The Reserve

I am moving! August 27th! 4s Ranch here I come!

So lets back up a little shall we and reminisce about the last 5 months since I last posted.

* March - Jordan's birthday and she received the Fabulous Falcon Citizen of the Month for her class. I began my Real Estate Principles class online. A couple of trips to Sea World thrown in and it was a great month!

* April - the 5th - a day that changed my future forever. I underwent Gastric Bypass surgery and have since lost 62 pounds! It is one of the best things I have ever done for myself and my health and my future. I have so much energy and can keep up with the kids! I was off of work for 3 weeks and returned at the end of April. It was a long 7 month journey to get my authorization for surgery but worth every hurdle.

* May - a month of Birthdays... I turned 38 on Mother's Day. We went to the Padres Game this month and I completed both of my online classes with Straight A's. We took a trip to San Jose to watch my little sister graduate from Nursing School. I am so proud of the woman and nurse she has become. She became engaged in February to the love of her life. She will make a wonderful wife and mother one day.

* June - Jordan graduated from Kindergarten and became a 1st grader. She is growing up! She also danced/performed in the San Diego County Fair.

* July - Took a tour of my future apartment home on the 9th. Everything fell into place magically. Jordan danced one more time @ the Fair. Brayden finally began to talk. What a difference. I helped w/my sis-in-law in the nursery @ church during VBS week. Spent some time with sis-in-law's family from Arkansas & Missouri at the beach. Went to the San Diego Zoo with my brother, sis-in-law and the kids. And threw my sister's engagement party with the Bridesmaids. What a wonderful evening!

It is now August and my next two classes begin in a few weeks. I move in 24 days. So Christina approached me about moving in with her last month while her mom was in Sweden. We found a place that is perfect. We got a great move-in special. The community has a resort style pool, fitness center, and cooking classes. I can't wait to learn to cook :-) We have the best corner apt in the back of the community with a single car garage and a view of the sunset from the balcony every evening! All we needed was her mom's stamp of approval... which she provided last night. So it is official! I will soon be a resident of North County. Moving out of the east is going to be strange and exciting! Time to start packing those boxes! I am so blessed by the LORD and can't wait for this new adventure to begin!
