Moving!!!

So our carpet is getting installed today!!! So happy!! We are moving this weekend!!! Finally back into our own house, and back on the computer!! Man I have gotten behind on Facebook and the Blog!!! I have pictures to post from Dland trip with Toby, Grase and Sofia. I have anniversary dinner pictures to post too!!! Can't wait to get settled in the new house. It is going to look great with new carpet and all the new paint!!! Hopefully everyone will come visit our new little house!!

In other news I started weight watchers again, yes again. This time I had to be serious. With all my "digestive" problems I needed some drastic change. For those who don't know I have adhesion's on my colon that they did not remove and this is causing PAIN when my food is digesting. So I cut out dairy, gluten, processed sugar, and beef. The first week was hard but soooo worth it! I lost 7.8lbs in the first week!!! I feel 80% better! I say 80% because i still have minor problems with digesting/gas and I still have the nerve damage pain. My pain has improved for the better. You can't even imagine how much pain your colon can cause you!!! I am walking a little every day and going to Physical Therapy every other week and that is helping too. I mean my sister in law Keri has lost over 50lbs doing this same diet plan. It is easy when you have someone to help guide you through what "alternatives" you can have. You may think "how can you do it without eating bread/gluten?" Well gluten is only found in white or wheat flour so I can have all the other flours like Rice flour. You would be surprised how many items you can buy that are gluten free. Me and Keri have gluten free waffles with real fruit spread for dessert almost every night. It is just sweet enough to hit the spot. We have also had gluten free pizza. How? We get gluten free pizza shells then add garlic, goat cheese (we only eat goat cheese), chicken, onions and other veggies. We even had a bbq chicken pizza with sugar free bbq sauce. It is soooo good. Better even then the old pizza i use to eat. I mean we are eating healthy and that is always going to be a challenge in this "fast food" world we live in. It takes time and effort but believe me it is worth it! Your body will thank you and everyone else will notice how good you feel and look!!!!

A Scar

"A scar is not always a flaw. Sometimes a scar may be redemption inscribed in the flesh, a memorial to something endured, to something lost." Dean Koontz "The Good Guy"

Moving...ahhh

Well it has been awhile. Why you may ask? Well we have been busy that is why!! We moved out of our house on Jan 30-31st then went on a mini vacation. Then the rest of the first week in Feb we, mostly Karson and his mom, have been finishing painting our house. Now we need to put the carpet in. When we are done with all these touch ups we can move into our new house. All our stuff is currently sitting in the garage connected to the house. We are staying with the King's until our house is ready. I have to say I am enjoying it. I don't have to cook and I am living with one of my closest friends, how can that be bad???? Well until we get into our house our computer is not in use. So most of my computer use is at work. So updating the blog and facebook has been put on the back burner. So Sofia got her pictures taken so I have some to share with everyone. She is so cute. I can't believe she is one year old already!!!!!!

I am old

So today I turn 31. How does it feel? Odd. Last year I was a little bummed to be turning 30 this year it is a little odd. It is wierd saying I am 31. I am getting old and I sure can feel it. The past 2 years have been the worst in my life because of all my health issues. I hope the next couple of years gets better. I fell on this past Saturday and it finally hit me Monday night. I woke up in the early morning(3am) on Tuesday and I was in so much pain. I took a Norco and tried to go back to sleep. I made it to work but had to keep taking Norco through out the day. Last night and this morning was rough too. More Norco. I can't take too much because eventually it just makes my pain worse. I hope the fall didn't do permanant damage to my painful areas (my abdomen, hips ann lower back)I am going to see the pain doc next week so lets see what she says. For now I am just going to ponder how old I am.

Family Dland Day!

On Sunday December 6th we had our Caringella/King Family day at Dland. We had bought my parents tickets and a night in a hotel room for their anniversary this year. Everyone was there except Toby, Grase and Sofia. Toby is really sick. :( We had so much fun. One of the highlights of the day was when my mom convinced my big brother to get his face painted like a pirate. He did it in the beginning of the day so he had it all day. The others were on a ride when me and my mom convinced him to do this. So when they got off the ride they were all suprised to see Jason as a pirate. HA! It was soooo funny. I took pictures on my phone. The rest of the day was great. It got so cold at night. My mom and dad got passes and the rest of our family has passes so now we can all go together whenever we want!! We left around 6:30pm since most of us had to work the next day. A nice suprise was seeing Kris and Erica who joined us for a couple of hours.

Here are the pictures from the "professional" photographer at Dland. I will post the ones on my camera later. Enjoy! Dez
