gain it back quickly. Between my already fast metabolism and size, it’s hard to gain the weight. I eat more and try to eat more often but it’s hard to eat when you’re full or not hungry. I’m doing it though and I’m getting there, it’s just a process. My doctor was really happy with my progress and has given me the green light so I’m pretty proud of myself.
Then on top of that, Angel and I made friends with a couple that lives in our development a house down from us. We have really enjoyed spending time with them and on July 4th we all went to the beach and had an amazing time. We took a tent and had a couple coolers full of beer and water and snacks. We were there for like 10 hours it was insane. The fireworks were absolutely beautiful and we had an amazing time. It’s nice having friends that live so close and that we’re able to hang out with. On top of that my most awesome mommy sent us our wedding anniversary gift a few months early so we could enjoy it this summer. She got us our very own charcoal grill and we love it! We were able to use it for the 4th and it was great.
I also was able to get a job! Woot! I’m a working woman again! Oh yeah! lol. I’m only working like 10-15 hours a week so my paychecks aren’t much to write home about but it does feel great to contribute in some way and do something productive with my time. Angel is really happy that I’m out of the house and doing my own thing and as usual has supported me in doing whatever I want or feel I need to do. It’s been fun and I’m enjoying my new schedule. I’m feeling very blessed and grateful to God for all the wonderful gifts and opportunities He’s given us and I’m excited to see what is next. :)
