Watch out world here I come

What more to say...Since July of 2012 we have: Finished updating our yard Finished up 2 more semesters of school- I took summer classes Myra started preschool and loves it tremendously Started updating the inside of the house Started my LAST semester of school--this semester I received a letter from the President of MSU to congratulate me on my 4.0 GPA.Yes it made me feel smart. It is good to get that sometimes, when the person holding me back from my smartness is ME...:) The ward boundaries were changed so we are in a different ward now--I however received the same calling--ward pianist- It helps force me into learning new pieces and better my understanding and appreciation for music School seems to be a big part of my life right now. I have even considered getting a Masters program...I think I am a little crazy, but the research and projects I have been working on have helped me gain an appreciation for studying what I want to study. The project I am working on this semester would work great for a thesis! I would post some recent pictures but we lost our camera. When I realized that it was gone, I backtracked to a museum, and a restaurant, but neither of them had any good news for me. I feel like we have a bunch of memories erased. Another great achievement I have accomplished is the feeling that I don't have to weigh myself anymore. I have come to the idea that I am dissatisfied and hard on myself when I weigh myself, partly because I compare my weight to other women. After the 3 moves in one year, I got tired of pulling everything out, and I haven't pulled out the scale. I have found that it is nice to not know how much I weigh. I know I have lost weight by comparing past pictures to present pictures, but I do not care how much I have lost. It is nice to just see and feel the difference in weight loss. To become more comfortable with my body size and shape is more appreciable, for me, when I don't have know how much I am 'supposed' to weigh. I also lost interest in comparing myself to other women, especially on campus. As I realize that not every woman on campus has had 3 children. So when people are comparing each others weight and they ask how much I weigh I can honestly say I have no clue. Last time I weighed myself was after I had Kandie and I was about 200 lbs. If that is what I weigh now, then it is my muscle baby!!! Between working on the yard during the summer and now the house, I can say that when I flex I can actually see some of the muscle instead of just flab. It is such a wonderful feeling to not care about my weight, and yet I feel comfortable with it as well. As you can see, life is great. I have become more confident in my abilities, even if I was kicked in the head by a horse in my youth...I feel strong and not afraid to express my opinion and feelings on things. AND boy do I love it. I think this is what it feels to be an adult. Finally after getting married, having 2 kids, and almost graduating college, I have my own opinion and confidence to express them. Watch out world here I come...
