My Story...

My story... Ahhh yes, a story it is. How long do you have??? Well, I will do my best to give my cliff notes version though I have to say...I write like I talk so the chance of this being short is slim to none. Let me start off by giving you a few facts about me...

My name is Amie (it's not Amy, Aimee, Arnie or Annie or oddly enough...it's not Army)
I am 32yrs old and forget my age often (I think I am in denial)
I am a mom to two wonderful little girls ages 6yr. and 8yr. (they are my life)
I am divorced (this is a story in itself)
I have met the most amazing man that any woman could ever hope or wish for and am the happiest I have ever been (this is where my blog heading comes into play) :)

I was born in Chicago but by the grace of god, I live in Texas...needless to say, I am often called a Yankee. ;)

The things I love (beside the obvious...kids, boyfriend, family etc..):
Laughing
Loving
Joking
Smiling
Hugs & Kisses (and lots of them)
Swimming
Friends
Sun
Rain
Snow
Cleaning
A Clean Car
Cooking
Baking
Shopping
Taking care of those I love!

Life has been pretty hectic for me in the past however, thru counseling, blogging and talking (which I do alot of) to friends and those very close to me...I have finally been able to get myself into a place where life is just not as crazy and out of control as it once was.

This is me...

I am sure you will learn much more about me as I continue to blog but for now, I have so much more to say than to tell you all about ME.

The Beginning....

Hi. For those of you who are new to my blogging page, welcome. For those of you who have visited before, as you can see, I have changed things around (deleted everything). I am taking my blogging down a different path. When I originally started my blog, it was based soley on my weight loss goals and my road to get there however, I have found that it is time to change things up a bit. I will still be blogging about my weight loss journey but my main blogging will simply be about life in general...my story, if you will.

I am typically a very "to myself" kinda girl however, I was introduced to the blogging world by a friend and have found it VERY interesting (or addicting, depends on how you look at it - LOL). I have come across the most interesting blogs...blogs that make me laugh, smile or cry...blogs about changing your life and getting fit...blogs about heartbreak...blogs about loss...blogs about love and blogs simply about life. The blogs that I follow are those of amazing women out there who have a story to tell. I thank each of you for taking time out of your lives to share your story with the world...it is so inspiring and at times when I struggle with things in my own life, I can just reach into someone elses world for a minute and leave my worries behind. For that...thank you!
