Where am I again?

I've been all over the place...or so it seems! Ha! However, I am finally getting a sense of being "settled" if that's what you wanna call it!  It sure feels a lot better finally getting to live with my hubby after a long awaited time!!!! However, we are away from family and friends which tends to make it a bit difficult!  You would think that this was the first time I ever left home, that Pennsylvania was some foreign land, and that I were to never to return home...Truth is, I love it here.  The people are so welcoming and nice.  The only things that are missing are my family and friends.   

  Of course I'm nervous being in a new place...it wouldn't be me if I weren't nervous about something!  I start work tomorrow which is just going to add to my gut churning, throat eating feelings, but as always, I'll survive, look back and see that it wasn't all that bad after all.  Besides, I am tired of JUST being at home.  I love our little house that we have here, I love both of the dogs and their crazy little ways, but I'm tired of looking at these walls and the dogs (as cute as they may be!).  Winter is causing another problem for me, as it does every year...the gloominess gets the best of me.  I cannot help but to look forward to beautiful blooms, green grass & trees, and blue skies!!!

I've been sitting on my ass for two months now, and it is growing.  I need to move again & get out of this funk.  It sucks that my body reacted the way it did, but it is my fault.  I have gained almost 20lbs since I've became a full time house wife (don't get me wrong, I love the housewife part, just not the extra personal "baggage" that came with it)!!  It is my fault because I chose to sit rather than stand, eat rather than exercise, and do NOTHING but watch TV.  Lack of motivation quickly set in after I moved here.  With the hubby gone for the biggest part of the day & me not knowing anyone here, I found myself in a slump...a sad, lonely slump.  It just kept growing bigger & bigger.  I mean sure, I talk to friends & family from time to time, but I don't want to be an aggravation.  One person I talked to though motivated me, as she always has, and always will.  Mary, a beautiful woman who has taught me so much throughout my life and inspired me all along the way.  Mary, the woman who treated me like her own since the age of six.  She is responsible for me getting off my ASS!!!  I mean, I knew I had my Zumba dvd's, but I didn't know where they were.  I looked for them, and didn't find them, so I gave up...until I talked to Mary!!  She always has a way of making things...CLICK...in my head somehow.  So, after a phone conversation with her not so long ago...low & behold, I found them...my beautiful Zumba dvd's!!!  As to my excitement I stripped down to my bra & workout pants & away I went!!!  Totally Zumbalicious :)  Of course I can't expect results the next day, getting smaller anyway, but I sure felt it, and that's all that mattered.  I was doing something for myself and it felt good.  Thank you Mary <3 p="">

So, where am I again?  I'm in PA with my beautiful husband and our two crazy dogs, beginning to pull myself out of my lonely funk!!!  haha!!I love it here, really, I just miss my people.
