It's been a LONG time! Well, a month at least. I'm settled into my place in Minneapolis, just got back from vacation in Disney World last night and have one more day of vacation to rest at home before going back to work on Friday.

 

I got a second fill about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Haven't lost much weight since then, but I also was eating a lot of not-so-healthy foods while in Florida. At least I walked about 10 miles a day in the 90 degree heat! :) I can most certainly feel a difference in the amount of food I can eat. It has taken some getting used to, that's for sure. More than once I ate too fast and paid the price, but I've gotten the hang of it! Just have to make better choices now that vacation is over! Ha!!

 

I'm down another pants size! I will get new pics soon...I actually have an appointment for a photography shoot in about 3 weeks! My sister, whom I have not seen in 2 years, is coming into town for a few days and we're getting pics together!! I cannot wait! :smile2:

 

I've been volunteering at the theater here in Minneapolis. Got to see Wicked for free 4 times! Woo! I think I'm going to be a volunteer captain because I used to volunteer at the theater in Cincinnati as well. It's pretty fun and a great way to see shows without paying anything! :)

 

I'm going to Target House in Memphis next Thursday to photograph the kids and their families at St. Jude's hospital. I'm looking forward to it, but nervous at the same time. I'm not sure how I'm going to handle it emotionally. I'm a very emotional being, especially when it comes to sick kids. I'm positive I'll be excusing myself to the restroom several times to cry. :frown: But it's all going to be worth it to be able to give these families the gift of portraits. That is something they will have no matter what.

 

Well, I will try to get on here more often. :smile: How is everyone else doing out there??

What you do is so important! You have the ability to FREEZE time! The kids and their families will be so grateful.. Just try to treat them all normal and have fun, that is what they really want and need, I think we all do. I felt handicapped before I took this weight off, I thought people looked at me with pity and it made me feel less normal. I try not to glare anymore at people like I use to. It is hard not to~when I see "Me" the "Old Me" in them, I just want to go over hug them, cry with them and tell them there is an alternative to being in that condition. You certainly have a challenge with this photo shoot. You have a gift for sure. Enjoy the time with your sister, and I look forward to viewing those pics!! Florida is cooler this week, cold front moving through, feels like Fall, although I am further up in the Panhandle. I love Disney World, glad you came and had fun!

First of all, WE MISSED YOU!! It has been forever, but I'm so glad that things are going well. :)

Second, I don't know if I'm more jealous of Disney World or Wicked!

Third, did I mention that we missed you?

Fourth, congrats on the smaller pants! The world is just a wee bit brighter in smaller pants. :)

Hope you can visit more often, we sure do love to hear from you!!

Glad to hear you are doing so well and had a good vacation down here in Florida. Unfortunately, the weather has been extremely hot, but you probably lost some weight sweating in the heat.

I haven't seen my twin sister since May. I will be seeing her in November. I miss her so much, I can't imagine not seeing her in 2 years. Have a blast.
