School time is here. I can't believe that I have a middle schooler. Where has the time gone? For the first time in a long time I wanted to keep Trey home and keep him close to me. As I watched him get ready for school taking pride in his long hair and "Hip" clothes I saw how naive he really was. He thinks he has all the answers and I know that this is when things are going to start changing for him. People will start becoming popular and friends may start to change. Trey has been blessed to have a really tight knit group of friend since Kindergarten. Kids that I hope that he will stay with all his friends throughout highschool.

Just a quick update, I will post more later. i have lost 20lbs on my diet since July 9th. I am loving it and thank God for the courage to stick to it. I am loving it and feeling so much better about myself. I still have 53 more to go but know that I am headed in the right direction and that God will remove temptation and keep me going forward.

God Bless you
