WOW. Can you say slacker?!

Has it seriously been 18 months since my last blog? That is insane! Where did the time even go?

Where do I even begin? Keegan has been in and graduated from VPK already. He's now in Kindergarten and made straight A's the first nine weeks. The second nine weeks, just ended and I'm expecting the same this time too! I'm one proud mama over here! He is doing great! He is beginning to swim like a fish! He did swimming lessons for the rest of the summer of 2012 and from April to September in 2013. He's already lost three teeth and one tooth is very loose now! Let's just say he's getting way too big, way too fast....

A bunch has happened where my job is concerned. The school that I was working at closed in June, and we merged with a sister school, since we are corporately owned there are many schools owned by the same family. I took on the same position at this school - Assistant Director, VPK Teacher and Curriculum Specialist. It has been a very difficult half of a year, trying to get settled in. I even considered leaving. I interviewed for a Director position, that I turned down because I just didn't get a good vibe. (I forgot to add that I got my Director's Credential in May of last year, YAY!) Anywho, in addition to merging I've also started doing assessments as a consultant with our Early Learning Coalition. It's been a great experience. It has definitely broadened my knowledge, and my horizons.

I lost a little bit more weight, and then gained a few pounds back by being lazy. I'm working on taking them back off! All in all, I would say that I'm definitely maintaining my weight loss! I have a very exciting event to attend in May, and I DEFINITELY have to have the pounds off by then! I will come back to this at a later date.

After dabbling with one guy and then having a little fling, again, with Justin - I'm not even sure what I was thinking then, maybe I was just lonely, I dunno - I have finally found the one for me. He is amazing in all aspects of the word. Mike calms me in a way that no one else has ever. We compliment each other well and are in sync with everything. I'm not saying we like all the same stuff, but we both have a love that is accepting and that is what is important. I'm so glad that our lives have happened in the ways that they have, so that we were lead to each other. I'm truly happy with all aspects of our relationship, and I think this is a first for me.

I suppose that's all for now. Expect me to be back soon with another post! I have more to talk, or should I say type, about but I don't want this post to be like a book! LOL

Well hmph....

I came to blog this morning, yesterday's Friday Fill-Ins, but I can't seem to locate it.... The only one I can find on the blog is last weeks (that I missed) *sighs* oh well, I was a day late anywho ;)

With that being said, I've had quite an eventful two weeks.... With summer being in full force, and me training to be Summer Camp Director, it's been crazy (and fun!).... Last week we went to Gatorland! It was my first time there and it is totally a place that Keegan would enjoy. We will definitely be going there in the near future! We also went to this AMAZING Aquatic Center! Awesome area for the kids! We will be going there soon too ;) This past week, we went to Monkey Joes, among other places.... It was my first time going to this one and it was SOOOOO much bigger than the one I have been to.... This is definitely one of the children's favorite field trips! I am thoroughly enjoying this summer! I'm completely exhausted by the end of the day, but I'm enjoying it! :)

This week also marked the end of my first Body by Vi - 90 Day Challenge! I'm proud to say that I have lost 25.8 pounds and 16.5 inches in 90 days! It's been an amazing journey! I didn't realize how big I had gotten until I was putting our before and after pictures together.... I have had an amazing partner in all of this. *Jami* She lost 23 pounds and 11 inches! We are not finished yet.... With the end of the first challenge, we begin another! Hopefully by the end of this next 90 days we will both be at our goal weight! Here's two pictures of my success - One from the front, and one from the side :)



Click my pictures for a closer look ;) If you want to learn more about the challenge just click the "Body by Vi - 90 Day Challenge" link above.... I would post Jami's pictures but I'm not sure how she would feel about that! ;)

Besides that, everything is going good! I'm hopefully signing Keegan up for swimming lessons on Friday! Lord knows living in Florida, with water everywhere, he definitely needs to know how to swim! :) I guess that's all for now!
