January--
I started the nursing program at Ivy tech. After much hard work I finally was accepted and very nervous come January. The first semester was pretty stressful just getting the hang of things. After a lot of hard work and studying I passed with flying colors.
February, March, April, May--
Ohhh where did they go? lol Nothing too interesting happened besides going to school. And once again I passed the second semester of nursing school with flying colors.
June, July, & August--
Well my summer wasn't quite a summer. I had to still attend school so I didn't really get much of a break. My mom, Peggy and I went to St. Louis and had a great time. It was a nice break just to get away. On August 12th I moved to terre haute. We lost our house and were forced to move. My mom, peggy and I rented an apartment right behind ivy tech. Summer classes seemed like they lasted forever. Med-Surg 2 was awful and it seemed like it would never end. But Once again I passed with flying colors. This semester even tho it was awful I became close with a few of my classmates. Aubry, Cortney, Dawn, Erica and Peggy. I love them all so much and I don't know how i would have passed without them!
September--
I had a new addition to my family! She is a Peka-Tzu (Pekinese &Shih Tzu). She weighed 4lbs and was 8 weeks old when I got her! Her name is Zoe!
Zoe and Chase get along real well, they play and tease each other non stop!
October--
On October 19th I started weight watchers. It is so hard to be on a diet when everyone else isn't. When I got up to 219 lbs I knew it was time to do something about my weight. I was diagnosed with PCOS a couple years ago. Its a female problem that causes you not to ovulate and gain weight. After a procedure I had in 2008 I was told that if I wanted children I would most likely have to have In Vitro. The only way to have a chance of this PCOS of going away is to lose weight. So I decided that if one day I wanted children I had to do something about it. I want to be healthy and live a long life. I mean really NO ONE wants to be fat! So as of today December 31st 2009 i've lost 30 lbs. YAY! I want to be down to 150 by graduation which is in May.
This is a really bad pic but it shows how really fat I WAS!!
These Pictures were taken last week on Christmas eve! The one on the left you can see that my stomach is smaller and the one on the right you can see my face is thinner! 
I still have a long ways to go but I know now that I CAN DO IT!
December--
Christmas was very nice with my family! My brother and and future sister-inlaw came over and we had a very nice christmas dinner and exchanged gifts!
my mom gave me quite a scare a few weeks ago with chest pain. I rushed her to the emergency room and after alot of test and an overnight stay they said it was just stress. Thank you GOD! I don't know what i'd do if something happened to her! This past monday she had to go in and have and Endometrial biopsy, hysteroscopy and D&C. She has been having some girly problems and they wanted to check for cancer. She came out of surgery ok but we still don't know what the results from the test are! I'm just hoping and praying they come back ok!
Mom deal with it i'm putting a pic of you one here! xxoo
So i've had Alot of fun this year with my mom, peggy, dana and all my friends from school! I hope 2010 is even better..
As for 2010...
My new years resolution is to lose this additional 40lbs. I want to be 150 by May 9th. On May 9th I will be graduating from college and will officially be an RN!! After finding a job I hope to begin my bachelors at Indiana Weselyan. I plan on getting my masters and becoming a Nurse Practitioner! Hopefully specializing in OB! I want to help my mom lose weight and become healthy so that she'll be around for a long long time. I want to become closer to god and start attending church more often! I want to become closer to my BFF Dana! I want to try and be a better person and try to appreciate life and my mom more! I also hope to find my prince charming this year lol! So.....
