Goodbye 2013, hello forever!


What a wild year 2013 has been!  I started a new job, moved, and got engaged!  Today is the last day of the year, and am looking back at the roller coaster.  There were times that I didn’t know how I would make it through the day, but here I am!  HERE I AM!  I am a survivor.  In comparison to others, my journey is not hard, but it has taken strength, guidance, and faith in something bigger than me. 

2014 is going to be amazing, there will be some really great things, but I know that there will still be challenges.  I will still wonder how I will make it through, but the difference is that I have, my love, that will be standing next to me the entire time.

In just two short weeks, I will be going in to have the gastric sleeve procedure.  I have struggled for so long with my weight; I am looking forward to being able to live, rather than waiting to die.  I am confident that my surgeon is the best in his field and that everything will go smoothly.  I am hoping to be able to come back to work in a week, though, people don’t seem to believe how serious I am!

In March, my fiancée and I will be going to New York, to get our marriage licenses, since in Michigan, same sex marriage is still not legal. And then finally in September, I will marry the woman that I love, in front of our friends and family. 

I will not make a resolution for this year; instead I will make a promise to myself.  Keep moving forward, with faith in myself.
