You know those people that you meet and you know that they are destined to be in your life for a long time? You have an instant connection with them. You know you can trust them and you would adopt them into your very own family if you could. That's how we feel about our very own Sunny. In May 2012 our family changed forever when we brought Dacota home to live with us. With that decision came a lot of new responsibilities, a lot of new rules, and a lot of new people making decisions that would effect this little girl forever, you quickly learn to question everyone and everything. Somewhere along the way, Dacota's parents were ordered to attend supervised visits, and we were so lucky when the court appointed Sunny to supervise those visits. From the very 1st time I dropped Dacota off I knew that I could trust Sunny to take good care of that girl and keep her parents in line. When Dacota was awarded to us permanently and her visits were over, we were pretty bummed that we wouldn't see her every week and decided that we would unofficially adopt her as our Aunt Sunny. Since then, I have called on this woman countless times for advice or a big dose of honesty. By now you know that she and I have committed to have the gastric sleeve surgery together. We have settled into our sleeve buddies roles pretty well I think. I am the researcher, she has the follow through. I am the cheerleader, she's the motivator. I am the dreamer, she is the level headed one. So far along the way we have each given each other just enough push to take the next step. I look forward to this journey with her. Happy Birthday Sunny Brooks, thanks for putting up with the Price family!

I am currently obsessed with watching youtube videos by people who have been sleeved. Early on I found Clusie L. She is hilarious, she is real, a little raw, but real!
I am glad she posted this one this week. I have been really thinking about excess skin lately, I am already saggy, so here is to hoping I am a Humpty Dumpty! I also have been worrying since day one that I will miss Fluffy me. I plan on spending the next 98 days enjoying it. Then I will enjoy the new me after that! Warning - Do not watch this is you are squeamish ... |
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
