Good morning. Today I am off to BSF and then to the Y and then to see Donna at church. Tonight Fletcher has his soccer awards at church. We are a busy family.
One week and couting until our annual Florida trip to Siesta Key. I can't wait. It is such an awesome place for us.

What an awesome day we had. The boys and I went to Seymour for the Octoberfest parade and balloon launch. We had such a good time with my mom and sister and her family. The balloons were so awesome. It was a beautiful day and to see the balloons fill with air, and then take off was really cool. I saw several of my highschool friends and their families too. We had birthday cake for my sister's birthday which is tomorrow. Happy birthday Bridgett. And yes, I pigged out all day. Oh well, tomorrow is a new day.

Well, it's been a while since I've had an entry here. I've been really busy. I've been filling jewelry orders and working at the hospital a lot. Keeping busy.

I've been doing a little better with the anorexia/bulimia too. Still on the Prozac and now seeing the counselor at church. She pretty much told me that it's not a disease, but a behavior that I'm choosing. She gave me a bunch of scripture which opened my eyes to a lot of different things. Pretty cool stuff.

So, I've gained some weight and feel a little "rounder" now. I have no idea what I weigh because we threw out the scales about one month ago. But I'm dealing with it. Being that lean is not good for you for too long a period of time. I was down to 95 pounds at one point and I was shopping for clothes in the girls' section. There are days when I still want to be that thin, but I'm learning to deal.

I got my first period in a year. I guess that's a good thing.

Well, it's a rainy Monday, but I feel pretty good. I will go to the Y this am and get my workout in, then go see my therapist this afternoon.

I have a long Bible verse to learn by tomorrow morning for my BSF. Romans 1:16-17. I'll be working on that all day.

Our Colts kicked butt yesterday! GO COLTS!!

We had a great weekend. We went to the zoo yesterday. The weather was wonderful and we had a great time. Last night, Kira watched the boys, and Brian and I had a date night. We went to dinner and did some window shopping. We had a great time together. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband.

I've eaten a lot all weekend, but have not purged once.!! I plan on getting serious tomorrow and the rest of the week. I feel heavy and bloated, so the calorie count will start back up tomorrow.

I am so excited about BSF. I am learning a lot and look forward to my quiet times learning.

I'm thinking about painting....our room or the basement. I need a project.

Boy, I'm really struggling today.

Ok, did everyone check out the cute couple? I mean, really, aren't they just adorable!!!!!

We are so happy for the newlyweds.

Congratulations to Andrew & Jana Neuman!

The two were married this past Saturday, September 2nd in a beautiful outdoor ceremony. We all wish them the best and know that they will be blessed. Welcome to the family, Jana and welcome both of you to married life - it's awesome!

Our prayer for the bride and groom:

Dear heavenly Father, we praise you this day for your majesty, your glory, and most of all for the Love that You have for us which surpasses all understanding. Love between a man and woman which matures into marriage is one of Your most beautiful types of loves. It is this love that has us gathered here today, in celebration of the marriage of Andy & Jana. We thank you, Father, for the precious gift of marriage for it is not an institute invented by man, but created by You, God. At the dawn of time, You said that “a man will leave his mother and father will be united to his wife and they will become one flesh”.

All of us here will attest to the fact that it is evident that the love that Andy and Jana share is strong, it is deep, and it is certainly unique. And, it is for this reason we know that it was You, Lord, who brought them together.

And now, as Andy and Jana embark on life’s greatest adventure together, we pray that they will seek Your face every day for as they move closer to You, oh Lord, they will grow closer to eachother. And - when the storms come, as they surely will, they will weather them with the strength of One who calms the seas with only a word.

Father, we ask for Your blessing over these proceedings. We ask that You will bless Andy and Jana’s marriage. We pray, Father, that You will fill there house with love; give them the strength and wisdom to fulfill their roles as husband and wife; that you would provide for them your protection; and that you will fill their lives with your presence – and lot’s of little babies, if that is your will…

We ask these things in the name your Son, Jesus, Amen.

Well, we made it through the weekend. What a great one it was. Brian's brother, Andy, got married, and we now have a new member in the Neuman family. Welcome Jana! The wedding was beautiful, and Jana was beautiful. The reception was awesome. The weather was perfect, and I think everyone had a good time. We are so excited for the newly weds!!

We went to the Apple orchard yesterday for our favorite apples, Honeycrisps! This is the best apple in the whole world, and they are only available for about 4 weeks in the fall. They taste like Heaven! We spent the day at the orchard with my dear friends from Fort Wayne. We had a blast.

Good morning. As I write this down here in my basement, I am staring at a vine that has started growing in through the basement window. I have been watching it grow for about 2 weeks now. It is about 2 feet long inside the house! It's starting to look like Jumanji down here!!

I'm working this morning. Nana is going to school to eat lunch with Fletch and then she will stay and we will all go to dinner tonight. No wonder I have an eating disorder...my life revolves around food!!

So far, I feel really good today. No bingeing or purging since last weekend. I'm feeling good about that.

Brian is in Virginia until tomorrow night. I miss him already. He is flying Delta Comair. Yes, just like the one that crashed Sunday. Pray for him for his safe return!

Psalm 117.
