So much to say…so little time
Hello everyone!
Once again I apologize for my lack of posting over the past month. I’ve been SUPER busy w/ trying to hold down the homestead and looking for a new job. I’m still looking for a new job…BUT I have decided what I want to be when I grow up. LOL
I’ve decided to go back to school and get certified as a Phlebotomist. Yup…I’m going to be a real life vampire…well, so to speak. I’ve always been intrigued w/ the medical field and I feel that it would be a good placement for me. However, I don’t have the funds nor the patience to go through all of the schooling that it takes to become a physician or a nurse…at least not right now. I figure that by going into Phlebotomy that I can at least get my foot in the door and get my feet wet in the field that I’ve always wanted to work in. Then if I decide to continue my education and pursue something more in depth in the medical field I can.
Anyway…things are going OK for me health wise. I’ve been dealing w/ infections lately…not related to the wls at all. First it was a sinus infection…a bad one that I had to be put on Augmentin to get rid of…unfortunately the Augmentin gave me yet another infection…a yeast infection. YUCK! So yeah…lovely right? NOT.
Jason and I are celebrating our 3rd year wedding anniversary this Sunday. So being the ever adventurous person that I am…I decided that we needed to out of town for the event. Jason chose Estes Park since he hasn’t been there as of yet and wants to see Rocky Mountain Nat’l Park. So I decided to make it an eventful trip! We’re going here:
This is the Stanley Hotel…where Stephen King wrote the infamous story “The Shining”. I told Jason that we MUST take the Ghost Tour at this hotel! I’ve stayed here before…but we’re not going to this time for it’s a bit out of budget right now. The last time I was here I had quite a few encounters w/ those of the spiritual persuasion. It was great! So I’m hoping that Jason will be able to experience some of that as well.
Sunday morning we’ll be taking a horseback tour through RMNP. I haven’t been horseback riding in over 10 years or so! I’m SO excited!! Of course I’ve had to lose over 52lbs before I could do so again! LOL
Yup…that’s right…I’m down 52 lbs as of today. It’s strange but true…
Anyway…I hope you all are well and hopefully I will come back from Estes Park w/ lots of pics to show you all! But for now…I’ll leave you w/ these…taken this last weekend of my beautiful daughter Dora & her boyfriend for Homecoming:

52 lbs!!! That’s AWESOME! Dora is beautiful, she looks SO much like her mother …
good luck on the job searching.
wow she has grown up, hasn’t she?
That looks like a wonderful time, we always took trips every summer to Colorado. I don’t know if I could handle the snow and cold weather now after being spoilt on the east coast…
hope you have a good week
52 is great! Estes Park is fun. Lots of elk running around. Snowing at Bear Lake was pretty. Happy Anniversary!
52 pounds is great! It sounds like things are going really well for you right now.
Happy Anniversary!
a phlebotomist, eh?
(those people strike fear in my heart!)
Gorgeous! Hope you are all doing well, I’ll shoot ya a postcard
