Winner and weigh-in!

I was supposed to post this lastnight but got busy.
Sorry!!!
The winner of those fun votive holders is...

Melissa from This Crazy Life!
Congrats!!
Send me your address asap so I can get it to you!!

So I weighed in and have lost 4.6 lbs in a week! That is great considering the ONLY thing I have changed....is no stress this week!
I have picked up running everyday! The street I live in goes in a perfect square that's exactly a mile! So I'm going to see how this helps in my journey! I'm excited!
I tend to sleep in till my son wakes up which ends up being till 10...so from now on I'm waking up at 8 and going running! Gonna start my day early and hope it pays off!
When you really want something you can achieve it!

Words with friends failure!!

Be sure to enter into my GIVEAWAY if you haven't already!!

So just a little funny story...
My aunt and sister introduced me to words w/ friends and they were constantly playing when I was down visiting. My phone won't allow that app so I just ignored it but was still a little curious.
I got on my ipod and found it and started playing!!
I was starring at the screen for about 10 minutes (no joke) trying to find the first word to enter.
fyi...I haven't played scrabble in about 8 years lol.
I couldn't figure out anything!!!!
How do people play this? Am I really just that dumb?
How do you put TL, DW, DL, TW in your words?!?!?!?!?
OHHH!!!! Because you DON'T!!!
Hahahaha yes...I thought you had to put a letter before and after those blocks.
Example: Ket"TL"e
Good thing I clicked on help and found out that those blocks are to help you win and not lose!

BITTERSWEET I'M BACK!!!!

I have been away from blogging for almost 2 months.
I won't be posting but probably once a week...maybe a little more often.
As you can tell my blog pictures are different!?
Well, I took 2 months off because I just went through a divorce.
Don't want to get into too much detail just know that this was the best decision because he didn't want responsibility of us anymore.
So J and I have moved to TEXAS :) and I'm trying my best to make it as a single mom in this couples world.
My blog in the past was about my weightloss and surviving deployments.
Now it will be more of the emotions and situations single mom's go through and me getting back on track with my weightloss. Yes, you heard it...this is the FIRST time I have EVER gained weight due to stress. Normally I lose it...but nope not this time. I gained every bit back :/
I will also have my lovely PL giveaway's every once in awhile and if you remember correctly I said I would have one once I started blogging again.
Soooo....here it is!!
All you have to do is be a follower of mine...not private.
And for an extra entry* leave some advice for either -being a single mom -returning to the civilian world -ideas on how to make my blog better!
Separate comment for each entry!

Ikat Votive Holder Pair!

Will randomly choose a winner on Tuesday night the 28th!

hello goodbye

Just wanted to drop in considering my last post was quite awhile ago.
Things have been extremely crazy here and will continue to be that way for the next month.
So I have decided to stay off the blog until things calm down and then I will catch everyone up.
And what better way to come back than to have a giveaway!?
Yep! That's right...so be expecting a big one from me in about a month!
Who knows, I may end up with something to say before then haha.
Just keep me in your prayers!!

So this past weekend 2 friends of mine came over.
Our nights have consisted of jus hanging out in the backyard by the fire and playing games.
So nothing too exciting yet somehow we have the BEST nights ever.
The things that entertain you when you live in the middle of no where hahaha.
So here are a few of our crazy pictures.
Enjoy!

Look at my red hair!! Lovin it still!

Without realizing it...I turned this pic into an oreo ad hahaha.
Can you take a guess??
Hahaha this was taken with perfect timing!

Hello everyone!!
So I am giving away an item on a friend's blog for her blogaverssary!!!
You can head on over HERE and enter to win the item!!
She is a great blogger!

Now, I have been going through alot the past 3 weeks.
I have yet to just sit down and cry about it all, but I know it's coming really soon.
I will not get personal about what's going on but your prayers are very much welcomed.
God is going to be teaching me alot the next few months and I'm going to have to lean on him and trust him every step of the way.
My friends and family have been amazing through this, and it's bringing us all closer. Weird how bad situations can do that hahaha. But oh well, I will take it!
On top of all of this...next week I will be looking for a J.O.B.....yuppp I said it.
That nasty J word lol. Scares me, but I'm slightly excited about making my own money instead of relying on the husband for the income.
