For about A month now "this time next year," has been said daily in our house. By this time next year I'll be Shopping more ... By this time next year, I can sit in a booth ... By this time next year, I will ride bikes with the kids .... But every " By this time next year-ism" has been stated by me. I had began to wonder if Michael felt the same way I did about this surgery, was he excited to have a wife who could enjoy time outdoors with him, was he excited to see what I might look like. Did he even think about the transformation? Of course I do remind him daily, but he is a man, so who knows. Well I got my answer tonight. After spending the day in Branson and waiting in long long lines for the tram at silver dollar city, we had finally made it back to the car. I said to no one in particular, "it probably would have been faster if we had just walked..." Michael's response was " By this time next year maybe..." he let the comment fade off into nothing, but it was then I realized that he definitely thinks about it. For him though talking about it is like answering the "does this shirt make me look fat" question. He is not sure what he can say and what he can't. How did I not think of this? I quickly encouraged the conversation and made sure he knew that my feelings were not hurt at all. I have to keep in mind the feelings of those I love at all times along this journey. It is for them that I will be making the changes, their well being is #1 to me.
Speaking of the ones I love, my phone died while we were in SDC so I didn't get the chance to take any pics of the kids, but my mom snapped this shot as we were on our way out I <3 these guys so very much.

This weight loss is only from June 2015 (I had lost another 51 pounds prior to this)
Blog MissionIt has taken me a long time to get to this point, but I feel like God opened the right doors at the right time. My vision for this blog is not only to document and share my journey with those who care, but also to encourage those who may be following in my footsteps. First and foremost though, I want to give all the glory to God & to focus on his plan for me throughout the journey. What you talkin' 'bout?VSG = Vertical Gastric Sleeve Categories
