My love story....

I married my handsome hubby, Pat, back on July 4th, 2009!  There were literally fireworks that day!  We met the old-fashioned way, on Match.com, and my life hasn't been the same ever since.  He made me a mom to my three step kids, but I love them as if they are my own.  He has loved me unconditionally, made me feel beautiful no matter what size I am, has been my best friend, and my adventure buddy.  He is excellent at building things, and I am excellent at coming up with MANY project ideas.  He is great at cooking, I am super EXCELLENT at eating what he cooks. We are the couple that WW dreams of.....here comes the sarcasm!

Our Family....

We are blessed with our three kids: Ashlee, Riley, and Skyla. I truly believe that one of my purposes in life was to be a mother to these three. We are empty nesters now and it is a whole new worry that comes into your life when the kids are creating lives of their own.  We are super proud of all three of them and cherish all the time we can spend with them now that their lives are taking off.  It is really rewarding seeing them all succeed and find what makes them happy.  

But This Is ALL About Me....

I have a very creative side and I do a very uncreative job in what I call my "real life".  I wanted an outlet to be creative, use my sense of humor, and chase one of my dreams to be an author.  I enjoy writing, and while it is a stress reliever, it is also something that keeps me busy so that I do not spend my entire free time snacking.  I decided to create this blog to just be able to vent about my struggles with weight loss, how life is so incredibly unfair, how this world is not meant for fat people, and just vent about life in general.  I am hoping by doing this, even if one person can find it relatable and help them feel like they aren't alone in their challenges in life, then that is awesome.  I do hope that it makes many people laugh.  In life, we need to stop and just laugh at the sheer audacity of it all!  You are welcome to laugh at my expense, as I sarcastically vent my trials and tribulations.  Enjoy!
