Half Way

As promised, here is the weight update. It does have some background story to cover so bare with me. Once upon a time, Megan and Randy got married in November 2009. She weighed 146 lbs. That was almost 5 years ago. Megan got pregnant with her first child in November 2010. That was three and a half years ago. When she went to her first OB appointment she weighed in at 158 lbs. Which was a little embarrassing but she was pregnant so it didn't really matter because she knew the baby had to gain weight so she hunkered down for the long hall of weight gain. Full term pregnancy weight with the first ended up being 178 lbs.

 After she has her first child, she drop back down to 163 lbs before suddenly jumping back up to 174 lbs.  This was discovered when she went to her first OB appointment with her second child only four months later. The first month after her first child was great. She felt human and alive and did some silly things she probably shouldn't have like yoga. But there was also the postpartum (another back story for another time.) With the second pregnancy there was weight loss at the beginning because the fetus was taking more nutrition than the first fetus had done. (Seems a little weird to call my kids fetus's but it makes for a more dramatic story.) The end weight for pregnancy number two was 186 lbs. After giving birth to baby number
two,  Megan weighed 176 lbs. Then the weight just heaped upon her. In December 2012 she weighed in at 189 lbs. And that is when she stopped getting on the scale. She doesn't know how high she actually went.We'll just say it was close to 200 lbs. There are not very many pictures documenting the excess of weight. This is one of the only ones Megan feels comfortable sharing on the internet at this time.
This time last summer
Now at the end of July of 2014 Megan has finally got back down to 158 lbs. All the baby weight is gone! There are still loftier goals for Megan past the baby weight but this is a huge accomplishment. Hooray!

The End of a Chapter

We said goodbye to Canyon View today. Canyon View has been Gabe's school for the last two years. Once upon a time I posted a post about how we suspected Gabe was autistic and now here we are two years and a couple of months later getting ready to send him off to kindergarten. I have tears pooling in my eyes right now as I look back at where we started and the amazing progress he has made. Facebook notified me about a memory from last year at the end of May when I celebrated him saying "mom" clearly for the first time. He's speaking in full paragraphs now (if he has something he wants to share). He is toilet trained. He is so incredibly smart. I have tried to express my gratitude for the teachers that have been on this road with us. Much of the progress he has made is because of your efforts and I am so grateful to you for being his other moms and a support to me. We will continue to have meltdowns, hard times and struggles, but we have an amazing foundation of love an...

A Series of Unfortunate Events

We borrowed out our van to a friend. She drove it to Salt Lake where it broke down. It is still there. We had to call a tow company to take it to a repair shop but our insurance only covered 5 miles and the nearest place is 7. So we will be getting an over-charge bill from Geico. We have never made a claim with Geico. The automatic online claim application denied us. So we had to call Geico and talk to a live warm body to get coverage on 5 miles. Keeping in mind that we have been Geico customers for 9 years and never made a claim, I think it would have been nice had they just covered those two extra miles. (Randy has been a customer for a really long time I was added to his policy almost 5 years ago.) The tow company never called to confirm that they had dropped off the van, the mechanic didn't call to tell us they had got the van. When we called during lunch today the mechanic said they had it, run diagnostic on it and don't know what is wrong with it but it is most likely the...

Because sometimes Facebook isn't good enough.

I decided to try blogging again. In the middle of the night, I start to write long political arguments that maybe sometimes start to be interesting enough to put out on the web. Scary right? Facebook just doesn't offer the right medium to put my ideas out there. In the beginning Facebook was the shiz! and then they started letting 13-year olds sign up and that was the end of a good thing. Facebook was a way to help people stay connected, and now it is a place to put your suped up emoticons and pictures of things that we really don't need or want to see in the first place. We do it because its there and its easy. Click the like button, click the share button. Sometimes I think there needs to be a "justify your reason for liking this <blank>" pop up just so that we actually have to think about what we are doing. Initially we see a something that was funny, or true so we share it only to discover the next day that it really wasn't that funny or true and in fact...
