SLACKER!

Wow, I've totally been slacking with this blog!!  Sorry!!!

Ok, so what have I been up to?  Well, Dad had surgery on his back a week ago.  He came through well and (knock on wood) his flopping foot seems to be getting better!

I was able to talk to my Love on the phone a few times on Sunday.  He called me in the morning, just to make sure I definitely couldn't make it to GA for the day (um, 7 hour drive, no I couldn't make it for the day).  His mom and sisters were at Ft. Benning visiting him.  He wanted me there to meet them.  I wanted so badly to be there.  Unfortunately I've got financial restraints.  Anyway, we texted a few times that same afternoon and joked around, which was so nice.  :)  And then he called me that evening to tell me that his mom and sisters said, "Welcome to the family!"  You have no idea how happy this makes me!!!  They have decided to accept me whole heartedly.  And his mom doesn't even care that I already have kids!!  This is big because it bothered her a lot when she first found out.  :)  Oh yeah, and I made all of the other Army Wives jealous because none of them got phone calls that night.  LOL

I've also been working my butt off!!  I have been working out every single day.  Going to the gym, going to Turbo Kick classes, going to Toning classes, and doing the Shakeology Workouts at home.  I must say, I am noticing a difference in my body already.  And I LOVE it!  <3  I've also been networking a bit to get others involved with BeachBody. . . either as customers or as coaches.  If you happen to be interested, check out my website!  www.beachbodycoach.com/Zariena

I applied for a job in TX, right on post.  It is an easy job, helping kids with their homework.  But it is salary and it pays just about as much as I was making when I was teaching full time in NY.  I'll let you know what happens with that.

While looking for jobs in TX, I've also been thinking about other trainings and getting my Masters degree.  I want to get a Masters in exercise science.  I've also decided I want to get certified to be a personal trainer, a Turbo Kick instructor, and a PiYo instructor.  I want to take Ft. Hood by storm.  I've already got some people interested in hooking up with me once we are all there to get fit, so I'm hoping it blossoms!  If it does, along with my BeachBody Coach stuff, I just may not have to get a "job"!

Speaking of not having a job, I had to go to an orientation today.  Unemployment made me go to an orientation that would teach me what help is available to help me get a job in FL.  Of course, this was completely useless to me because I'll be in TX soon, but oh well.  I had to do it in order to keep getting my unemployment benefits.

Oh yes, I also may have kind of gotten permission from my ex to take the boys out of state.  He had a really weird way of saying it (dealing with dreams and whatnot) but he seems to be at peace with it and he says he "knows it has to happen."  I'm still going to try to get him to sign something in front of a notary though.

I've also tentatively set a plan to visit VA and NY before my Love has to report to Ft. Hood.  :)  This has made my family very very happy!

Ok, I'm sure that isn't everything, but it is all I'm writing tonight.  I'll try to write again tomorrow.
