Losing The Baby Weight.....AGAIN!

Last August I started the Weight Watchers diet. I did great! I lost about 17lbs! That's pretty awesome! But bad things were coming up about October: Auburn weekend, Halloween parties, Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthday parties. and there was NO way I could miss any of these wonderful foods because I was on the diet. So...15lbs later, I'm back where I start! GRRR!! How did this happen? When I was a teenager I could eat my weight, which wasn't much, in junk food and NEVER gained a single pound. Double grrrr! Then when I got pregnant with Loch and gained 50 POUNDS, my skinny self would never be seen again....OH WELL! I only gained 25 lbs with Jaxon and I've already lost all of that. I'm just still working on what I gained with Loch 5 YEAR AGO!! So, few weeks ago, Wes and I decided to try it again. But this time we've decided that every other Saturday we would go out and have whatever for supper, so we don't get burned out! Sounds great! I've been on it for about 10 days and I've lost about 5 lbs! So, maybe my skinny self isn't too far away...hehe! Yea RIGHT! :)

Update On Life

Nothing huge has been going on with us. Just the same old, same ole! Lochlan has about 2 weeks of school left until Summer break. I've decided to let her stay out of school this summer, since she'll be starting BIG GIRL school this fall. (Wow, I still can't believe my baby is starting school, really sad) We are planning a trip to the beach to the beach house. I'm so excited! We haven't been to the beach in about 3 years. Wes and I decided we needed to take one last vacation before he starts Pharmacy school. It will be the last vacation for about 4 years. Eeeek! Sadly, this is all that's been going on. So, nothing major to blog about!

The Pharmacist

Since day one I have ALWAYS been supportive about what Wes wanted to do when he grew up! :) Almost 2 years ago he wanted to be a Police officer. Yes, its an extremely dangerous job but being the supportive wife that I am, I wanted him to do what made him happy! A degree and one year later...NO ONE was hiring police officers. So, what now?

I always knew deep down that Wes wanted to do Pharmacy. So, when we finally decided that Police wasn't the best road to take I suggested Pharmacy school. Yes, that means 4 MORE YEARS of school but what a great pay off! So, about 6 months ago he started taking classes he needed, take test and other things that were needed before he could even apply.

Fast forward a few months and Wes was at work when he got the email from Samford. HE GOT THE INTERVIEW!! He got all dressed up in his suit and tie and when and gave it his all! He got to tour the campus and from what he has told me its beautiful! He thought he did well, but he said you can never tell! Over 300 people went in for interviews but only 120 actually got it. Great, now I'm REALLY nervous!

Fast forward to Thursday, April 1st. Wes calls me from work and just talking like normal. What you up to? What are the kids doing? Blah Blah blah and then says "Guess what???? I got in" I thought he was joking because it has only been 6 days since the interview and they said it could take up to 2 weeks before he heard anything. I burst into tears!

This is going to change our lives. I am so proud of him! Now if we can get through these next 4 years we will be set for life!

Wes, I am so proud of you! You are such an amazing husband and father! I LOVE YOU, Dr Mosley!! :)
