Support, and not the breast kind either!

Sometimes it's just so hard keeping it all together, but darned I sure do try!  I am running my heels off this week preparing for this hog roast.  I am super excited and happy to finally have the day almost here.  I have a few last minute errands to run, a baseball game or two to attend, some food to cook, some supplies to pick up, ugh... it will never end till it's time to party! 

I had the honor to talk via email to a gal who is considering the DS surgery that I had.  I met her through my weight loss support group site.  She's been asking me questions and I've been trying to not sugar coat anything, but give that girl some honest down home answers and through writing her I have discovered one thing about me... I am BLESSED.

I realize that not everyone has the awesome support system that I have in place.  I have the most amazing husband, he truly loves every bone in my body and every ounce of me.  He just is the icing to my cake.  I have an awesome mother.  She's truly been a life saver more than once through this whole process.  My mother in law is absolutely the BEST a girl could ask for.  She has kept my children when I needed her the most she provided them the love and support that I wasn't physically or mentally able to give them.  She has cooked us meals, and helped tidy up my house.  I have awesome grandmothers who have cooked, cleaned and kept my kids too.  My sister in laws are always there when I need them.  I have just awesome awesome support.  I truly don't know how I'd have ever gotten through these last few months without a single person that's in my support system.  They are all truly a blessing to me.  I love each and every one of them for their kindness and support and really don't think I truly tell them enough just how much they all mean to me and how great they make me feel knowing they are there for me. 

I am ready to rock today.  I have things to pick up in town.  I have to watch Rochelles kids while she goes to work out and then I have to stop by and get a roaster and crock pot from my grandmas house for the party.  It's getting close.  The meat is thawing out as we speak and Tony is ready to come fire up the roaster first thing  Saturday morning.  I am sooooo HAPPY this week.  I am praying for sunshine and FUN FUN FUN for everyone!
