Almost one year later!

Wow, I guess I've just been that busy? Really 10 months before I get the chance to sit down and blog..or at least distracted enough.

Where has Belle been in 10 months...hmm. Currently, working for a Healthcare Company that takes THE BEST care of their employees! I have TWO, yes two, not ONE but TWO girl scout troops and my kiddies are 2nd and 4th graders. They are too much fun and filled with so much spunk. My life also consists for the gym, at least 5 times a week. 30 pounds down and more to go, I've met with a personal trainer who is pretty good and my first 5K is this Sunday! And to keep adding to the plate, Greg and I signed up for Austin Pets Alive... so many things to do, Bottle Baby, Dog walking, Admin work...it goes on and on and on.

Life is full and busy, but I love it. I don't feel as if I'm wasting my life away doing nothing or things that are totally selfish. If I died tomorrow, I would be totally content with my life and although that sounds morbid, it's true. 3 years ago, I didn't have that feeling. It's been my mission to make sure that at all times (or at least trying to at all times) feel very happy with my life and satisfied.

People are always commenting on, "Wow, you're a volunteer and with no kids..." or "Great Job on the weight loss." and although both feel good, I do it for myself. I don't care if I don't have kids, I want to help fill this world with strong, self confident women--there are already enough broken ones. And thanks for the compliment, but I do it for me. It makes me feel good and I know I can do anything I put my mind too.

Moving to Austin has NOT been easy. But 18 months later, I fall more in love with my boyfriend, I have a job that I LOVE, and things that make me smile every single day all while learning to grow up a little, create and take care of a home, and most important, take care of me.
