So far so good!

So Alright,

It has been almost 2 years since my last blog. I guess one could easily say that life happens and for me change was a big part of that.

So instead of a monumental amount of apologies and excuses I will simply say "Shit Happens". Plus I already said sorry ;)

A few things that I have learned in this time away is that; Nothing comes easily without work and dedication, and that Cake is the devil!!!

So moving on. I am going to start on a new wagon and will with great hope not fall from it. Maybe, bump off a few times to sight see. However no plummeting off and leaving an indent on the ground from my ever growing ass. That sounds negative but really it is all in humor.

I am no longer in Mississippi which has its good and bad points. As I have mentioned I was very upset and miss my gym ladies. Towards the end I was shaking it with the best of them and have developed a sincere love for Zumba and all things exercise.

As I said in a previous post I am making my living (well besides Sugar Daddy) with working out! The sweat still pours and the face still has that crimson glow but now I am the teacher (insert maniacal laugh). I am in deep heart with my new gym and only wish I could attend more often. With the hubs new less than stable schedule it is hard to get there, without considerable teeth pulling.

So where did I move? Well first of all hubs is now a recruiter and I had a few months of city living wet dreams when we received District Chicago. I imagined living in a hip downtown area wheeling my stroller onto public transit and having endless things to do. I was going to be so hip! Strolling my skinny jean clad derriere down Michigan ave. Giving the bird to Starbucks because I found the chic bistro to sip at. Having my finger on the pulse instead of being five years behind.

 Let's just say big mama Navy had other ideas. You see a district contains numerous stations all around Chicago as far north as Marquette MI and as far east as Valparaiso IN. When I first heard we were moving to MS four years ago I cried, then cried, then wept, then cried. I had the stereo type of overalls and banjos dancing in my head, My brother starting to become attractive in a whole new way (shame on me for believing the old cliches).

So even though we made our wish list, checked it twice we got our orders this past June and...(drum roll please) Merrillville IN. My first response was "where the hell is that"? Then we proceeded with the research and learned a few things. Besides that there is a heck of a lot of corn!

a. It is part of NWI (or northwest indiana) as the cool kids call it.
b. Still in central time (yea Adult Swim cartoons!!)
c. Finding a rental proved exceptionally difficult (I was about to collect refrigerator boxes and staple them together).
d. It is not so bad!

So far we have been beyond lucky with things falling into place. I have a job as a trainer and am working on more certifications. Aaron likes his work besides the crazy ass hours. I have made some friends and have a couple of good mom groups to attend. Things are really on their way to be settled.

It may take awhile to ween myself from my relationship with my GPS (her name is Sylvie), but things are rolling along. So that is a little back story and there will be more I am sure with blogs to come.
