Hello out there...;-)

Me again. Just a short update.....

Jay's job is still going well...though we may be moving up to Washington State instead of down to Southern CA. Jay has put in for a position at Ft Lewis...it's the same job that he is doing down at Ft Irwin. It's a federal job and they are giving priority to veterans. Being that he is already in the system, we are hoping that will give him another advantage.

I really would prefer WA to CA. Ft Lewis is close to Tacoma, Seattle, etc and the weather and scenery is more like New Zealand, but not quite as beautiful, of course I'm biased :-). I am not looking forward to moving to CA, especially since we will probably be living in the Barstow area. It's at the entrance to the Mojave Desert and gets really, really hot in summer. They also have more snakes down there, including the deadliest rattler in Nth America, the Mojave Rattlesnake. Did I ever mention that I'm terrified of snakes!!

Weightloss is still going well, especially now that I'm able to exercise. I saw a short video that a friend had taken of me, as I was about to go in for my gallbladder surgery. Looking at that and at me now, you can really see the amount I've lost. I've gone from a 2X to a Large ( size 24 to a size 16). Feels really good !!!

Anyway...just wanted to let everyone know I was still alive and kicking. Still no internet access at home..but hopefully soon and then I'll catch up on everyone's blogs :-)

Loves and hugs to all..

I'm so glad things are looking up!

I think I would skip the rattlers too.

Fingers crossed your hubby get the job you want... so you don't have to dodge those rattlers! I don't think I would like snakes either! Luckily, as you know.. we don't have any here!

Moving to Washington would be good:)
We could even get together for lunch sometimes
Usually great summers but wet and cold winters.
Let me know if you are coming up.

I have just on my laptop and was surfing for something interesting for this morning and got this post. It took considerable amount of time of mine to read it but it was worthy. It made my day.
