Only this week and next week left until I have to go back to work...I can't believe it's been 4 weeks! So far, Ive lost 40 lbs. I feel the same as I always have, I just can't stomach eating more then a few bites now, I crave everything I CAN'T eat, as if I was pregnant, and I just have a crazy almost a scar, on my stomach. Other then that, you wouldn't think I had anything done.
Ava is zooming around our new apt, which still hasn't gotten fully unpacked. And is now almost 8 months old. I think she will walk soon too.
I don't really have any pictures to post, but, I should after we do family pictures in two weeks when Tom and Aida come for a visit.

Some more info...
OKay... So, I had to go get a psyche evaluation, 3 MRI's for my back because I think I have a pinched nerve, a heart stress test (which isn't fun, because they hook you up to an IV and pump chemicals to make your heart race really hard), breathing tests, 2 Sleep studies, and a CPAP machine because I have sleep apnea, and nutritional consults to "get my ducks in a row"
If you want to learn more about the surgeon, or about the surgery, you can go to
www.azwls.com
On a less serious note, things are going well at work. Last month I made top production and best overall for the monthly awards, and got 2 extra casual days for it. And Adam and I will be doing a packing day on Saturday so that we can have a lot of our stuff ready for our move on Feb 13th... Which we are excited about because its a much nicer apartment... granted not a house yet... but atleast its an apartment.
Today, I took an understanding leadership class, and we learned about different leadership styles and different types of people, and the DISC model. I really enjoyed it because it pretty much pegged me. If you heard of it, I am a strong D, and then a C.
If you want to learn about it, and learn how to communicate better with all different types of people go to:

Well.. Thats kinda it for now.
I am trying to keep this up and blog every day like someone I know... I think I will be able to improve my communication skills that way.

So... It's Been a while...
So, It's been a while since I have posted, I guess I am in a writing rutt and don't feel like I have much to say sometimes.
An update... Ava, is now 6 months old going on 17! Well, not really... But she is almost 7 months old now and she is growing so fast! She is crawling all around and now starting to pull herself onto stuff... Which is different then what I am use to because Aven took until he was 9 1/2 months old to even get to this point. She has two teeth on the bottom now, and really enjoys crawling after Aven and going in their room and seeing what toys she can get her hands on.
Aven is two now, he turned two December 18th, and I can't belive its been that long since I had him... He is now a little man! His best friend is Jayden, every day he always wants to go over to see "jaydee" and he also now wants to take lots of baths! Which is a polar opposite of the past year when he would scream and pitch the biggest fit if he had to bathe. Aven can say lots of small sentences and is so much fun, but he is in the "terrible two's" and sometimes gets really fussy when he doesn't get his way (sounds like someone you know huh?)...
Anyway, so Adam is still kinda the same, he stays at home with the kids and takes care of them, which is a big help.
As for me... BIG NEWS... If you haven't already heard... On Jan 27th, next Tuesday... I am going under the knife and having a duodenal switch surgery... its a weight loss surgery. I have been preparing myself for this since I was 16, and as of the end of November I have finally gotten all my ducks in a row to get things going.
It is a life changing thing for myself as well as the Kids and Adam and all of my extended family. I want to be an example and make healthy changes in my life, and this will be a good tool for me. I want to live and not center my life around being inactive anymore. I want to really feel active.
Anyhow, I will be sure to blog more, and keep updates on my progress.
And we are going to get family pictures soon, and I will be sure to post them.
Hope all is well with everyone else that reads this. Take care!
